That's one of the worst written stories I've ever seen in a newspaper.

They FAIL to label the pictures, so we have no idea who is who. They leave you wondering if Gregson still is, or only was an RCMP officer. The whole article posed more questions than it answered.

I thought the big, bold text on the suspect's image would be a sarcastic, but appropriate touch.

My bad, I just posted the first story i read. Here are a couple more with further info. To answer your question Dust, Gregson was still an RCMP officer who was on unpaid suspension and dismissed from the force, but he appealed his dismissal and therefore, technically, is still an RCMP officer.

I was more interested in the actions of the paramedics than the current employment status of the attacker. Once a cop, always a cop.
