A city investigation has exonerated two Edmonton transit peace officers accused of racial profiling and excessive force by a black teenager. Cellphone video from the incident at the Belvedere LRT station shows the teen was pushed to the ground and handcuffed by two peace officers who then ticketed him for loitering. Edmonton Police Service investigators determined the peace officers acted within their lawful authority, and no charges were laid following an investigation that ended in October. The same conclusion was reached last month by the peace officer section of the city's community standards and neighbourhoods branch. Dramatic video shows an Edmonton teen arrested by peace officers after being accused of loitering at a transit station.
