Is Canada hiring American cops?

My future son-in-law was walking home two nights ago when he was attacked, cuffed and taken in by a Toronto police officer because he had on a red shirt and they were looking for someone wearing a red shirt. Even if he was the guy they were looking for, there was no reason to beat him up. At the station, they realized they had the wrong guy. The arresting officer wanted to charge him with resisting arrest, presumably to cover up his actions, but his superior officer told him to let him go. If he had resisted arrest, the cop would have been seriously injured by this former captain of his school's rugby team with multiple black belts. I've never felt so helpless. His head was bloody and he is bruised all over. He is missing work and so not getting paid. The photos my daughter sent me are horrible. I can't convince him to even go to the doctor so I guess filing a complaint is out of the question. He is so shaken up I figure he just wants to forget it. The world is a scary place when the people who are supposed to protect you, attack you instead.

1. Trust me, Canada does not need to import assholes.

Some of their cops do the exact same shit as American cops. Usually to first nations people.

2. I think the new hired cops are post military, Iraq-Afghanastan War...

They tend to have the view that citizens are " enemy combatants" as that is how they approached villages etc in a war zone. The transition back into a community view of the public is not being emphasized. American gun culture of today and racism also reinforce the aggressive thinking of our new cops.
