TIME TO REVIEW THE NATION'S 'BIGGEST GANG'

Re: Appeal Dropped Against Grow-op Gang:

For decades we keep getting the PR machine telling us the redcoats are so
wonderful, such a "tradition."

In reality, what we have is Dudley Do-wrong.

"Police also manipulated court documents, arrested people without grounds
and failed to follow established rules for processing the accused after
arrest."

Is anyone actually surprised by this?

The more we hear about the RCMP, the more we hear about bending or
breaking of rules, all in the name of "Justice."

It is obscene.

If they will bend and break rules on one case, they are probably doing it
on all of them.

How many more episodes of brutality, scandal, lying, cajoling, bullying,
wrongdoing and balderdash do Canadians have to live with before we disband
this gang of rogues?

How many more lives do the Horsemen have to ruin (or end) before we put
them out to pasture?

There is no hope.

The RCMP have become a greater threat to civil rights and liberties,
public safety, and democracy than all the "terrorists" and "criminals"
they are supposed to be fighting.

Cops are fond of quipping: "WE are the biggest gang."

Indeed.
