It's been more than eight years since RNC officers knocked on Andrew Abbass's door, read from a piece of paper that he was being detained under the Mental Health Care and Treatment Act, and took him to the hospital in Corner Brook. He stayed there for six days, without medical diagnosis - or criminal charge. But the officer involved in instructing that detainment - and another who called Abbass a "loser,' have yet to go to a public police hearing. Andrew Abbass lives in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Recently, CBC Investigates reporter Ariana Kelland visited Abbass as part of the series, Police and Public Trust.
