GOOD NEWS BAD NEWS COP STORY

Today's Waterloo Region Record carries this story titled "Officer on active duty despite judge's finding". In fact it isn't just one judge's decision, it's now two judges. The first judge back in 2009 acquitted Garett Rollins of assasulting a police officer and the second judge has just recently found the Niagara Falls police officer involved liable for $28,500 in damages for his assault on Mr. Rollins as well as for malicious prosecution of him.

The chief of Niagara Regional Police said he has ordered a review of last week's civil judgement against Const. Matt Pouli and will not comment until it is completed. Meanwhile the officer continues on active duty and has since his now court proven illegal behaviour. Superior Court Justice Paul Sweeny issued a scathing decision against Const. Pouli and further added that " he disbelieved the version of events put forward by the officer and a colleague, who both tried to pin the blame on the victim.".

Clearly the good news is that two lying, bullying cops have been exposed. The bad news is that the cop involved has continued on in his career after such disgusting and illegal behaviour.
