RCMPerjury

[Wannadance]

Canada's finest...liars under oath. The judge got it right. I couldn't believe Bentley was acquitted. It doesn't look good for his appeal though.

At one time, the RCMP were golden. Over the decades their reputation has degraded significantly. Given how many of the female Constables etc. have been treated over the years, it makes me realize that if they'll treat each other that way; they'll have no problem treating "civilians" worse. The trust in the police (RCMP and city/provincial) is almost non-existent is parts of Canada. I don't feel comfortable when they are around. They don't make me feel safe at all. And, yes if I needed them I would call them, but as a last resort.

Watching the inquest was shocking.
Watching all four of them repeatedly lie to cover each other's ass was disturbing.
The video would clearly show one of them pressing down on the murder victim's neck. When the inquiry lawyer said did you have your knee on his neck, the same constable said no...wtf it is right there on the video!

Do not forget the RCMP seized that tape! They only released it after a huge public outcry.

Paulson, the now head of the RCMP, did not want to give it up!

It is sad because my best friend's dads were an RCMP inspector and superintendant, and they were both absolutely honest guys. I was a troubled kid and one of them straightened me out. I don't know where the rot set in, most say it was Norm Inkster. Him and Mulroney really started the constant political micromanagement. Under Harper, with the recent bunch of suckholes as Commisioners, the force is totally fucked.

Him and Mulroney really started the constant political micromanagement.

Remember, Bulroney got away with his bribery because his friendly RCMPigs lost the evidence.

I think this is a reflection of the times we live in, more than any one institution or profession.

We must guard against throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Corruption is hardly unique to the RCMP in modern times, unacceptable yes, unique no.

I'm sure the good ones aren't exactly happy about the reputation they have, but what can they do? They have to rely on each other so "ratting out" a fellow constable could make their life on the force pretty hard and can impact their career. So change is not exactly encouraged.
I've met some good cops, but that was literally 30 years ago. Most of the ones I have spoken with at roadblocks and traffic stops just seem to have an attitude. It's like they think you've done something wrong beyond what they are speaking to you about and are trying to find out what it is.
The standard question at a roadblock seems to be: "How much have you had to drink tonight?" It used to be: "Have you had anything to drink this evening?"
I don't hate them and I'm not anti-police, if they weren't doing their jobs it would be anarchy, but the way they approach and interact with the public is getting more accusatory and aggressive. After a while you just don't want to deal with them. I wonder if they are aware that they are making their jobs harder? There are some people who won't have anything to do with them, even if they knew about a crime.

The only people who haven't figured out that cops lie all the time are people the cops haven't chosen to screw over yet.
