Delta Police Department: Bryan London

Vancouver Police Department Dept: When the officers encountered Mr. Wu a then-44-year-old immigrant from China who speaks very limited English an altercation ensued, leaving Mr. Wu with fractured bones around his eye and bruises to his knees and back, according to Globe and Mail. The Delta police ultimately cleared the officers of any wrongdoing, concluding that Mr. Wu had resisted arrest and the officers had acted appropriately and the matter dates back to January, 2010, when officers Nicholas Florkow and Bryan London in plain clothes but with badges around their necks arrived at the wrong suite of the correct residence while responding to a domestic-assault call in South Vancouver. The Vancouver Police Department asked the Delta Police Department to investigate the matter independently. The final report included two very different versions of events: the Vancouver police said Mr. Wu was combative, swinging his arms, shoving an officer and forcing them to employ close handed tactical strikes, while Mr. Wu said the officers pulled him outside, pushed him to the ground, and beat him for 10 to 20 minutes as he screamed.
