Two officers fired, four demoted for assaults
VPD Chief Jamie Graham apologizes to public.

On the VPD Media Liaison Unit's site there's a timeline of what happened, a video [16.6mb WMV] of Chief Graham's statement (as well as a transcript [PDF]), a written apology [PDF] by the police officers for the incident, and a 100 page document containing the Chief's Disposition [PDF] in regards to the beatings in Stanley Park.

Interesting reading and a good beginning. However, I think a lot more than this needs to take place before people are going to have any faith in the Vancouver City Police again. They've gained quite the rep for being a little over the top physically on many occasions (remember the GNR riot and the other cop related booboos of late?) and there are also hints of corruption deep within the ranks. Let's have a third party take a peek, not another police or government body, at what's what.

Where the hell is Frank Serpico when we need him?
