Likely No Charges Against RCMP Who Killed Robert Dziekanski
It is being speculated that no charges will be laid against any of the RCMP officers who brutally killed Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski in the Vancouver Airport.
Considering that RCMP homicide investigators investigated fellow RCMP officers, are you surprised?!
Members of the RCMP tased and knelt on the neck of Dziekanski within 25 seconds of contacting him in an airport waiting area. He died.
The RCMP who killed Dziekanski refused to remove handcuffs from him when ambulance attendants requested that they do so. The handcuffs were only removed after it was determined that he was already dead.
This is not your grandfather's old Royal Canadian Mounted Police. This is a perverted mutation of what was once Canada's proud national police force.

The only way we can at at those homicidal bastards is to accuse them publicly and invite a lawsuit. If they're smart, they won't sue; if they're stupid, we get full disclosure.

I tried to get a reaction when I referred to them as a 'death squad' - so far ... nothing! Great idea!

If no charges are laid, it will be an outrage.

John, I agree. I think that there must be some kind of charges: aggravated assault (or) criminal neglect ... something! A life was taken for no reason! There simply must be some kind of consequences for the officers involved.
IF NOT ... then the actions of the RCMP in this case are sanctioned as 'business as usual' and none of us are safe.
