RCMP Officer Docked 1 week's pay
sufficient?
Too much?
Too little?
What about the supervising officer?

Wow.
I think he should be fired for that. And his supervisor too.

Quote:
RCMP Const. Kevin Theriault took an intoxicated woman he had arrested out of a cell and drove her to his northern Manitoba home to pursue a personal relationship
Fellow officers teased and goaded him by text message to see “how far he would go,” and another constable observed flirting between Theriault and the indigenous woman, saying he “jokingly made a comment about having a threesome” with her.
The senior officer in the detachment first said “it wasn’t right” for Theriault to take the woman out of custody but finally said: “You arrested her, you can do whatever the f--k you want to do.”
The constable admitted to the allegations, got a reprimand and lost pay for seven days.

Yeah...thats not how it works.

follow up question:
If you believe the 7 days was not enough, do you lose more confidence in police from a police brutality case or in a situation where there is a lack of accountability/consequence imposed by the RCMP brass for an admittedly (by the constable) wrong act

Based on the article it doesn't sound as though a sexual act was committed.

We're starting to look like the US with the slap on the wrist for a gross misuse of policing power, what a joke

What would be your preferred apporach?
TO be clear, I am disgusted by this act and by the "punishment".

Considering the library of complaints against the RCMP in the last decade for sexual assault, harassment and misconduct, I would like to see strong civilian oversight of the RCMP and an audit on the effectiveness of the force as a nation wide law enforcement organization.
I would start with something that wasn't an embarrassing joke of a punishment like 1 week without pay that would otherwise land a regular citizen in jail. Like, maybe fire the guy and charge him for what would otherwise be a serious crime for anyone not wearing a badge.

Sorry I wasn't clear Flash, I meant the investigation portion.
We both agree that the punishment is not acceptable or correct considering the actions of the Cst.
I am not sure that a purely civie oversight is the best approach, but it should include a civie component. Perhaps, a mix of civilian, police (perhaps other EMS), judicial individuals.
Now to be clear I don't have a great understanding of the current approach the RCMP has, but if this is the result, it appears to be "broken".
