2 Montreal police officers suspended for lying about man who died in custody win appeal
22 days suspension without pay to 2 days.
Thank god for the justice system
While I can understand that proper procedure was violated and this caused the reduction, these officers failed to do their duty properly and were caught. The criminal who passed did have two outstanding warrants. It seems to me like everybody sucks here, but the cops shouldn't have gotten off so lightly with that suspension reduction.
So having warrants (no trial or conviction, btw) means you deserve to die? That sounds really fucked up and inhumane, so I'm just asking for clarification. This isn't AITA, a person is dead.
I don't recall saying he deserved to die. You're putting words in my mouth.
I dug some more online and discovered he died from heart failure due to cocaine in his system after partying all night. He was pulled over at 7:45am and hadn't slept yet. The guy seems to have made many poor choices and they caught up with him.
The cops here sucked, and this guy's choices sucked. The cops deserved a much harsher penalty. The guy didn't deserve to die due to cop negligence, and his death wasn't a direct result of the negligence. He fafo'd with the limits of his body.
"the criminal who passed" ... You must write newspaper headlines for the Gaza genocide. I'm disgusted by your use of the passive voice.
These officers acted with criminal negligence leading to the death of an innocent (unless you don't believe in innocent until proven guilty) person in their care. Anyone else would be in jail. The police lose 2 days of pay.
Did you read the article? The alleged criminal had sickle cell anemia but did not die from complications of that. The officers neglected to log that medical issue and did not allow him to get his medication for anemia.
I dug a little bit more for you Hacksaw. The guy was pulled over at 7:45 in the morning. He had been partying all night in a different city and hadn't slept as he and his friend drove to Montreal after partying all night long. His cause of death was heart failure due to cocaine in his system. He was 23 and already had two outstanding warrants. I couldn't find it what those were for, only that they were not related to weapons.
I'm firmly of the belief that acab. Well, 90% of them anyways. This dude, while not dangerous, was also not an upstanding citizen. He died from his poor choices.
I hope you learn to get as much info as you can before you go blasting people online. For the record, I volunteered in loss and bereavement for 8 years. "Passed" is a preferred term for the deceased.
Edited for an autocorrect error.
hacksaw is a fuckin troll. Just mute them and move on with your life eh
No death penalty in Canada unless you piss off a cop.
