Probe police conduct, gay-bash
After a seven-year legal battle a Toronto man who according to a jury was the victim of a “gay bashing” by Toronto police is calling for a public inquiry into the conduct of the officers he says wrongly arrested him and beat him while making homophobic slurs.
“Accountability, that’s what I am looking for,” said Robert Schisler, 53, at a press conference at his lawyer’s downtown office.
Earlier this week, the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal of a $600,000 judgment against several Toronto police officers. It is believed to be the largest settlement against a police service in Canadian history.
Schisler said he doesn’t want to see the officers fired, saying that won’t fix the problem. Instead he said they should have to undergo sensitivity training. The problem, Schisler said goes far beyond a handful of officers and should be thoroughly examined, he said.
In July 1999, Schisler was charged with dangerous driving and assault resisting arrest but the charges were stayed in 2001 for Charter violations. He sued police and after a three-week trial a jury concluded the officers did not have reasonable grounds to arrest Schisler. The jury also found that he was “intentionally restrained, confined or detained.”
Toronto police lost the appeal this week. The service has not commented on the decision.
