Officer acts like some thug in a 3rd world satire, and gets...wait for it...
A Toronto police officer has avoided jail time for threatening a handcuffed suspect with a Taser.
A Toronto police officer received a conditional discharge and was ordered to perform community service after he threatened to taser a robbery suspect. (CBC)
Christopher Hominuk received a conditional discharge and was ordered to perform 50 hours of community service.
Hominuk pleaded guilty to one count of threatening bodily harm in February 2011.
In May 2010, the 38-year-old officer was captured by his cruiser's on board camera hitting a burglary suspect, pressing a taser into the man's groin and threatening to shock him.
Moments later he is seen threatening to shock a second suspect, this time pressing the taser into the suspect's neck.
The incidents may never have come to light, court was told, had it not been for Hominuk's supervisor, who happened to review the camera's contents by chance days later and launched an investigation.
Best bullshit:
Hominuk's lawyers maintained the officer was a victim of hypoglycemia and that the diabetic reaction was responsible for the officer's behaviour...Justice Hugh Fraser noted Hominuk was over-tired, and had missed a meal that day causing his blood sugar to drop.
Stunning it its brazenness, no?
