In Policing the police, we examine the aftermath of a shooting in a small Ontario town after one police officer shot another. In a surprising twist, the officer who was shot was the one charged with assault. The Fifth Estate takes a closer look at the Niagara police officer’s past and the system that allows officers disciplined for misconduct to stay on the job. The documentary comes at a defining moment in our history when people are publicly protesting and demanding a better way of policing the police.
