One of them has a long history of things he is still being paid for. One of them is the
guy who hit the motorcyclist with his kids in the car and went home to drop his kids off
and of course have a drink, can you believe it? Whatever

That would be Monte Robinson, the a$$hole even looks like a thug, but too bad the courts aren't allowed to take things like that into consideration. :lol::lol:

And this is not the latest scandal - the class action suit by female Mounties is the latest one. I've lost all respect for that institution.

These kinds of jerks are found in all walks of life. Can't condemn the majority because of a few A$$holes.

There are certainly jerks everywhere, but when jerks who are the only ones legally allowed to carry firearms for defense of self, and legally hold the power of liberty over the citizenry, I see a major flaw. We're long past the concept of police serving at the pleasure of the people, our freedom seems to be subject to the pleasure of the police.

The job does seem to attract a certain type of personality. Not all exhibit this trait, but given the power and authority they have, it is cause for concern.

You've got all that right, Bob. And THAT is an excellent reason why cops who are suspected or found committing felonies should proceed through the court process at a faster pace than John Doe. Not only should they uphold the law they should be seen being forced to uphold the law. :smile:

Get yourself a taser and if you see cops breaking the law and getting out of hand zap the **** out of them. Reasonable force which apparently includes torture weapons like tasers to ensure your safety and the safety of others isn't a special privilege that only cops have. The Charter says that only The Lord our God is the ruler of all Canadian, space, time and dimensions and you and I have the #2 spot. It's our duty in the #2 spot to taser cops who are assholes. You are not being a true Charter upholding Canadian if your not tasering asshole law breaking cops.

Guess what Einstein? How credible do you think a person is who has had experience with every single Canadian Cop?

The reason everything gets dragged out now is to let it slip under the rug and
nothing happens. I think there should be a day of reckoning for these people
like anyone else. It should come with the responsibility for the crime, and the
circumstances of where we are now at some future point. For serious stuff,
kike Dziekanski, the trial should have been two fold. The first being the
evidence of what happened on the job. They should have been fired and the
trial held in an orderly fashion, and sometime in
2012 is good enough. 2013 is not acceptable.
All police are not to blame, any more than say all contractors cut corners to make
more money, that is not a fair description either. The problem with the force is
it tried to be too many things to all people.. We have a force with some weird
people in uniform, bullies, wife beaters, thieves, and even a couple of drug
dealers. Now we have alleged killers as well. Oh I forgot sexual deviates as
well. Luck we didn't let the clergy in on mass eh?
The force needs to be over hauled from the top down and its role clearly defined.
The acceptance levels and what criteria is should be clearly spelled out and its
not. The problem is not the police, it is the leadership and those who trained
them, who did not see the misfits and weed them out.

The RCMP ought to go back to its rural roots. People from the big city don't want to work for it. People from Vancouver aren't much keen in working in nrothern Manitoba, they want to work for the Vancouver PD and live in town. As for urban white collar crime, the RCMP is nowhere. Billions go wasted here.
