Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

'Unarmed' Myles Gray ... whew


Hearing begins for Vancouver police officers' conduct in the death of Myles Gray

Hearing to probe whether officers intentionally or recklessly used unnecessary force


A 10-week public hearing into the actions of seven Vancouver Police Department (VPD) officers related to the August 2015 death of 33-year-old Myles Gray begins Monday.

The hearing will question whether VPD Constables Kory Folkestad, Eric Birzneck, Derek Cain, Josh Wong, Beau Spencer, Hardeep Sahota and Nick Thompson abused their authority by intentionally or recklessly using unnecessary force.

Police Complaint Commissioner Prabhu Rajan announced the hearing at the end of 2024, noting Gray died after the VPD officers “used significant force to subdue and restrain him,” according to the notice of public hearing.

Gray’s injuries included ruptured testicles, a broken voice box, a fractured eye socket and widespread bruising.

The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner (OPCC) says the hearing will be one of the largest of its kind in terms of the number of officers, lawyers, volume of evidence and length.

 
You don't think shooting your partner is screwing up? Daaaaamn 😉
Most likely yes. But a lot of different things may have happened there. Like I said, I'd like the facts.

Bad things can happen when contact/cover roles get mixed up, or when you're closing the distance on what you think is a controlled threat and they suddenly do something wacky...
 
I mean I'm confident I can shoot the knife out of someones hand. Doing it while my fire team partner is wrasselin em? That's next level confidence.
