So we all saw the disgusting video footage that emerged in the aftermath of the international incident that saw 4 RCMP officers from Vancouver, taser a Polish immigrant to death. The immigrant was lost in the madness that is the Immigration process for new landed immigrants arriving at Vancouver Airport. For weeks we heard from RCMP (before the video circulated) about the events that lead up to the death of the immigrant. THEN we found out a witness had pulled his camera phone and taped the entire thing... and low and behold the RCMP had 'confiscated' the video. After a lengthy court procedure, the witness got his video back...and we all got to see the truth about what happened, and it was a very different story to what the lying corrupt cover up artists at the RCMP told us all...
The 2 points i want to make on this issue are:
#1. I blame 2 organizations, the RCMP for their blatent abuse of power, and the four officers responsible for the murder of that poor man. And I also blame CANADA BORDER services, for their ass ended immigration process, which is unclear, and involves waiting in lines for hours only to spend 5 minutes with some moron who stamps your papers (I HAVE PERSONALLY BEEN THRU THE PROCESS) and obviously, the level of communication and information sharing is fcked up as well.
#2 What the fuck is up with the lies and BS the RCMP spun us. If it weren't for this video, no one would know the truth about this incident, how many other stories of police abuse have gone untold because no one happened to be standing around with a camera phone, bottom line - we can no longer trust the police.
