RCMP wrong to use Taser on Dziekanski: report

Article

"I concluded that the constable was not justified in deploying the weapon and that neither the constable nor the corporal honestly perceived that Mr. Dziekanski was intending to attack any of the officers," he said.

.

.

.

"I found all four officers’ claims that they wrestled Mr. Dziekanski to the ground were deliberate misrepresentations made for the purpose of justifying their actions."

.

.

.

"I also disbelieved the four officers’ claims there was no discussion between or among them about the incident before being questioned by IHIT investigators, although I did not conclude that they colluded to fabricate a story."

.

.

"This tragic case is at its heart a story of shameful conduct by a few officers. It ought not to reflect unfairly on the many thousands of RCMP and other police officers who have, through years of public service, protected our communities and earned a well-deserved reputation for doing so."

Shameful conduct ?

The guy is dead. They murdered him. And they're off scott free. That isn't shameful conduct. That's criminal dereliction of duty. By them. By their supervisors , by the whole department that openly defended them knowing what had happened, and that to this day , in full possession of the facts, allow them to walk free.

Do you know what's going to happen next ? I'll tell you.

Nothing. Nothing at all. The province signed a deal with the RCMP (this came out during the aftermath of the incident) so that the RCMP can't be charged with anything. Ever. No matter what they do. In British Colombia , it's legal for the RCMP to commit murder. Because the province is too cheap to pay for their own police force and they can get the RCMP on the cheap if they agree to this.

The BC government has created a "Police Dictatorship", and they seem to like it that way. But I know for certain I am never going there. No way.
