It is a bizarre story to be sure, and I was the one who shared it with the OP.
I will say this, it is always unfortunate when one act defines a career, but with the situations officers would face on a daily basis, judgement has to be a strong suit.
On this day, for this dude, it was anything but. I hope he lands on his feet somewhere, but not on a police force.

If my suspicion is correct....
The issue would be that he shot his vehicle.
This would be near impossible to hide from superiors outside of the district, and from the public that keeps an eye on the RCMP.
Rather than trying to cover up the whole event, which if it then became public knowledge would create an even bigger scandal, this officer was thrown on the sword.
Not long ago, the RCMP harvesting food for the Indians was a common practice, a duty according to the Treaties. I'm sure it still occurs today in remote communities, off the books and out of sight.
