COP FOUND GUILTY OF OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE

This is just plain nasty. Two days ago the Waterloo Region (K-W) Record carried the following story: " B.C. Mountie found guilty of obstructing justice in motorcyclist's death". Cpl. Monty Robinson seems to have missed the training lecture on ethics. What's worse, to date, two human beings are dead quite possibly as a result of his moral failures. This officer was the one in charge during the "...deadly confrontation with Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver's airport." Since then he's gone on to further distinguish his policing career by being involved in the death of a motorcyclist after consuming alcohol. The Judge ruled that Cpl. Robinson's behaviour immediately after that were "...wilful and deliberate in his attempt to cover up his actions in connection to the death of a young motorcyclist.". The officer left the scene of the accident which was two blocks from his home, put his children to bed, drank two vodkas and then went back to the scene of the accident. The purpose of the two vodkas was to jeopardize any attempt to suggest that he was impaired from the beer he'd had prior to the accident. Currently the Mounties are deciding whether or not Mr. Robinson is made of the right stuff to continue as a Mountie. Such a difficult decision this should not be.
