Oh, thank goodness they are getting paid during their suspension. I'd hate for them not to have a paid vacation. Wtf
... allegedly failed to render medical assistance or first aid to a person in distress
Distressed, as in, bleeding out? Or distressed, as in, having a tantrum?
The individual was left in the care of a family member who later sought medical attention, police say. They were later transported to the hospital and subsequently released.
Later sought medical attention... patient was subsequently released... to me, this doesn't sound like they were in some kind of urgent, life-threatening danger.
Could the news not be less vague about what happened? It would change the entire content of the headline.
For a cop to be openly punished at all in Ontario is a remarkable circumstance. A cop can lie to five judges a day under oath and the most those courts and judges can collectively do about it is report the incident to the cop's manager.
Distressed as in apparently needing an intervention to prevent risk of injury or loss of life.
Later could mean as soon as they were no longer detained. Subsequently released could mean a week or more later. But you're choosing to interpret it as trivial to fit a particular interpretation, but that interpretation requires you to read in to the text.
It could well be that the hospital said, "You're fine, go home;" but if the perception existed at the time the cop was involved that there is risk of harm (EVEN IF THAT HARM IS LATER FOUND TO NOT HAVE EXISTED) it is still a failure to provide life-saving aid.
I mean, yeah, it's all speculation. The report leaves us with more questions than answers, but you are right that a cop being punished is pretty extraordinary!
Is he soorey?
Oh look, another cop being "punished" with a paid vacation.
ACAB
