Jeff Lee and Darah Hansen | Vancouver Sun | September 03, 2005 MERRITT I Two RCMP officers have been suspended and an auxiliary constable has had his peace officer status revoked after allegations a young aboriginal man was picked up on Friday night two weeks go, severely beaten and dropped off in the bush to walk 10 kilometres back to this Nicola Valley town. "This has got to be the worst beating I've ever had in my life," Glenn Shuter, 25, said Friday. Two weeks later, Shuter still sports a black eye, a swollen ear and two broken front teeth -- the result, he said, of the police assault.
