6 cops suspended for....

beating the crap out of some kids. Like nice fucking police force we have here!

"The suspended officers who range from relatively new recruits to one officer with almost 6 years of experience are accused of picking up teenage drug dealers on Granville Mall. The sic are said to have taken the three young men in a police wagon to Stanley Park where they were beaten badly enough for one to be taken to hospital. The police department's internal affairs investigators have broken open the lockers of the six accused officers and seized their uniforms, boots, and batons. They will be sent for forensic analysis, apparently looking for DNA evidence linking alledged victims to the officers."

and ya think it only happens in Compton!

This is bad. I've seen police abuse people a lot here in America but we usually think Canada has less of that. I've heard that Vancouver has the worst police in Canada. I'm not sure weather or not to believe it but every time I read a Canadian story about police brutality it seems like it's in Vancouver.
But if you think those caps are mean, come south of the border and you'll see much worse.

Well we also have the most street drug trafficers and the most homeless. The sad but true reality is that a police officer is most likely to abuse there power on someone they see as being the least able to do anything about it. You'll never here about some kid from the BP's getting worked by the cops.

I love how there's only one side of the story.

Yes, this is a bad thing, but do you all honestly believe the violence was completely unprovoked?

Maybe this kind of violence isn't completely unprovoked but police should know better than to beat kids to an extreme like that where the have to go to the hospital. Maybe they mouthed off or did something to aggravate the cops but still...these are just kids.

I agree that it is only one side of the story but I don't think that any teenager, even though he sold some drugs deserves to be picked up, brought to a park and beaten.... they're suppose to do whats right but instead... they're acting no better than a bunch a thugs themselves.

The drug dealers on granville mall are hardly kids.

A lot of them have been doing it for quite some time, despite repeated arrests and warnings from authorities. And, despite all this they are still quite open and aggressive.

I don't know, I'm not saying it's right to brutally beat these people, even if they are guilty of a crime, but I find it a little weird that the article fails to elaborate on why this happened. I kind of doubt the police were just talking to eachother and being like 'oh it's a slow night, we're bored, let's just take these guys to stanley park and beat the shit out of them'...

there's two sides to every story, and the problem is the media wants to glamourize things to the extent that they don't even care about the other side of the story.

I'm sure there was an escalation that led to it happening but that's the point imo. The cops shouldn't be stooping down the level of petty criminals by acting the way they did. Losing respect in the eye of a comunity will do nothing to help enforce laws.

Ehh I dunno..

My friend and I went to the 7-11 last night to get a slurpee and the clerks there were complaining that they believe the Vancouver police really do jack all. They seemed totally frustrated that their store was repeatedly hit by petty shoplifters and armed robbery and that the police always did nothing..

One of the clerks then went off on some tangent about how the Cops in India are so much more effective because they beat criminals mercilessly, which they believed was a more effective deterrent for crime.

Go figure?

It was an interesting conversation to walk in on, that's for sure.

I think if the homeless weren't helped, there would be more crime.

A few of my friends where acquitted of interfering with the administration of law, assault on a cop and few charges like that. Basically they stopped a few cops beating up a girl.

I thought the cops where there to up hold the law, not be thugs them selves.

miss.myra, nothing could provoke cops to drive out 3 hand cuffed guy to the park to beat them,,, there IS not other side to the story.

You might be right if this happened on the street that the arrest took place.

uh.. that's a pretty judgemental thing to say. you speak as if a majority of all of Canada's crimes are committed by homeless people.
