lily Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'm waiting for Jeff Klassen to face his charges. I don't think he'll get off so lightly. But the West Van cop didn't get off lightly. It's a first offense; he'll likely lose his job over it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
