An Ottawa police investigation has absolved 13 OPP officers of inappropriate activity during a June 2006 incident at the Caledonia aboriginal standoff, the provincial force announced yesterday.
The officers were accused of ignoring the pleas of two CHTV camera operators who were assaulted on June 9 while filming an altercation with an older couple near a shopping area.
