We all have our own past, history, Map of Reality based on our life experiences, culture, religion, education, moral and ethical guidelines. Yet I wonder if people who are on that slippery slope can they be saved if challenged and given better direction? We all have free thought and the ability to make a decision yet somewhere the right and wrong buttons get crossed the legal and illegal lines are blurred or non existent. Why?
“A former Kamloops police officer has been charged with three counts of cocaine trafficking — with allegations she was selling the drugs while still employed as a Mountie. Randi Love, who has since retired from the RCMP, is accused of dealing cocaine on three occasions last June, while still a member of the national police force.”
“This is not the first time Love has found herself at the centre of a criminal proceeding. In 2013, she was a key witness for the Crown in the fraud trial of her ex-boyfriend, disgraced RCMP Const. Trent Wessner. Wessner was convicted, based largely on Love’s testimony, of bilking Costco out of $400 after ordering home-theatre equipment and claiming it was never delivered.”
Is there something wrong with the hiring process and the people meant to uphold the law. Could these two officers have been saved from their own behaviour at some point when crossing the ethical and legal line? I wonder. Either way we are all accountable for our decisions and actions.
