Edmonton police chief finds officer who cracked man's skull may have used excessive force but opts not to hold hearing
71% Informative
Everett Rain was arrested for public intoxication and breaching release conditions on Nov. 18, 2019 .
He was taken to a holding area in Edmonton Police Service headquarters where officers tried to search him.
While Rain was handcuffed and restrained by two officers, Const. Michael Zacharuk attempted a takedown, sending Rain’s head crashing into the floor.
The chief decided to dispose of complaints without a hearing if he deems misconduct “not of a serious nature”.
Police Chief McFee said it is “difficult to see’ how the takedown could be considered proportional, necessary and reasonable.
McFee decided not to call a formal disciplinary hearing, citing section 19(1) of the Police Service Regulation , which allows a police chief to forego a hearing if he believes the alleged contravention is not of a serious nature.
