Montreal police suspend 2 officers following report officer urinated on unhoused person
Montreal police have confirmed the suspension of two officers assigned to a downtown station following a report that an officer urinated on a person experiencing homelessness during working hours. One advocate said it's "hard to imagine a more degrading or violent act."
Montreal police have suspended two officers and launched an investigation into allegations of misconduct. The police, however, could not disclose further details to protect employee personal information and maintain professional investigation standards. According to La Presse, one officer allegedly urinated on an unhoused individual while on duty; fellow officers denounced this colleague.
The second suspended officer, involved in a separate incident, allegedly posed for photos mocking a suspect in a humiliating position during an arrest. These allegations were reported by the Canadian Press, but they have not independently verified these claims. The suspensions follow earlier allegations of racism and misconduct at a Montreal patrol unit, leading to the suspension of four officers and ongoing Crown prosecutor review for potential criminal charges.
