The RCMP officer who ordered that Robert Dziekanski be jolted with a police Taser gun denies fabricating his story or lying under oath before the inquiry into the Polish immigrant’s death.

RCMP Cpl. Benjamin Robinson concluded three days of testimony before the Braidwood Commission Wednesday, much of it spent sparring with lawyers for Dziekanski’s mother and the Polish government.

“I’ve been telling the truth,” Robinson insisted as his testimony came to an end.

Lawyer Don Rosenbloom has seized on what he calls “consistencies in errors” involving the four officers who confronted Dziekanski before his death Oct. 14, 2007 at Vancouver International Airport.

Some, but not all, admitted to similar errors in describing Dziekanski’s behaviour: Whether he swung his stapler up high before he was hit by the Taser weapon, as Robinson and another officer had testified; or whether RCMP officers had to “wrestle” Dziekanski to the ground, as all the officers claimed but later retracted during the inquiry.

The similarities, Rosenbloom suggested, couldn’t have been a coincidence.

“You and your fellow officers collaborated to fabricate your story in the expectation it would justify your conduct,” Rosenbloom said.

“I deny that,” Robinson answered.

Speaking with reporters after Wednesday testimony, Rosenbloom continued to focus on what he saw as the officers’ “inconsistencies.”

“You have these inconsistencies that are spoken by all four officers,” he said. “They claim that they never spoke to each other, yet … [they] all make the same mistakes.

“There are two many inconsistencies and they are all making the same errors about the events.”

Robinson and his lawyer left court Wednesday afternoon without speaking to reporters.

But while Robinson has admitted to mistakes in his original police statement, he has insisted Dziekanski still posed a risk to officers and the public that morning.

“I see somebody who is about to attack,” he told Rosenbloom when taken through widely seen video of the incident Wednesday.

The RCMP have sent a spokesperson to listen to testimony and respond to media questions during the inquiry.

But although RCMP Cpl. Peter Thiessen acknowledged “concerns” about officer mistakes in their statements, he said the force in B.C. would not make comments about the officers’ actions until after the inquiry’s conclusion.

But representatives from the Polish-Canadian community have been raising their voices as the inquiry progresses.

Zygmunt Riddle says he has started a Facebook petition, with 10,000 members, urging B.C. Attorney-General Wally Oppal to review a decision not to lay criminal charges against the officers involved.

And Jurek Baltakis, a Polish-Canadian from Kamloops and friend of Dziekanski’s mother, wants a special prosecutor appointed to reconsider charges.

“We don't believe the RCMP can [do it],” he said.

“We strongly believe the investigation was deficient and focused only on finding the evidence against Mr. Dziekanski, to blame the victim.”

The inquiry continues.
