Vancouver police cleared in man s beating and one time too many now still.. Two Vancouver police officers who faced an allegation of abuse of authority have been cleared by Delta police investigating the incident. So what else is new . this is common in BC, the wrongful norm .The accusation of the police officers immoral actions 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 these 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. The Delta police began to investigate what happened. The sole 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. Of course the Delta police Chief Jim Cessford concluded the officers were acting in good faith and in the course of their duties at the time of the incident that they had reasonable grounds to believe an assault had occurred and that Wu was the suspect or an assaultive subject and that the officers used reasonable force to control him. The police officers believed they were doing the right thing, that they were protecting a woman who was being assaulted, Cessford said.
Cameron Ward, a lawyer for Wu, called the investigation a farce. Ward said his client did nothing wrong and the findings are shocking. This investigation was a farce, he said. It provides yet another example why police should not be.....
