A police officer in Alberta was found to have used excessive force against an autistic boy, according to a review by the province's police watchdog. The incident, which occurred in Calgary, involved an officer who fractured the boy's skull during a confrontation. The watchdog concluded that the officer's actions were serious enough to warrant criminal charges. However, the Crown prosecutor recommended against pursuing a criminal case. The review was initiated after the boy's family filed a complaint following the incident. The officer remains on duty but is under investigation. The case has sparked debate about the use of force by police, particularly in situations involving individuals with autism. Authorities are now considering whether to take further action based on the watchdog's findings.
