It will be interesting to see if they actually follow through with the charges. Why is this man still suspended WITH PAY? Insanity. How long will this man continue to receive compensation?

"He told the court he had left the scene of the crash, downed a couple of shots of vodka, then returned to the scene."

How did an individual such as that ever make it through Depot? Maybe that is where an investigation should start.

Suspended WITH pay? Some punishment that is!

Looks like RCMP officers are human too! Who would have thought they could make mistakes too! With over 20,000 officers across Canada, you would have thought that they ALL would be perfect, outstanding employees.

Seriously, don't blanket the RCMP because of a handful of stupid people. Statistically speaking, they hold themselves to a MUCH higher standard of criminality then the majority of the population.

Keep up the good work RCMP. Don't let the bad publicity of the selected few keep you down.

And the dirtbag doesn't have Stonewally to protect his kind anymore.

The RCMP is corrupt from top to bottom. If a cop is suspected of honesty, they are transferred to the high Arctic.

They are inept at fighting organized crime, because they are the biggest criminal gang in Western Civilization

Forget the "bad apples" nonsense; core rot is general at our worth than worthless federal money burner.

It is my understanding that the federal government has no money to fight white collar crime, let alone organized crime. Go figure, eh?

Send this piece of shit to jail and let the population deal with him. PIG Better stock up on KY you going to need it

chris you need to chill, big time. Truth, do you have hard evidence that the RCMP are corrupt, top to bottom or any of your other sweeping accusations? Of course not. Seriously guys, why even post this stuff? You would be better off posting on yahoo. Inflammatory, offensive unsupported content goes better there.

I agree with you 1001% caranmacil! Truth??? you know there is no way that you could truthfully say something like that unless you were the head of the RCMP and had worked you way up to that position through corruption and deceit!chris you sound like a little brat that needs a good spanking and a bar of soap!Shame on the both of you!
I have been involved with the RCMP in one way or another for the last 40 years never once have I seen anything that would cause anybody to say such trash as you two are spouting.

\the only thing more believable than truth's comments are probably his record.

I do not believe that this DUI incident is in any way an isolated incident, I believe that this happens even more than people realize.
I belive that if any of you out their have been following the Robert Dziekanski case you would have to be totally blind or an RCMP officer yourself to not come to the conclusion that the RCMP is rotten to the core.
Lets get this over with and begin rebuilding the new police force that is needed in our province.

Give him the electric chair IMO... The man has no honor as exampled in the Dziekanski case as well as his two-shots-of-vodka story... two innocent people are now dead because of this mans actions and decisions and he shows no remorse, no honor, and no character as a person.

Poppa .... the man is reported as having said that: "he had left the scene of the crash, downed a couple of shots of vodka, then returned to the scene."

Irrespective of whether he is an RCMP officer or not, how much credibility do you give to such a statement made by ANYONE in the absence of any other information?

I think the most important thing here is for them to proceed with due process, in the proper manner, like he was anybody off a construction site or from a mill.

Let the justice system treat him the same as any other person, and be handled accordingly, win or lose.

The important thing is to avoid the usual comedy of errors, such as the file "sitting on someone's desk" (how big are these desks ??) for too long or incomplete disclosure, or missing information, sloppy investigation, etc.

Do it right. Leave him and his counsel to their own devices how they make a defence to the charges. If he fails to make a viable defence, he gets processed like everybody else.

To serve and protect, Who? Themselves!

gus...I have heard that same story used by a lot of people facing a DUI and related charges. I guess based on that I can ASSUME that every other person behind the wheel of a car is also drunk and should be automaticlly arrested and convicted! I place this officer in the same catogory as every other DRUNK driver I have come across and believe he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.My beef and what I was commenting on was the ability of some individuals to convict the whole RCMP orginization because of the actions of a few of the members.

caranmacil and Poppa are cop lovers go suck them off or something but don't bother me

You people make me sick. The only reason why you would support them is if you are involed with them and are part of the problem

Chris reread my earlier comment. You need to grow up, big time. As for some of the other posters, i find it hard to believe the stuff people write sometimes 'give him the chair'? We dont have the chair here, for ANYONE, let alone for a guy whose maximum crime list is two counts of manslaughter. Poppa is right : under the law a oliceman should be treated like anyone else. No better, no worse. Once you toss out all the bitterness and anger (and stupidity) I think thats what most people would like to see. No individual case, regardless of it's profile demonstrates that a whole organization is rotten to the core (and thus needs to be dismantled etc.) I find it impossible that people old enough to type comments on 250 are unfamiliar with the idea of bad apples. Surely you have come across bad people in your line of work, or in your church, or in your family even. Do you think the same phenomenon does not exist in the RCMP? Dont brand the RCMP unless you want people to dig up a few bad apples in your profession, religion or family and use them to disband you!

Well said caranmacil. And as for that fellow that lives downtown, I have a funny feeling that he is part of the problem and that's why he is so anti-police.

I am not anti cop at all. I want Province Wide Police not Federal. I am not a bad person at all. I just know that when it comes to RCMP they are not to be trusted. To me I am more than sure you have a stake in this Caranmacil. Maybe you are a guard or a cop, probation ect... Sounds to me that you are. You know I understand if this had happened once before but this kind of behavior from those who we put in charge of the law is a bit much even you have to admit that. As for service my greatgrandfather fought at Vimy Ridge and survived with a tube down his throat to have 11 kids. My grandfather was Merchant Navy. My grandmother was British Royal Navy. They all fought so you and I can say what the hell we want in this country. Did your family fight? And if they did than you would know that abuse of power should be dealt with riight away. To me it's over educated like you that seem to be out of touch with this society. You want bash me eh. Go right a ahead. I know what is right for me. To me the only folks that should be cops and guards are those who have served in our forces. Anyone else is just a power tripper plain and simple.

Actually chris, you are the one bashing, not me. Thanks for calling me overeducated though, one can never have enough education. Otherwise that was a really strange post. For the record though, I have no association with law enforcement of any kind (other than speeding tickets and the harley raffle). I just dont like people throwing accusations and condemnations around like rice at a wedding.

Yeah true well have a good evening

You allow only ex military into the \rcmp and you will have power trippers for sure!
