Testicle Taser threat 'disgraceful': Cop spokesman

TORONTO -- A Toronto cop's threat to Taser suspects' testicles was condemned as "disgraceful, unacceptable and shocking" Monday by a Toronto Police spokesman.

The video, released by a Justice Hugh Fraser, shows Const. Christopher Hominuk profanely vowing to Taser two handcuffed prisoners in the rear of police cruisers on May 24, 2010.

"This officer's actions are disgraceful, completely unacceptable and shocking," said police spokesman Mark Pugash. "One of the reasons we had these in-car cameras installed was the protection of both officers and the public.

"We could identify the frivolous complaints and the serious ones, as we did in this case, and followed it up with an investigation by professional standards, which led to this charge."

Hominuk, 37, pleaded guilty last Monday to one count of threatening bodily harm in the west Toronto incident. He'll be sentenced in June and has been suspended with pay since being charged last June.

An in-cruiser video camera caught Hominuk slapping Robert James Bolgan, 47, in the face and ordering him to lie down on the back seat.

Court heard that Hominuk insisted Bolgan reveal the identity of a missing suspect. Bolgan answered that he didn't know.

"If you are lying to me, when I get you back at the station, I'm Tasering you in the f---ing nuts," Hominuk snarled at Bolgan. MORE HERE WITH VIDEO
