Another extremely violent criminal. Round up
all the cops who participated in the assault (including those who didn't intervene or report anything) and lock them up for life. Funny how only after this incident the cop claimed he had some sort of condition that he thought would justify his violent actions. Sounds similar to how some christian priests who participated in child abuse and were conveniently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease just before they went to trial in order to avoid punishment.
Cop Convicted After Savagely Beating a 17yo Boy Chained to Hospital BedA veteran cop from the Guelph police department has been charged and convicted for his role in a savage beating caught on camera of a 17-year-old boy in a hospital — who was restrained to a bed. Failing to take responsibility for his actions, the officer blamed the incident on PTSD.
The incident happened in September of 2016 after the teen was admitted to Guelph General Hospital. The teen was apparently suicidal so he’d been restrained to a hospital bed and was taken to a safe room.
As the video shows, in spite of being chained to the bed, the teen was still flailing about, trying to cause himself harm. That’s when officer Corey McArthur snapped and threw a vicious elbow about the face and upper body of the teen.
The blow resulted in a massive gash below the defenseless teen’s eye which had to be treated with stitches by hospital staff.
After hospital staff investigated the cause of the teen’s injuries, they watched the surveillance footage and then notified police. None of McArthur’s fellow cops who witnessed the attack said a thing.
After the incident, McArthur and his defense team claimed that it was his PTSD that caused him to lose control and beat the restrained child in a hospital. However, the PTSD was completely undiagnosed and untreated prior to this incident. Markson said that his client has PTSD stemming from the death of a fellow cop who died in a car crash.
In total, McArthur has faced charges three times for assault. In 2010, he was found guilty of assault and given an unconditional discharge. However, he was rehired where he would strike again in 2014 and 2016.
The prosecution is seeking a suspended sentence with probation, which would leave McArthur with a criminal record.
The defense is seeking a conditional discharge with probation, which, if McArthur stayed out of trouble for three years, would leave him with no criminal record.
