The Special Investigations Unit has cleared three Toronto police officers in a complaint from a man who suffered a broken nose and a serious eye injury during a drug bust last year. Clarke told the Star that police were looking for drugs and the brother of his roommate, who was on probation but had never lived at the Scarborough apartment. “The officers were entitled to search the apartment, and to take steps to ensure their safety and the preservation of evidence in so doing,” Martino wrote. “There are no grounds for proceeding with charges against any of the involved officers notwithstanding the injuries suffered by the complainant,” Martino wrote. The SIU investigates any allegations of serious injury, death or alleged sexual assault involving police.
