Off-duty Cop breaks arm and finger of Taxi driver! Over Road rage

OTTAWA — Ottawa police have confirmed they are investigating the actions of an off-duty officer in an alleged assault at the airport on Monday afternoon, in which an Ottawa Airport taxi driver suffered a broken wrist and index finger.

Sami Aldoboni, 43, said an aggressive male driver in a grey Nissan Xterra SUV tailgated him for nine kilometres as he returned to the airport traveling southbound on the Airport Parkway.

Aldoboni said the man followed him all the way into the taxi drivers’ parking lot a short distance from the terminal and when both men got out of their cars. Aldoboni said the man shouted racial insults at him, shoved him to the ground and proceeded to beat him before other taxi drivers intervened.

Mo Atiya, a 24-year-old driver who was the first to intervene, said the man applied a “tactical arm lock,” which appeared to break Aldoboni’s wrist. Atiya said when he confronted the man he showed him a police ID card.

Staff Sgt. Denis Cleroux, head of the police’s Professional Standards Unit, said his section is looking into what happened, but the results of the investigation won’t be known for some time.

It’s important police “do the right thing,” Cleroux said, by taking all the necessary steps to ensure a complete investigation.

Cleroux said the unit will be interviewing as many witnesses as possible and investigating all aspects of what happened.

“You have to take time to do this right.”

The Special Investigations Unit, the independent civilian body that investigates incidents involving police and civilians whenever serious injury or death occurs, is not currently involved in the investigation. A spokesman for the unit said the SIU only investigate incidents involving off-duty police officers if the officer uses his or her position as a police officer in committing the alleged offence.

A spokesman for Police Chief Vern White said the investigation into the incident will also look at the actions of the on-duty police officers who responded.

Several witnesses to the incident said when police were called, the man showed the first two responding officers what appeared to be an ID card. The officers did not cuff the man, and witnesses said they handed him their pen and notebook and he filled out his own statement.

Witnesses also said the two officers then got in the backseat of the man’s vehicle and he drove away.

The police and the officers’ union said the officer will remain on active duty during the investigation.

And you know what? The cop will not be charged with anything. :thumbsup:

I can see them calling this an "Entirely personal matter" and it not affecting him professionally.

What's with cops hating on the brown people? LOL..this is the second time in recent months

These are the same officers the public is suppose to throw their full trusts on.

i like how he waves his police ID badge after like it's ok to go road rage and sh*t kick ppl he sees fit...it's like his get out of jail for free card

to all the retards who think police violance is warranted, whether or not that guy deserved to get kicked in the head in that other thread. which he probably did but are they suppose to be doing this shit?

plain and simple english for you retards. NO.

to serve and protect ... not to distill fear and inflict pain

^exactly
who does he think he is? Batman??

funny this was brought up
road raged off duty cop threatened to "fix me up" few months back after he sped up to prevent me from changing lanes, and after cutting 3 other people off going at least 20 over the limit on no. 1 highway

(he threatened me when we hit a light on gaglardi)

They should tighten up their entrance requirements/evaluations, and have a lower tolerance for these kinds of things...

letting fucking pigs onto the force, and ruining law enforcements already fragile reputation.

Damn, too bad the other taxi drivers didn't gang up on the pig and stomp him.

he'll get off without charges....

Who the FUCK does that cop think he is? Damn motherfucker shouldn't be on the force doing shit like this.

You guys have to admit though that most cab drivers are fucking pricks and some deserve to get slapped around. I can't count how many times a cabby has tailgated me or cut me off for no reason. And for fuck sakes if you come to this country, respect the laws! Don't fucking speed and drive like it's bloody India. We have lanes in this country and we have speed limits. And no i'm not a racist, i'm East Indian but I hate how some Indian cabbies disobey the laws and drive like maniacs.

some of them pull this shiet even when I'm in the cab with them. Ie. they would turn right on where theres a no turn right sign and cut off other drivers.

on a side note, am I missing out on something here, are they allowed to drive on the HOV lane by themselves or something. Cause I see this happening all the time. cab driver not carrying any passengers and their in the HOV lane on the highway, and the main streets that have HOV lanes during rush hour.

It doesn't matter wether the cabby is a prick, the offduty cop was treated differently.

This proves justice ISN'T blind.

Law FAIL.

It's one thing to drive like an asshole, but it's another thing to be punished unlawfully. The majority of the replies are focused on how the cop is abusing his power and relations with other cops due to his profession (being a cop as well). On a side note, I completely agree with you about them fuckin cab drivers driving like ass-whipes. They go in HOV lanes when they're driving alone, they don't signal when they fucking left turn (hold up tons of traffic), cut infront of other cars, don't yield to bus, driving between 2 lanes, making wide turns, etc. They pretty much brake every traffic law in existence.

this reminds me of that local story where a non-white delivery driver was beaten up by some off-duty cops from different jurisdictions somewhere in vancouver... does anyone know what is going on with that one?

It's fair game if the guy who f'd up doesn't do the "my bad" wave. unwritten rule of the road. we're not on the road to make friends...

get a RHD car. easier to reach across to get at LHD drivers

I've met more douchebag cabbies than douchebag cops on the road.

does anyone know what happened to cause the cop to tail him for 9km? cause that's like a solid 9mins going 60/hr.

Abusing the authority
