Two Toronto police officers who were recorded mocking a 29-year-old woman with Down syndrome have each pleaded guilty to one count of misconduct before a disciplinary committee. Matthew Saris have entered their pleas at a police tribunal hearing packed with people supporting Francie Munoz. The Munoz family only learned of the comments because they decided to fight the ticket issued at the time and requested the evidence against them. The family has said Sljivo can be heard describing Munoz as "disfigured" and a "half-person," while Saris is heard laughing and agreeing. Munoz has also filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, arguing the officers' behaviour amounts todiscrimination.
