Bill Bentley and B.C. Supreme Court

Robert Dziekanski: Bill Bentley has filed a notice of civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court naming the Attorney General of Canada and B.C. justice minister as defendants, according to Metro News. Bentley was one of four officers who confronted Robert Dziekanski at the airport in October 2007, when the man was stunned with a Taser and died. Const. Court documents from the lawsuit allege that Bentley received a call of support from the commissioner of the RCMP shortly after the incident, but the force support quickly waned. Allegations in the documents have not been proven in court and statements of defence have not been filed. The notice of claim alleges the RCMP mismanaged information in the case, creating public perception of wrongdoing by the officers, and that Bentley was made a "scapegoat" for public criticism."Throughout the ordeal ... the plaintiff has been a loyal member of the RCMP and has been prevented from publicly defending himself to the wrongful allegations about him by both the RCMP and the media as a result of his oaths and orders received from superior officers," the claim states.
