Apparently one of the RCMP officers involved in killing Robert Dziekanski with a tazer in BC got into another bit of trouble.  While off duty he hit a motorcyclist while driving and killed him – all after having consumed a few beers.  He fled the scene to go home and had a few shots of vodka.

Guess what he’s been charged with… the death of the motorcyclist?  Nope.  DUI?  Nope.  Obstruction of justice.

Good job, RCMP.  I hope I never will be, but if I were ever involved in a crash after having been drinking, and especially if someone is hurt or killed, I now know how to get out of it.  I’ll high-tail it home, have a few drinks, and claim it was to settle my nerves after such a stressful event.  Was I drinking beforehand?  Of course not, and you can’t prove it.  We can even reference this case as an example to clear it up quickly.
