Two police officers charged with assault

Two downtown Calgary police officers are charged with assaulting a man in a stairwell.

The off-duty officers are accused of assaulting a man inside the Calgary Police Service administration building at 316 - 7 Ave. S.E. on Nov. 6.

The man reported the incident immediately. He had a cut to his forehead and a broken rib.
Both officers have been relieved from duty with pay.

Const. Dino Izzo and Const. Roland Stewart are both charged with one count of assault causing bodily harm.

They will appear in court Jan. 18.


Good job guys, way to keep up the public image while at the same time the RCMP is undergoing scrutiny for being even more corrupt if thats possible.

Looks a three week holiday with pay for them.

At least these two idiots were caught.

I'll never understand why they get pay when they do shit like this.

[5hift]

the same reason they only ever have internal investigations into matters like these

I wonder if this will be swept under the rug like when the CPS officers were caught lifting drugs from the drug storage locker downtown?

Inncocent until proven guilty. Might piss you off but it's everyone's right to have their day in court.

innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

All we know for sure is that there was an altercation between them. for all we know, the guy could have assaulted one of the cops first and the other joined in to help. not saying this was the case, and do not mean to defend the cops, all i am saying is that we don't know the full story. Would be pretty harsh on the cops and their families to be suspended without pay at this time of year if they were truly innocent of any wrong doing.

*edit* damn you digi355, beat me to the punch.

More of these to come in the future. People never used to report this type of shit for fear of reprocussions, now people are getting fed up with it.

I could be wrong, but usually one is not charged with assualt (especially a police officer) unless there is decent evdience of an assult taking place along with a suitable story. If there was no proof the cops would just say it was self defence and it would be their word against someone elses.

Secondly, if the guy was a random who just assulted two undercover police officers, wouldnt the police officers have the ability to lay an arrest right there despite being off duty?

No wonder cops have this superiority complex. You can assult someone, spend the holidays with your family while getting paid, and then return in a few weeks, when a internal investigation covers up any potential lose ends.


So you say innocent until proven guilty, if these jokes are convicted, do you think the CPS will regarnish salaries paid while they were on administrative leave?

Ex Police Chief Jack Beaton was a huge fan of keeping things hush hush. He spent most of him time going after and suing former officers who were exposing him and the force for their shady doings.

[Masked Bandit]

I wonder what the WHOLE story is to this......

[finboy]

if they are found guilty, i think they should have to pay back the money they were paid while suspended

...and subject themselves to a beating the likes of which they dished out to their victim.

EXACTLY. I agree with the "innocent until proven..." espeically in the law enforcement field profession, people do wrongly accuse cops of wrong doings. HOWEVER, in solid cases (i.e. surveillance cameras, etc...) proves these CPS started an unprovoked assault, they (the cops) should have to be held in a harsher regards; and fined in excess of what they were paid doing their rewarded vacation.

He was known to police before this incident...when I knew him he was in and out of jail all the time.
