If the RCMP is outstanding at anything, it’s their ability to deny all wrongdoing in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The RCMP Hall of Shame is filled with examples of bad cops being protected by RCMP supervisors, usually until video evidence arrives and forces them to abandon their coverups. Robert Dziekanski and Buddy Tavares are two high-profile examples … [Read more...]
Brian Sauvé, Head of Police Union, Opposes Public Inquiry into Nova Scotia Murders
Brian Sauvé, president of the union representing front-line RCMP constables, publicly opposes an inquiry into the RCMP's handling of the Nova Scotia murders on April 18th and 19th, 2020. This stance is moronic… yet it’s also wholly predictable. I am appalled to read Brian Sauvé’s claim that an inquiry can only hurt front-line RCMP members. “Members on the street wear … [Read more...]
Priceless: Travis Bader’s Letter of Apology From the RCMP
In early February I had the pleasure of interviewing Travis Bader, founder and owner of Silvercore Advanced Training Systems, at his offices in Ladner, BC. It's an interview I've wanted to conduct for many years so it was a real treat to finally have the opportunity to sit down and speak with him in person. While I wrote extensively about Bader's case and the RCMP corruption … [Read more...]
Policy on Storing RCMP-Issue Guns Released – Finally
On April 10, 2019, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said the RCMP must do a better job responding to Access to Information Requests. I found Goodale’s comments amusing, as I’ve been waiting over 8 months for the RCMP to respond to one of my requests. I filed my original ATIP for the RCMP policy on storing RCMP-issue firearms in unattended vehicles on August 20, 2018. Two … [Read more...]
For RCMP Only: Steal 6 Handguns and get Conditional Discharge
Imagine that you, mere citizen, managed to get your hands on 6 handguns and as part of your job you are to destroy them. You don't fulfill your job requirements for reasons the world will never know and take the handguns home. Eventually (7 years later!) you are caught with these 6 stolen handguns. Were you a mere citizen instead of a former RCMP member you would be in … [Read more...]
Monty Robinson Sentenced to Prison? It’s a MIRACLE!
I’m here in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, for Jane Gaffin’s Celebration of Life event (more on that later) and much to my shock and surprise Allen Carlos tells me that one of the cops who killed Robert Dziekanski was sentenced to prison time for perjury. I wracked my brain to remember who had gone on trial so far in this endless debacle. The first cop was acquitted although I … [Read more...]
RCMP Hypocrisy: Reporting Sex Offender Names Except When Sex Offender is an RCMP Member
The RCMP has a long history of hypocrisy when it comes to dealing with sex offenders wearing Red Serge. If the sex offender is an RCMP member his name will NOT be released to the press and every possible measure is taken to protect his identity. Such is the case once more, this time in Manitoba, as a 26-year RCMP veteran faces charges of sexual assault and sexual … [Read more...]
The Civilian Range Project – An Idea Whose Time Is NOW
Back in 2009, when we were fighting for the passage of Bill C-301, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police came out in favour of the bill and against civilian gun owners. Many gun owners were displeased with that attitude of distrust for Canada’s most law-abiding citizens. We looked for a solution. After pondering what we could do about their antics a few innovative … [Read more...]
Is Nanaimo RCMP Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong a complete idiot?
Is Nanaimo RCMP Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong a complete idiot or just thoroughly ignorant of the laws she supposedly enforces? I honestly don’t know what else you can say about a so-called "police officer" who has absolutely no idea of what she speaks. I also can’t fathom how moronic [alleged] reporter Darrell Bellaart must be that he refused to do the most basic fact-checking … [Read more...]
RCMP Anti-Bullying Initiative is Ill-Timed and Thoroughly Misguided
While the RCMP promoted Pink Shirt Day as a way of stopping bullying in schools, the horsemen took to bullying some of Canada’s best and most law-abiding citizens: gun owners. In true hypocritical fashion, the Boys with the Yellow Stripes did precisely as they pleased and with zero regard for the people they bullied into criminals. RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson’s … [Read more...]
The RCMP Hates Only One Thing More Than Firearms: Firearm Owners
The priorities of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are screwed up. You may think tracking down child pornographers might be a bigger priority for RCMP investigators but I suspect you would be wrong. The RCMP seems far more intent on tracking down law-abiding gun owners and building files on them instead. In 2013 and 2013, for example, the RCMP spent $1 million on … [Read more...]
Former RCMP Corporal and Convicted Murderer Keith Wiens Appeals Both his Conviction and Sentence
On August 16, 2011 Keith Gregory Wiens shot and killed Lynn Kalmring. That is a fact undisputed by Wiens himself, who admitted to killing his common-law spouse in court. He claimed the killing was in self-defense, a claim that was ultimately rejected by the jury as they took little time, just a few hours, to convict Wiens of second degree murder. Clearly they didn’t believe … [Read more...]
[Video] High River RCMP Dog and Pony Show
RCMP in High River, Alberta, broke into the homes of evacuated residents and seized every firearm that wasn't bolted down or locked in a safe, claiming "public safety". These criminals with badges and guns must lose their jobs and face criminal charges for violating the Charter Rights of High River residents. Write your MP, Prime Minister Harper, Premier Alison Redford … [Read more...]
ATTENTION High River Residents – Essential Information Required!
The Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA) sends its best wishes to the residents of High River, Alberta at this difficult time. Some of you will be facing the most dreaded of problem a family can have – the prospect of losing homes and property. As you are permitted to return to your homes, the CSSA has a special request to those who may have had firearms confiscated … [Read more...]
High River RCMP Thieves Stole More Than Just Guns…
It's what we feared all along. After RCMP members broke into the homes of flood victims in High River, Alberta, they stole far more than just guns. While illegally searching the homes of Canadians without a search warrant, High River's RCMP thieves just couldn't help themselves to a few extra items "since they were there". One female resident is making a unique plea that … [Read more...]
What does a burning Ukraine Police Station and the High River RCMP have in Common?
What does a burning Ukraine Police Station and the High River RCMP have in Common? Both police forces have no respect for their citizens or the Rule of Law. In the town of Vradiyevka, Ukraine, roughly 330 kilometers south of Kiev, furious protesters took to the streets after authorities refused to arrest a police officer suspected in the brutal gang-rape of a young woman … [Read more...]
RCMP Constable Harley Gillman Guilty of Fraud but kept on the Force
It is very difficult to comprehend why RCMP Constable Harley Gillman is still a cop. One would think that a repeated pattern of theft and abuse of trust would be grounds to fire a corrupt cop but not so when it comes to the RCMP. In the RCMP it simply means a lengthy paid vacation and then back to business as usual. I wrote about this thieving cop back on August 11, 2012 in … [Read more...]
Infamous RCMP Thug Geoff Mantler is Finally Sentenced… to a Joke on Us
It’s taken a long time but that infamous thug and former (Thank God!) RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler was finally sentenced for brutally kicking Buddy Tavares in the face. Like Benjamin (Monty) Robinson before him in his obstruction of justice trial for killing Orion Hutchinson, Canada's justice system protects those who wear the venerable red serge, no matter how heinous their … [Read more...]
When is Police Brutality NOT Police Brutality? When the Judge Says So…
RCMP Constable Andy Yung is a real piece of work. And by that I mean he is the type of man we really don't want patrolling our streets armed with a badge, a gun and the power to do as he pleases. He first hit my radar a few years ago when in a drunken fit he fired his service pistol through the ceiling of his hotel room. At the time he was one of a supposedly select group … [Read more...]
Port Hardy RCMP Cruiser left unattended with a bucket full of Marijuana Plants
The video below was sent to me by a resident of Port Hardy. While the claim in the note attached with the video is this RCMP cruiser was left unattended outside the Port Hardy hospital, there isn't anything in the video to confirm that, other than the "PH" on the rear of the cruiser. Here is the note: Here Is A Clip Regarding RCMP And Marijuana = Left Car Unattended In … [Read more...]
