Alberta's police watchdog says an Edmonton officer who kicked an Indigenous teen in the head and caused severe injuries will not face charges, despite what it calls a shocking lack of judgment and disregard for life.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team, or ASIRT, said in a report Thursday there were reasonable grounds to believe an offence had been committed, but the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service recommended no charges be laid."The was standing above a 90-pound 18-year-old and pointing a firearm at him with two other officers nearby offering assistance.
Reacting to the ASIRT report, the lawyer for the Dumas family accused the prosecution service of trying to cover up police misconduct. "What is the point of ASIRT if at the end of two years of investigative hard work … the Crown prosecution can just kibosh it in secrecy under the cloak of privilege?"
Before a person may be convicted of any crime, the offence must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, Ball added.
