This is very troubling.

If the police are guilty, fire all involved and pay the victim.

Also reforms need to be put in place so things like this never happen again.

$1.2million CAD is like $687.50 USD. Meh, he should get WAAAY moar.

If he was wrongly accused, I think that’s about right compensation.

And taxpayers will have to pay the settlement.

wow, thanks for information!
