It was Aug. 4, 2021, and Const. Goran Beric and other officers were responding to a call at a public-housing complex on Bronson Avenue.
The man, covered in blood and in the throes of a psychotic break, lay limp on the hallway floor for more than two minutes as Ottawa Police Service Const. Goran Beric kept his boot firmly pressed on the man’s neck, saying it was the only way to keep him under control and out of range of bloody spit.
Beric was also found guilty of assault with a weapon for jabbing the man’s head as he lay on the hallway floor. The officer’s story that he had to press his “army” boot to keep control of the man and to avoid bloody spit during COVID-19 times was not detailed in his police notes. Unlike his testimony, his notes made no mention of spitting blood or being attacked. Beric did take the time to note other details in his investigative report, notably that there was so much blood in the hallway that he referenced the 1980 horror movie The Shining.
