Vancouver police say right suspect arrested after innocent man mistakenly detained

A statement from Vancouver police says 47-year-old Dean Gallant was arrested on the city's west side last Wednesday.

He and a female accomplice were wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for a violent home invasion in Calgary last month and police say the woman was picked up on Monday in Vancouver and both remain in custody. Gallant was arrested on Feb. 22, just hours after the emergency response team mistook an innocent man for their suspect as he walked in Vancouver's Yaletown neighbourhood.

He suffered extensive bruising when he was hit by the projectiles during the takedown, but the police statement says officers quickly realized their error and he was released and received medical attention. The department says senior officials have apologized to the man for the arrest and the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner has been notified.

The cops didn't identify themselves, therefore this is clearly an armed assault. Saying sorry, like Trudeau always does, is unacceptable. A $100,000 cheque would be more appropriate, and a demotion for the officers. Otherwise, see you in Court.

Payday

That is a sorry old excuse the cops should be fired on the spot and arrested themselves see how they like it

Shot* Wrong random person shot on the street twice

Shot twice is a lot more than 'detained.'
