Didn't read the article, but I can see why you might force your way into someone's house if you believe that there has been a recent domestic assault. As long as nothing more happened (once inside), R v Goday (SCC), and the warrantless entry sections of the CC would support this. Of course, you have to have sympathy for the victim as well. It's his house, and he hasn't done anything wrong. I would read it as a lack of prudence by the police, rather than any bad faith.

I can also see why you might force your way into a house in those circumstances. But there's nothing in the article to suggest that they did that. It sounds like they dragged him outside and beat the snot out of him. They broke bones in his face. You've got to hit somebody pretty good to break bones in their face. Those bones are built to last. And their explanation is absurd. They want us to accept the story that they mistakenly went to the wrong door, got the wrong guy, and that he just happend to attack them anyway.

It sounds to me like a case of a couple of goons who were counting on nobody listening to the complaints of some ethnic wife-beater. Sadly, that's not who they ended up shitkicking.
