## Resource

A former Montreal cop cleared in the fatal shooting of a Black man is suing the police ethics commissioner for $1.1 million, claiming a five-year delay in finalizing his case destroyed his career and caused severe psychological harm. Though an independent watchdog exonerated him in 2021, the commissioner’s delayed ruling in 2023 left him in limbo, leading to professional ruin and emotional devastation. Bertrand argues the commissioner’s prolonged inaction breached legal protections, turning a closed case into a prolonged nightmare.
