In the past, I have accused the RCMP of being a criminal, KGB-like organization populated by brutal thugs who should be relieved of all duties except entertaining tourists. But recent events have caused me to reconsider these inflammatory statements. They should not be allowed anywhere near tourists.
On October 14, in cold blood, they murdered a Polish immigrant who was looking for customer service for ten hours. I don’t know what the worst thing about this story is: That his mother saved for seven years to bring him to Canada; That he never saw said mother before being murdered; Or that an Eastern European found the Canadian bureaucracy insurmountable and its “police” murderous.
I’ve watched the video. They should not have acted in the way they did. There is no excuse for it. And it’s too bad that we can no longer call these things isolated incidents. There is a serious problem with the RCMP. As usual, they lied to cover this up and they’re still lying now. They will never stop. They will just get worse.
The next time an RCMP officer is shot dead — I will be cheering. Any one of their officers who had an ounce of integrity would have resigned by now. They are a national shame.

It just gets worse – his last words were thanking them because he thought they were there to help. The RCMP is fucked.

I will protest the trial of any person suspected of killing an RCMP officer. The YVR case (among others) sets precedent that first-degree homicide is no longer an arrestable offence.
