But of course, they're still on the payroll. Not kidding.
WINNIPEG — A judge has convicted two Mounties of beating a man following an altercation outside a hotel bar. The two officers "exaggerated" the actions of victim Conley Papineau in their police notes and reports, not knowing the assault was captured on a security video, said Justice Perry Schulman.
The Manitoba-based officers claimed Papineau became belligerent after they stopped him outside a Grand Beach, Man., bar in October 2008 and lectured him about drinking and driving. Moyse and Ens wrote in a prosecutor's information sheet that Papineau was "staggering and wobbling" to his car and was "stinking of liquor." They also alleged Papineau attempted to hide his identity by pulling his sweater hood over his head.
Schulman said Papineau showed no signs of impairment on the security video and made no attempt to hide his face.
"I believe (Papineau's) evidence that he did nothing to justify his arrest," Schulman said.
And yet.............they're still on the payroll indefinitely, while they appeal. Below: Cpl Moyse. Perpetrator
