It is bad enough that this happened in the first place. The fact that the victim is still facing criminal charges after being brutally assaulted is fucking insane. Not only should he not be facing any charges but several of those police officers should be sitting in a jail cell today facing felony charges. The supervisor who reviewed the beating and said that he did not see anything wrong with how the police handled it should be in the same jail cell facing twice the amount of time behind bars. This stinks from the cop on the beat all the way up to the prosecutor. The feds need to get involved ASAP.
Odds are this will go yo Ontario's Special Investigation Unit, which will review and hopefully recommend dismissing the charges.
