The QPP and the Montreal cops were all corrupt back when I was growing up. It seems to be rampant in all forces. I guess we are stuck with the RCMP. They really do need a civilian oversight committee and review panel. Listening to the local talk in the coffee shop yesterday, I hear a general contempt for cops and their behaviour over the past decade or so.

I have no love for the QPP/Cirque du Quebec.
Despite our involvement with the previously mentioned forces, I was tought to trust and respect the uniform, until the man behind one, proved unworthy.
My father didn't believe in taking unnecessary chances. But he had some run ins with the previous BC provincial police.
I agree. Trusting the uniform is nothing more than trusting what the uniform is "supposed" to stand for. I've seen very little evidence that the current crop in uniform share the same ideal as the majority of society. I can't speak for the rest of the country but I believe things changed in a hurry here in Alberta when King Ralph changed the process of funding the police which eventually led to the police becoming nothing more than really expensive tax collectors.
Most cops in BC I've noticed are pretty decent folks. And I've met a large number through my job and also aside from my job. That includes RCMP and municipal cops. We have no Cirque du BC. lol
