Nearly a year after an Ontario judge called his assault on a young Black man a “shocking violation,” a Toronto police constable pleaded guilty to professional misconduct at a disciplinary tribunal Wednesday. In a joint submission with Gary Clewley, Dropuljic’s lawyer, Leung asked the hearing officer to dock Dropuljic nine days’ pay. Dropuljic, 52, pleaded guilty to the criminal charge last year and, this week, to professional misconduct under Ontario’s Police Services Act. When Wilson refused, Dropuljic “physically pulled” Wilson from the rear seat onto the pavement, according to court documents. Hussein, the Toronto police disciplinary hearing officer, said he will rule on Dropuljic’s penalty at a later date.
