Gun charges fell apart last month when a judge found Toronto police officers used excessive force during a raid, questioned a man “in a vulnerable position” and were “misleading” to try to cover it up.
As a result, the judge ruled evidence of illegal firearms and ammunition couldn’t be used in court, and 27-year-old Toronto rapper Omary Bent was acquitted of the charges.
But it’s unclear what the punishment will be, if any, for the five officers involved. For now, they’re still doing their jobs — jobs that, for some, involve teaching other officers how to do theirs.
And as CBC Toronto has learned, some of these officers have been accused of lying in court before.
This is another bunch of total pieces of shit though, the TPS.
