COVER REVEAL: Paul Palango’s Book on Nova Scotia Mass Murders

Published January 24, 2022 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: RCMP Accountability


COVER REVEAL: Paul Palango’s Book on Nova Scotia Mass Murders

From the morning he first heard about the Nova Scotia murders just down the road from his home, Paul Palango knew the RCMP had screwed up badly. Billed as "A shocking exposé of the deadliest killing spree in Canadian history, and how police tragically failed its victims and survivors," Paul Palango's book on the Nova Scotia mass murder spree will undoubtedly piss off the … [Read more...]

Paul Palango: One Man’s Pursuit of the Truth Could be the RCMP’s Undoing

Published June 29, 2021 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: RCMP Accountability


In a battle between Nova Scotia RCMP Assistant Commissioner Lee Bergerman and Investigative Reporter Paul Palango, My Bet is on Paul Palango. Every. Single. Time.

Investigative Reporter Paul Palango is one of those rare individuals, one of those old-school reporters, for whom the truth still matters. Unfortunately for the RCMP, the truth he uncovers may well be the organization's undoing. Lest you fall into the RCMP-baited trap that Palango has a hate-on for the RCMP, allow me to quote a couple paragraphs from the description of his … [Read more...]

Alan Ruel: Man Paralysed by Stroke in Jail Cell While RCMP Ignored Him

Published May 22, 2020 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


Alan Ruel Stroke in RCMP Drunk Tank

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, Head of Police Union Representing RCMP Members, 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

Published March 24, 2020 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Guns, Police, Police Misconduct, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


RCMP Apology Letter to Travis Bader and Silvercore Training Systems

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

Published April 12, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: RCMP Accountability


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

Published May 9, 2016 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Courts, Police, Police Corruption, Police Sentencing Double-Standards, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


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

Published October 6, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, Police Misconduct, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


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

Published March 19, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Common Sense, Gun Politics, Guns, Property Rights, RCMP Accountability


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?

Published March 16, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Canada's Firearms Act, Courts, Gun Politics, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


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

Published March 10, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Common Sense, Gun Politics, Gun Registration, Guns, Police, Police Misconduct, Property Rights, RCMP Accountability, Rights


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

Published March 1, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Big Brother, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Gun Politics, Guns, Police, RCMP Accountability


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

Published September 29, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Human Depravity, RCMP Accountability, Violent Criminals


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...]

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.

The Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA) sends its best wishes to the residents of High River, Alberta at this difficult time.

High River RCMP Thieves Stole More Than Just Guns…

Published July 5, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Courts, Police, Police Misconduct, Property Rights, RCMP Accountability, Rights, Warrantless Searches


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?

Published July 4, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Courts, Police, Police Misconduct, Property Rights, RCMP Accountability, Rights, Warrantless Searches


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

Published May 15, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, Police Corruption, Police Misconduct, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


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…

Published April 22, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Courts, Police, Police Brutality, Police Misconduct, Police Sentencing Double-Standards, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


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...]

And the Special Treatment for Spouse-Abusing RCMP members just keeps on coming…

Published March 6, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, Police Misconduct, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


One of my ongoing pet peeves is the special treatment RCMP members receive at the hands of our so-called justice system. Let's say, just for clarity, a man works at a shooting club. He's in charge of the place and has access to firearms all day long. At night he goes home and beats his wife, leaving her with bruises on her neck. Twice. Nobody would bat an eye at … [Read more...]

Labrador RCMP member arrested for child luring

Remember when Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said in defense of the warrantless search provisions of Bill C-30, “You’re with us, or the child pornographers”? I find it rather ironic that, just days before Bill C-30 was officially scrapped, an RCMP member in Newfoundland was arrested and charged with child luring on the internet. A member of the RCMP has been arrested and … [Read more...]

Brutal Thug (and Kelowna RCMP Constable) Geoff Mantler will finally face trial for kicking Buddy Tavares in the face

  [powerpress]   Anyone who has visited this site before will know precisely what I think of Kelowna RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler.  I think he's a thug with a badge and a gun who should be fired from the RCMP and spend a long time rotting in a jail cell. Geoff Mantler will now stand trial in Kelowna, BC, on November 26, 2012 for the brutal … [Read more...]

Systemic Disrespect: Almost half of all RCMP complaints are for abusive behaviour

Published August 15, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police Misconduct, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


It's a shocking statistic from the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP.  While attempting to find a specific decision on their website I discovered this tidbit of information: 43.6% of ALL complaints against the RCMP are for abusive behaviour and language. That is incredible and shows a systemic problem that RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson cannot be happy … [Read more...]

Sadly RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson is learning why his predecessor failed so miserably

RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson is on record saying he wants to clean up the RCMP and get rid of the bad apples that are spoiling the barrel of decent cops. It’s a commendable position to take, even if he’s not the first to attempt the monumental task of rebuilding the RCMP's shattered image and lost confidence of the public.  His predecessor, William Elliott, also tried to … [Read more...]

RCMP Constable Harley Gillman: The latest in a long line of thieving RCMP members

Published August 11, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Crime, Human Depravity, Police, Police Corruption, Police Misconduct, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


It's the typical RCMP response to one of their own being caught with his hand in the cookie jar: give the thief a paid vacation. That's precisely what's happened to RCMP Constable Harley Gillman of Saskatchewan's Beardys First Nation.  He's on a paid suspension or what I like to call a paid vacation after being charged with theft and breach of trust. Constable Gillman would … [Read more...]

Justice for Orion Hutchinson and his family? Not a chance. Disgraced former RCMP Corporal Benjamin (Monty) Robinson plays the race card and wins

I was disgusted but not surprised that another piece of garbage in an RCMP uniform, Constable Geoff Mantler, walked free the other day, acquitted by Judge Takahashi.  I saw that one coming a mile off. Reading the news, however, that arguably the most disgraceful person to ever wear an RCMP uniform, former RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson, will never set foot inside a prison cell … [Read more...]

RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler WALKS on assault charge, as predicted

As much as I would like to have been surprised by Geoff Mantler being acquitted of assaulting Manjit Singh Bhatti on August 30, 2010, sadly I am not. I predicted he would be acquitted on July 12, 2012 in my article titled Constable Geoff Mantler’s Fate in Assault Trial awaits Judge Mark Takahashi’s decision. While my good friend and un-indicted co-conspirator Jane Gaffin … [Read more...]
