Gerry Rundel: Gerry Rundel has filed a statement of claim in British Columbia Supreme Court naming the Attorney General of Canada and B.C. minister of justice as defendants, according to Vancouver Observer. The document alleges he was made a "scapegoat" after Dziekanski was repeatedly stunned with a Taser and died at the airport in October 2007."It was a direct and foreseeable consequence of the negligent conduct of the RCMP and members of the RCMP, either individually or in combination, that the plaintiff would sustain severe psychological and resultant physical damage," says the 19-page document filed in a Nanaimo court. Const. None of the allegations have been proven and no statements of defence have been filed.A spokesperson for the provincial ministry of justice declined to comment on the case, saying the ministry has not yet been served and has not seen the allegations contained in the notice of civil claim. Information released by the RCMP after the death was incorrect and mismanaged, the claim alleges, stoking public criticism of the four officers who responded in the Dziekanski case."His name and image are well known to the public and associated with highly critical comments about him made by the RCMP," the court document alleges. The Attorney General of Canada could not be reached for comment.
