Mountie Keeps Job Despite 'disgraceful' Behaviour

Posted on Thursday, August 09 at 16:11 by Diogenes
Ramsey's case was heard in May by three senior Mounties. A written copy of their decision was released in response to a request from The Sun. The decision indicates Ramsey committed several violations of the RCMP's code of conduct over a one-month period, and admitted to them all. On Dec. 15, 2005, according to the decision, Ramsey got into an argument with a Whistler bus driver after mistakenly believing that he had left his police identification on the bus. After the driver failed to find the ID, Ramsey, who was intoxicated, began "shouting obscenities" and refused to leave. "Ramsey had to be physically removed from the bus by a security officer and other passengers," states the decision. "After being removed from the bus, Ramsey threw a rock at the driver's door. The rock did not cause any damage." A month later, on Jan. 18, 2006, Ramsey got into more trouble while hanging out with a friend who had a criminal record, the decision says. The friend, Alexander McDonald, picked up a prostitute in Vancouver and brought her back to Ramsey's motorhome, parked nearby. Unfortunately for McDonald, the "prostitute" was actually an undercover Vancouver police officer. http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=807d6171-8060-41b8-bf51-b8d7b2a93e88

    What I have never understood about the Canadian Courts and the Police is if this happened to the average citizen we would go to jail, lose our jobs and get no sympathy what so ever even for our families from the courts and the police but both of these institutions never seem to hesitate to protect and feel great sympathy for one of their own and their families. To serve and protect as well as the rule of law doesn't really mean what it should does it?

    Difficult decisions are a privilege of rank.

    What I never understood is when Judges give people 6 months house arrest for murder, then in cases like this the Mountie gets to keep his job; and they are outraged at the former, but accept the latter.

    The preceding comment deals with mature subject matter, however immaturely presented. Viewer discretion is advised.

    The RCMP have a long way to go before they will ever get my respect. When you see a senior bureaucrat taking charge of the RCMP , then you know full well that we are headed to a police state, where "government" / the political party is in control.

    The RCMP should be investigating the public service , because when one bureaucrat can steal $145 million , you can bet that others are doing the same. Could this be why the FOX is now in charge of the HEN HOUSE?

    Time to REFORE this goddamn political process and need be , we might have to put up fences to keep party candidates off our property.

    Canadian politicians are the lowest form of life, I saw one the other day , going under the belly of a snake.

    KEEP IN MIND THIS THOUGHT!

    "Judges give people 6 months house arrest for murder"

    This is a standard issue job protection scheme. So long as there are criminals on the loose, those who are employed in law enforcement have job security.
