From a CBC report on Ottawa police mistreatment of prisoners:

Russomanno said the video shows no evidence of the alleged assault on Morris and said the case and the Bonds case raise questions about the reliability of police testimony.

Given the current rash of incidents casting doubt on the reliability of police testimony regarding each other, I am beginning to think that there should be a reverse onus on police to prove innocence or perhaps a reduction in the burden of proof to the balance of probabilities in criminal cases against police for violence against civilians. In addition, disciplinary measures against the group when police witnesses to police violence refuse to come forward.
