Ontario cops gone wild: False arrests, beatings, and naked detentions...

Ontario police have a penchant for brutality, sexual assault and false arrest, the latest example exposed during a civil lawsuit filed last month.

During preparations for the G20 Summit last year, Sean Salvati was arrested in Toronto for saying, "Well, good luck on Saturday."

On trial this year for similar abuse, Sgt. Steve Desjourdy, also from Ontario, cut off the shirt and bra of a woman who had been illegally detained and falsely charged with public drunkenness. She was left half naked in a cell for three hours. Here's police video of that incident: Full story + videos...
