RCMP officer denies 'cooking up' a story with fellow officers about why Rober Dziekanski was tasered at airport on Oct. 14. Officer Kwesi Millington admits he was wrong for tasering polish imigrant, Robert Dziekanski five times.

Don Rosebloom, lawyer for Polish imagrant directly challened Millington saying, "you and your fellow officers collaborated to fabricate your story with an explanation that would justify your conduct to your superiors. Do you deny that?"

Millington replied: "We acted according to our training and we did act in a prudent fashion, and I never intended the result (Dziekanski's death)."

Dziekanski died after being tasered and subducted by the mounties.

Rosenbloom charged the officers with lieing under oath and also said "you were fast at work at the scene cooking up your story and it continued back at the detachment."

Although, Millington said that never happened.

Comissioner Tom Briadwood asked for Rosenbloom to be more straight forward by than saying "your asking if they go together and faked it?"

"You and your officers made some terrible and critical mistakes," said Rosenbloom.

Millington denied that, and said "We acted in accordance to our training and we did act in a prudent fashion."

RCMP admit to their wrong but also said they found Dzierkanski in the airport throwing tables and that's why they made their first move.
