A Durham regional police officer has been charged with failing to provide the necessaries of life following an investigation into an incident that took place in March.

Information is limited - and likely to remain that way given the recalcitrance of police when it comes to their own.

Right now all of the news outlets are running the same wire service article, but hopefully a journalist digs in farther.

    … allegedly failed to render medical assistance or first aid to a person in distress

    Distressed, as in, bleeding out? Or distressed, as in, having a tantrum?

    The individual was left in the care of a family member who later sought medical attention, police say. They were later transported to the hospital and subsequently released.

    Later sought medical attention… patient was subsequently released… to me, this doesn’t sound like they were in some kind of urgent, life-threatening danger.

    Could the news not be less vague about what happened? It would change the entire content of the headline.
