Victoria Police Chief Del Manak carried out the initial investigation, determining no disciplinary action was needed. But the police complaints commissioner concluded there "was a reasonable basis" the decision was wrong and appointed a retired judge to independently review the case. Retired justice Brian Neal says the case will proceed to a disciplinary process, which could lead to a future proceeding where the officers face questioning and witnesses are called. Marilyn Slett, the elected chief of the Heiltsuk Nation, says in a statement that the band -- of which Johnson is a member -- is pleased with the latest development but wants recognition of the systemic discrimination they say occurred.
