Kelowna cops double standard

Cst. Mantler kicking Buddy in the face.  No jail time !  Sgt. Wlodarczak of the RCMP beat his estranged wife, sent her to the hospital, plead guilty  and received a Conditional Sentence!!??  The Sgt. never lost any pay and to this day he is working as a Sgt. in Kelowna. 

Cst. Geoff Mantler of the Kelowna RCMP has been suspended without pay following a recommendation from 'E' Division, the BC branch of the RCMP. The rationale to take Mantler off the payroll came because the allegations of misconduct involving assault charges are deemed to be serious enough, according to the head of the Kelowna detachment.

Kelowna RCMP Staff Sergeant Owen Wlodarczak punched his wife in the face 8 times brutally and then stuck his service pistol to her head, all while his children watched in horror.  Beating your spouse is not deemed serious enough to be taken off the payroll with the RCMP ?????   At no time did Wlodarczak loose any pay from the RCMP !!! ????

The RCMP are suggesting, by these two separate assault charges that it is OK to beat your spouse, but don't ever assault an alleged suspect !!!!  The RCMP has double standards!
