Hear about this this morning:
http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/11/28/veteran-rcmp-officer-stripped-of-his-uniform-for-publicly-smoking-medical-marijuana-in-his-red-serge/
Apparently there is a video too (I'm at work and can't look for the video).
Wanted to get the opinion of the honourable PS Community (I'm especially hoping anyone in the service (police, military, etc.) will chime in).
What do you think about it? (For those who don't know the RCMP is the canadian equivalent of the FBI)
Personally, I don't hold up service people in any high regard at all. But I think what they did was deplorable. They coulda warned him, accomodated him etc. They went straight to stripping him of his uniform. After 20 years of service. The reason he was using it is because of his job. What he did was not illegal.
