just to prove my point . This is all very easy info to find how ever I am the bad guy for saying what I did lol. I have also personally seen and heard things that make me say what I did. I am not looking to argue with people on my personal thoughts about the RCMP. I will also say though that not all RCMP are bad and some are really good people.

Disgusting' holiday arrest
A police officer slammed an intoxicated man into the hood of a parked car hard enough to leave a substantial dent Friday night, during an arrest a local pastor called the “most disgusting act of police violence” she has witnessed first hand.

RCMP CORRUPTION
http://rcmpcorruption.blogspot.ca/


•Cst. Steve Conlon was found guilt of assault in relation to an incident in Rutland, BC in February of 2009 in assaulting a pregnant woman after unlawfully entering her home. Cst. Kent Hall was found guilty of careless use of a firearm during that same incident.

•Kelowna Cst. Chris Brinnen was convicted of assault in February 2012. The judge in the case ruled Brinnen used excessive force in trying to apprehend Nelson on that evening. He stated the constable 'operated too fast, went too far and there were other reasonable options available.' She ruled Brinnen did not strike Nelson in self-defence as he claimed.

A recent report has revealed the RCMP has had hundreds of instances in corruption - this is corruption not just wrongdoing as those instances number in the thousands.

An internal RCMP study found 322 incidents of corruption within the national police force over an 11-year period — including a dozen examples involving organized crime.

Geez, should we look up the crimes of the politicians in this country? I don't think that Castanet has the capacity to store the long list of wrong doings by individuals in that group.

While we are at it, lets select another profession with a high profile and list all their individuals with their wrong doing accusations. Let's start with Catholic priests, how about Indian tribal leaders, Muslims and Jews? Let's not forget the Mennonites, Hutterites, Polygamists, fire fighters and ambulance attendants.

Why just sensationalize one group?

Perhaps those that have had a negative, personal, direct, interaction, with the police, are the ones that are the most likely to publicly reprimand those that were just doing their job?

We can look up what ever you would like. I posted this because I made a comment and was called out on it. Well this is my answer to why I feel the way I do. What I love is how people jump all over people on the castanet fourm for expressing the way they feel :).

Using any news story you see today, put together you FOI as to why you personally should get a copy of the POLICE report on a open investigation. You my friend will be wasting time and effort, you won't get a thing.

Sorry...wrong answer.

Your examples are all very valid points. Look at it from another perspective and I'll remain local. For every arrest Jeff Mantler the idiot made where he used excessive force, he himself likely made we will say ten that were in his scope of ability.

In saying that for every arrest he made, there were likely 100 other arrests that ended without breaching ones right, without breaking the law, and without a public complaint. So to paint all police officers with the dirty brush you have is not true or real.

This would be no different than saying all motorcycle owners are members of a organized crime gang. It just isn't so.

That is why I think you have to look at Police like any other group you select. 1% of teens need a kick in the butt, 1% of Teachers, COPS, Lawyer or who ever should not have selected that occupation and should be given a boot too!!
