I don't think you would have caught Benton Fraser doing that.

[LightStarr]

Not unless he was spitting on his hand in order to help the guy get a stain off something.

[bootlegga]

And RCMP officers wonder why some people don't respect them them the way they used to...

No shit. Does the spat on guy get the docked pay?

[martin14]

2 strikes...

how many do the police get anyway ?



damn, if I spat on one of my 'people'.. customers, teachers,
finance people...

[Pseudonym]

Seems like a bit of an anger management issue. Are there regulations to make him take classes, or a three-strike rule, or something? It's not really good for the RCMP's image, so moving him to a less... confrontational role might be in their interests.

[Praxius]

Of course if you spit on a police officer, that's deemed assault of a police officer, and you can end up hitting the jails.... in fact the majority of cases, you usually do end up in jail.

Bit of a double standard here if you ask me.

Where's their jail time?

Or is it considered police brutality?

$1:

Const. Ken Whitney, a former B.C. Lions football player, pleaded guilty to assault six years ago after slapping a man for taking a parking spot the off-duty officer wanted. A Vancouver provincial court judge ordered Whitney to perform 25 hours of community service; he got to keep his job, but was fined two days pay.

More recently, the RCMP’s adjudication board found Whitney guilty of disgraceful conduct for confronting a driver “in an unprofessional and discourteous manner” while on duty on April 13, 2007.

The board concluded Whitney swore at the driver and spat on him. It reprimanded and fined him five days’ pay.

So it's just "disgraceful conduct" but not assault like it is when the shoe is on the other foot.

Nice.

In hockey, it's a match penalty, attempt to injure. Should be the same here.

[danimal]

That is disgusting and unprofessional.

Actually Lemmy it's a Gross Misconduct, not a match. It carries the same sort of penalty which is decided by the league. Don't ask how I know this.

Its totally unprofessional and unacceptable,, turf the guys ass out of the force, he is not worthy of the job.. The RCMP are going down the tubes and Canadians are losing respect for them..

[digerdick]

A criminal charge was laid, but it was later stayed after Whitney sent a letter to Benn in July 2008 to apologize.. Their must be a point when someone like this is let go .... maybe the problem is all the steroids he probably did when he played football ..... the people dont need someone protecting them that cannot control their rage.....

[Regina]

If he's going to stay on the job.......I wonder if two or three years working out of Tuktoyaktuk would settle him down?
