How many people are shot or rotting in cells at the convenience of the police? I don’t know, you tell me, you seem to have some inside knowledge on this. Please, provide some examples.
Yes, I watched the video, perhaps you missed my post where I called it disgusting. No I do not think that was necessary and I do not condone excessive force, quite frankly it reflects poorly on every police officer.
With regards to his “one year vacation” and reassignment, I’ll have to look into the actual sanctions before making comment. However, there is precedence for offences like that, such as 60 days of pay, a permanent discipline record which is disclosable for criminal trials as well as permanent limitations on duty options in the future. Then on top of that there are the criminal repercussions. If he’s found guilty of aggravated assault that can come with a weapons ban so that can result in him losing his job as he wouldn’t be able to carry a firearm.
With regards to their reaction? It looks like they were kind of shocked to be honest, now the supervisor on scene told the member to stay away from the victim and that it was the worst case of excessive force he’d seen to that member at the scene. He then went on to testify against that subject officer during trial. Did the other members do that? I don’t know, I’d have to read the court transcripts. But you holding this case up as an example on police covering for each other is weak.

Have you ever read the NHL Rulebook?
If the Referees called the game to the 'Letter of the Law' the game simply couldnt happen.
This is the problem. We entrust the Police with integrity and discretion.
That trust is being betrayed.
