Another disgusting Canadian police officer, all he needed was "better training"...
Takes a pipe to a kids face, the guy has to have his eye removed now, and the cop still went back to work! Insanity.
As is stated about Canadian police; especially those plain clothed, "they like them young, and they like them poor" "First to join the police, last to join the military"
Toronto cop charged after young black man allegedly beaten, blinded in 1 eye
A 19-year-old man allegedly beaten by an off-duty Toronto police officer is traumatized and awaiting surgery to remove his eye, according to his mother in a joint CBC Toronto/Toronto Star exclusive.
Dafonte Miller was blinded in one eye and suffered multiple broken bones after he was allegedly hit repeatedly with a steel pipe just before 3 a.m. on December 28, 2016.
According to his lawyer, Miller and two friends were walking down Erickson Drive in Whitby, headed to the home of another friend, when two men tried to confront them and began chasing them with a pipe. Miller's friends managed to escape the assailants but he was not so fortunate.
His family says Miller's left eye was so damaged that it will have to be surgically removed. He also suffered a broken nose, jaw and wrist.
Ontario's Special Investigations Unit said in a news release on Tuesday that Const. Michael Theriault has been charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and public mischief.
According to the SIU, Theriault was arrested by the SIU on Tuesday, subsequently released and is required to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Oshawa on Aug. 10.
Miller's mother, Leisa Lewis, feels the severity of his injuries warrants an even more serious charge.
"To me, it's like attempted murder," Lewis said, fighting back tears.
One horrific thought keeps running through her mind.
"Two, three more blows, my son could have been dead," she explained. "I can't get that thought out of my head."
