RCMP acknowledges public trust eroded after Dziekanski incident

Article


"The public trust is at a level we would rather not see," RCMP Cpl. Peter Thiessen told reporters during a lunch break at Monday's inquiry, which heard testimony from RCMP Cpl. Monty Robinson, the senior commanding officer in the early morning hours of Oct. 14, 2007, when Dziekanski was Tasered five times and died minutes later.


We think you're a pack of hoodlums who have found a loop hole in the legal system to let you "legally" murder people. And you're exploiting it to the max. Does that about cover what public opinion is right now ?


"We're going to work extremely hard to get it back to a level we would like to see," Thiessen said.


We're doing diddly squat about it but give you the finger. Those officers who were responsible for it all are not even getting a slap on the wrist , and we're demanding every officer in the country carry a taser.

This is what you're working extremely hard to do.


A reporter raised the fact that all four officers involved in the fatal in-custody death have admitted their police statements were wrong in describing the events that led to Dziekanski's death.

"Why have these officers not been fired?" a reporter asked.


They're not going to be fired, or even punished, even though they were caught red handed lying about a murder investigation , and trying to cover it up (the cell phone video we all see had to be gotten back from the cops via a lawyer after it was confiscaated).

This is the "give the public the finger and keep on killing" part. Not that the cops screwed up , but that you're blatently protecting them and encouraging them to do it again. Thats the part where the whole system can now justifiably be called legal murder. You're defending the murderers and egging them on to do more and more, you're not punishing them.


He also said Robinson has offered to meet privately with Dziekanski's mother, Zofia Cisowski, who is attending the inquiry and said loudly as Robinson walked by, "Nice to meet you."


We would like to meet privately with the victems mother so that we can assure her that nothing will change we will still kill people with tasers in the future. We like giving people the finger and she should be no exception.

All dark humor aside,what exactly do you plan on telling Zofia Dziekanski ? We're terribly sorry your son is dead. No , the killers will not be brought to justice. No they won't even get a slap on the wrist , they were just following policy we're allowed to do this in Canada , it's perfectly legal. Is that about what you plan on telling her ? Just walk away buddy, and leave her be. She doesn't need to hear that.

Why am I ticked ?

Less than a week after they tasered that guy to death they tasered an old man in his hospital bed. He didn't even have the strength to get out of bed they had to go to his retirement home and while he still lay in his bed taser him.

These people are just out of control. I can't even call them police anymore. They are the classical thugs with badges.
