Update
'A Kamloops (British Columbia) RCMP constable will spend the next 12 months on probation after losing his cool in the midst of a chaotic scene, ripping a cellphone from the hands of a woman...and then chasing her down and tackling her."
Mountie's behavior uncharacteristic.
"Ching-McNamee filed a number of character letters, including one from an outreach worker at The Mustard Seed who praised Tucker’s “calm, compassionate demeanour” when dealing with vulnerable people on the street.
A handful of the letters were from Tucker’s co-workers, including two from his supervisors. They both mentioned an incident in May of 2023 in which Tucker pulled a suicidal man to safety on the Overlanders Bridge. He was credited with directly saving the man's life.
Tucker was recognized with a detachment commander award earlier this year in connection with that incident.
