‘Blackballed’ Mountie says colleagues interfered

http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/black-balled-mountie-says-fellow-officers-interfered-with-his-investigation/


Mounties have sunk to shocking depths in the past to make unloved colleagues feel miserable—that much we knew. But messing with a fellow officer’s investigation? To settle personal scores?

Surely, that’s an ethical bridge too far. For any cop.

Alas, it’s precisely the scenario that arose Wednesday during a civil trial in Newmarket, Ont., where Sgt. Peter Merrifield, a 17-year veteran of the RCMP, has been unspooling a saga of alleged harassment and ostracism he believes was intended to drive him out of Canada’s iconic police force.

...and a gun-totin', law and order type by profession. Do you think his colleagues thought he was too far out there...?? Do you think the mounties actually have a standard of conduct...????
