From what I've read it doesn't sound like he used his police powers or abused his police authority as an RCMP to commit this crime. If this happened when he was on duty and he abused his authority then I could see where you are coming from, but as far as I can tell this happened on his off time. So in my mind his punishment and pre-trial treatment is erroneous to the fact that he is a police officer.
