Vancouver police cleared in man's beating
Story here. Remember this particular case? Here is how it ends... for now. I have a feeling it won't, though. Excerpt:
'Two Vancouver police officers who faced an allegation of abuse of authority have been cleared by Delta police investigating the incident.
The accusation was made after the officers went to the wrong entrance of a home when investigating a domestic-violence call around 2:15 a.m. on Jan 21.
A woman called 911 to report that her husband was drunk and had assaulted her.
When plainclothes officers arrived at the address provided, they believed Yao Wei Wu, 44, was their suspect and used force to arrest him, resulting in injuries to Wu’s face, legs and back.
On Feb. 1, Delta police began to investigate what happened.
A report prepared by a senior Delta police investigator found that, although Wu had seen the officers’ badges and knew they were police, he resisted arrest, prompting the officers to pull him to the ground, where he hit his face. He was also punched in the shoulder a number of times.'
