Vancouver: The BC RCMP division has closed another high profile case today, without leaving the office. The well publicized case involved the theft of nearly $6.48 from office desks and drawers in the provincial RCMP Head quarters over a period of 9 months. The case involved dozens of man hours and an elaborate sting operation, where the suspect was finally caught in the act removing lose change from a colleagues desk in order to purchase snacks from a vending machine. A raid on the suspects home revealed several marked Canadian Quarters, and a single US Quarter along with Mars, Snickers, M&Ms and other confectionery - which the suspect has been unable to explain. The operation involved the Vancouver Police Department and several special forensic agents. VDP Police Chief Spokesman Jim Chu commented earlier "It's a great day for the people of BC who have been looking for closure on this heinous crime"

RCMP Plan new training program "How to safely kick suspects in the head"

Vancouver BC: The RCMP is reviewing its cadet training and induction programs, specifically the module which focuses on kicking civilians in the face while they are on the ground. Kelowna RCMP superintendent Bill McKinnon has said "we've all seen the footage, and I think the question is, was the officer involved properly trained in the skill of apply pressure to the face, and frontal lobe area safely?" He went on to say "we are going to review and thoroughly audit chapter 3 of the RCMP Guide to Better Policing which specifically outlines safe manners in which a mountie can kick a person in the head while they are on the ground."

As an added precaution, mounties across the province will also each be issued with A Dummies Guide to Subtle Police Brutality. The text will help mounties understand basics, like looking around for a camera before committing serious assault on citizens, destroying evidence after the fact and ways to inflict abuse without any letting any signs of physical harm become visible. "Clearly, this mountie ignored all the basics in this engagement" McKinnon concluded.

The only thing to fear....is the police themselves.

Canadian police, in particular BC police have come under fire recently for everything from killing immigrants at the airport, driving DUI and killing other motorists, beating up newspaper delivery men while drunk, and recently beating up kids on the street in plain view of everyone. they have a reputation for corruption, protecting themselves, covering their own asses and a complete lack of respect for the law. it's little wonder none of us feel safe whether it's the RCMP or the municipal officers, you really want to hope that someone has a camera handy when ever you come into contact with one of these animals.

obviously the recruiting is the major problem. if you are attracting morons, who are nothing but power monkeys who get off on authority and carrying a gun, then this is exactly what you are going to see. it's only now with the advent of cell phone cameras, youtube and the web that these idiots are being held accountable. i blogged about corporal monty benjamin, perhaps the RCMP's leading agent of death, but it seems the problem is rampant and systematic.
