多伦多一名警官因殴打年轻黑人被判刑

多伦多新闻报道,今天多伦多警官Michael Theriault,因为2016年在下班时间殴打年轻黑人Dafonte Miller,被判9个月监禁,缓行12个月(probation)。Dafonte Miller说,这个警官用金属管打他,对眼睛造成“可怕的伤害”(法官语),后来Dafonte Miller的一只眼睛因此失明。

Michael Theriault 兄弟辩称他们是试图逮捕Dafonte Miller,因为他试图闯进他们父母在车道停的车里。

从下面这段话看,在之前Dafonte Miller眼睛已经受伤了,是这个警察打的么?

In his decision, Ontario Superior Court Justice Joseph Di Luca found that Michael Theriault was not acting in self-defence or trying to make a lawful arrest when he struck Miller in the face with a four-foot long metal pipe near the end of the altercation, after his eye had already been damaged.

A Toronto police officer convicted of beating a young Black man while off-duty has been sentenced to nine months in jail and 12 months probation.

At one point during the incident, Miller said Michael Theriault brutally beat him with a metal pipe, resulting in what the judge described as a “horrific eye injury.”

Miller was left blind in one eye following the incident and now wears a prosthetic.

据报道,被判刑后,现在这个警察是停职停薪(suspended with pay),之前是停职留薪(suspended without pay)。注意到没,事情发生在2016年,距现在4年了,这个警察估计一直在停职留薪。
