Read this paper and tell me that they are 'normal people' off-duty.

Yet they are paid and trained to be held accountable to a higher level. That's the point.
“It remains unclear what actually caused Facey’s death but the officers involved are now facing disciplinary charges for allegedly failing to notify police about their use of force and failing to document their interaction with him.”
Did you even read the article? The police involved are facing disciplinary charges for their actions.
I’ve done the same thing when I was in my early 20s and looking back at it if this guy got seriously fucked up or died then my life would be so fucked. I’d 100% be going to jail and the defence of “oh he scammed me on Kijiji” wouldn’t really hold up in court. And that’s what people are outraged about. The fact that police (especially off duty police officers like the two brothers who beat the Durham teen to the point where he’s blind in one eye) aren’t held to the same standard as citizens.
How dumb are you??? They're "facing disciplinary charges for their actions". These aren't criminal charges. They made a poor error in judgment by not notifying the police. Okay, as police offers they should have done that. Doesn't change the fact they are human, and in the heat of the moment someone rips your off/takes your money you organically try to stop it from happening.
Right, and now they're the facing disciplinary charges because of it so what more do you want?
How dumb am I? Bro stop the boot licking for a minute and think about how you sound right now.
For the cops to be held to the same standard if not a higher standard than average citizens. Not that hard to figure out dumb dumb
"They're "facing disciplinary charges for their actions". These aren't criminal charges. They made a poor error in judgment by not notifying the police."
Sounds like some kind of internal administrative oversight by the off duty cops. Definitely not criminal .

Wooooow. This will be the las time I respond to this, as it seems to be beyond your comprehension. The cops are being held accountable. If there was merit for them to be criminal charged, they would have been. This happened 9 months ago. It's pretty apparent there's no grounds for them to be charged. As police officers, they definitely should have reported to the police, and because they didn't, they are facing disciplinary charges. The news needs to sell stories, so they will spin this like there is more to it (especially with their headlines) when there really isn't anything more to the story. Two cops screwed up, but they didn't kill the guy.
Transparency and criminal charges if the injuries led to death. Have you not caught the gist of the thread?
How are you not??? This is about the 4th time I've said this. So here you go for the last time:
THIS HAPPENED 9 MONTHS AGO. IF THE MEDICAL TEAM THAT TREATED THIS YOUNG MAN SUSPECTED HE DIED AS RESULT OF THE COPS ACTIONS, THIS WOULD HAVE CAME TO LIGHT BY NOW AS THE AUTOPSY WOULD HAVE SHOWN THIS AND THE COPS WOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED. OBVIOUSLY, THERE WASN'T EVIDENCE OF THAT. A KID RIPPED THEM OFF, THEY CHASED HIM DOWN AND GOT THERE MONEY BACK. FAIRLY NORMAL THING TO DO IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT.
My point from the beginning, was the kid was on kijji trying to scam people. So yeah, I'm bit sympathetic towards the cops because the news is spinning this story like there's more to this as if they beat him to death and people like you will fall for it.
So you don't want transparency then? And as I said, trained police shouldn't go violent "in the heat of the moment", especially when off duty. If you actually took the time to look at what I was saying, at no time did I say the cops killed the kid.
p.s. they weren't acting as cops at the time, simply people wanting a deal acting as vigilantes.
