Three Lower Mainland police officers arrested in downtown Vancouver
 

wow funny how cops keeping the rules straight rob other people

I heard this on the news today... stupid cops. It was funny how they said it on the radio: "there was a beating in downtown Vancouver today and 3 police officers are now in custody"

WAT?

Vancouver Police say the officers--from West Vancouver, New Westminster and Delta--were arrested at the scene for assault and robbery after an altercation with a 47 year old Surrey man delivering newspapers. The victim was not seriously hurt.


WTF?

haha wtf.. can't even trust the police n e more

serves them right. too many cops think the laws don't apply to them.

i bet they'll just be suspended with pay and then back on duty.

lets hope not. everyone keep a close eye on this one

bad cops are everywhere......

Sucks that the bad cops get all the publicity, and people forget about all the good cops out there

tru dat.... it only takes a few idiots to ruin it for all of 'em.
too bad really....

yup, where i used to work, cops came in everytime. especially in the neighborhood i was working in. most of them are really nice guys

The cops must really want that newspaper :thumbsup:

^lol

but srysly i wish he report was more detailed about the 'altercation'

First, the members will be on adminstrative desk duty until further notice.
Then , they will go on suspended leave with pay.
Then , they will go on stress leave.

Once charges ( if there are any ) are laid, or once an inquiry is to be held, the officers will resign.

And not once, will the members talk to the public.

Pretty standard protocol.

meh, cops are people and as such are subject to the flaws of humanity as well.

agreed with volvo.... cops get too much bonuses and when they do shit wrong it's a slap on the wrist and off they go.

But they are held to a higher standard in the court of law as they are in a position of power. Thus, while subject to similar flaws of our society, they represent the law and standard we are told to abide, so if their is a miscarry of justice on their behalf then the power of the law enforcement seems less effective.

At least they didn't shoot him in the back.

some cops r nice but some abuse their powers

The 3 officers have now been released from custody. No charges have been laid at this point.

as expected

happens a lot, except they usually rob dealers, i remember seeing a bicycle cop grab a dealers bag of pot and started rolling a joint and then rode off with all of it

The 38 year old New Westminster Police officer will have his suspension reviewed in 30 days. The New Westminster Police Service Professional Standards section continues their investigation and has advised the Police Complaints Commission of this action.

The three off-duty officers were arrested by Vancouver Police early yesterday morning (2:30 am) in relation to an assault and robbery of a 47 year old newspaper delivery driver from Surrey. The incident took place on Burrard Street, near Georgia.

Constable Sharlene Brooks of Delta Police says their member involved is a 28 year old man with three years of service. They are waiting for more information before deciding if the officer will receive any disciplinary measures. West Vancouver Police say their officer is a junior member who joined the force in 2007.

Heard about this a couple of hours ago.

I am hoping that there will be charges. Their conduct is completely unacceptable.

nothing new
