Assuming you're talking about the Calgary police, statistically, I doubt it. Most of CPS was giddy to elect Kaminsky as their union president. This Kaminsky:

Quote:
[22] Realizing the gravity of the situation, the Accused told Kaminsky he had enough, and that he was going to exit the vehicle. On opening the door, and raising his arms in submission, Kaminsky grabbed the Accused by the arms and threw him like a rag-doll, face first, on to the hood of the Tahoe. While pulling his arms forcefully behind his back to handcuff him, the Accused complained about a shoulder injury and that he was in pain. Kaminsky responded by striking the Accused forcefully with the baton twice on the back of his neck. This was witnessed by the civilian witness, Amestica, who had just arrived at the scene by taxi, after being phoned by Smitna, to bring the registration and insurance documents for the Tahoe. Amestica, who was standing on the sidewalk 10-15 feet away, shouted at Kaminsky that he should stop hitting his friend, and that he was going to kill him. Kaminsky responded, “#### off and go away or you will go to jail too”.

[33] The Court having rejected the evidence of Constable Derrick, Sargent Kaminsky, and Acting Detective O’Neill as being unreliable and not credible, the Crown has not satisfied me beyond a reasonable doubt that the Accused uttered any threats to kill.

A thug who lied on a police report after beating up a citizen as 'punishment'. Admittedly not the best citizen, but a citizen all the same who at the time was doing no wrong.
Takes a real #### head cop to be called "unreliable and not credible" by a judge in a decision. And that's who the CPS wanted to make sure represented them.
