Mounties who helped end Parliament Hill attack

[maryjane48]

Almost a year after MPs gave Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers a standing ovation in the House of Commons for his part in killing Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, the RCMP has still not recognized the four officers who helped take the gunman down.
An un-redacted copy of an OPP investigation obtained by CTV News shows Const. Curtis Barrett, Const. Martin Fraser, Sgt. Rick Rozon and Corp. Dany Daigle helped corner Zehaf-Bibeau in the Centre Block last Oct. 22.
As Zehaf-Bibeau jumped out and shot at the officers, Vickers fell to the ground and began firing, according to the document.

Where are your thoughts on it ?
You simply posted a snip bit and the link without using one word of your own?

i agree with the article that the cops should have been publicly thanked

Sources told CTV’s Parliamentary Bureau Chief Robert Fife the four officers were told two days after the shooting that “the Kevin Vickers train has left the station but you guys will get internal recognition,” including a commissioner’s commendation and recommendation for a Governor General’s Award.That hasn’t happened. Instead, each man has spent time on stress leave.

I believe that this has more to do how the Conservatives wanted to manage the image of this attack. A single hero was needed. Any recognition of the RCMP officers involved would take away the Vickers hero image and put before the public that the death of the attacker was really a multi-person effort.

The fact that these officers were not recognized also indicates how this government values those who put their life on the line, whether in our armed services, coast guard, or the RCMP. Even their simple public recognition may have been enough to reduce the effect of stress resulting from this event. However, giving recognition and thanks to others simply is not on this current government's agenda.
