If Taser e-mail is true, officers lied through their teeth BY IAN MULGREW, CANWEST NEWS SERVICEJUNE 20, 2009 The Braidwood Inquiry into the death of Robert Dziekanski after he was Tasered by police five times has been blown up and left in ruins by the revelation a key RCMP e-mail was withheld from the commission. After months of outrage about the conduct of the four Mounties who responded to Vancouver airport Oct. 14, 2007, who can believe that at the last minute, a federal lawyer would produce what many would consider a smoking gun - an e-mail saying the officers decided to use the Taser before confronting the Polish immigrant? If true, the Nov. 5, 2007, e-mail titled Media strategy - release of the YVR video, from RCMP chief Supt. Dick Bent to assistant commissioner Al McIntyre, establishes the four have been lying through their teeth. This critical document suggests the four officers committed perjury and that senior officers sat silent while they did so. All too often, people are convicted by the press, and not by a jury. Then when/if they are not convicted they have no life, no reputation and the Press goes on to crucify someone else. Take Michael jackson, who millions of people believe was a pedophile, although in law he remains innocent. His money and his fame may have made him a target, that he was never found guilty, makes his innocence under our system irrefutable, except it isn't. Anyone who believes in our system should not make a decision based on reports in the press. they are in the selling news business. And this is not a piece presenting the facts for us to make our own decisions, but rather an opinion piece written more to sell newspapers and inflame the readers than it is to present simple facts.
