As regular readers of my columns will already know, Corporal Monty Robinson has been on paid vacation for the past 4 years. His troubles seemingly started … [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 Corporal Benjamin Monty Robinson: Reason #4 for BC to Dump the RCMP
RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson is pretty much the poster-boy for everything that's wrong with the RCMP, both here in British Columbia and across the nation. Corporal Robinson’s case shows us the stark, horrific reality of the inner workings of the RCMP itself: how the RCMP has no real desire for accountability, the incredible lengths the RCMP will go to in order to … [Read more...]
RCMP’s latest black eye? Constable Benjamen Kozlovich
The RCMP's hiring practices didn't do them any favours this week. On March 12, 2019, Langley RCMP constable Benjamen Kozlovich was arrested in Chilliwack and charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose stemming from a stabbing attack in Edmonton in 2013. BC RCMP's Public Relations crew didn't do them any favours, either. Their … [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...]
Shocking News! Robert Dziekanski’s Death at the hands of RCMP Thugs Ruled a Homicide!
It only took the BC Coroners Service 5 years… It’s rather astounding, I must admit, but the BC Coroners Service finally reached the blatantly obvious conclusion that Robert Dziekanski’s death was a homicide. From the Toronto Sun: The coroner’s report (download PDF) released Monday found that Dziekanski, 40, died from a heart attack moments after four RCMP officers zapped … [Read more...]
Thug RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler suddenly pleads guilty?
[powerpress] When it comes to police brutality cases I don’t surprise easy. So often they are pathetically predictable. Today, however, I was shocked to see Kelowna thug and RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler suddenly changed his plea to guilty. This sad excuse for a man spent the past two years proclaiming his innocence, blaming his RCMP bosses for “tossing him under … [Read more...]
RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler “tossed under the bus” by RCMP Brass?
Ever since video of Kelowna RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler’s brutal kick to the face of Buddy Tavares was made public, I’ve stated that this thug should be in prison, not walking the streets with a badge and a gun. Geoff Mantler is a danger to society and, like every other violent offender, he should spend a very long time in prison. Testimony at Mantler’s trial … [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...]
Thug RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler finally faces the first of two assault charges
Thug cop and Kelowna RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler is well-known to anyone who follows cases of RCMP misconduct. In January 2011 he made international headlines after video surfaced of him [allegedly] brutally kicking Buddy Tavares in the face as Tavares knelt on the ground in front of him. I hate having to preface that comment with [allegedly] but even thugs like RCMP … [Read more...]
RCMP Constable Derrick Holdenried suspended without pay for stealing, but Monty Robinson is still on the payroll???
The RCMP really needs to get its act together when it comes to punishing wrongdoers within its ranks. The suspension of RCMP Constable Derrick Holdenried for stealing seems outrageous and bizarre when compared to that of killer cop RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson or sexual offender RCMP Sgt Don Ray. Monty Robinson, you will remember, is the guy who ran home to down a couple of … [Read more...]
RCMP Cpl. Monty Robinson’s stunning lack of character
I saw a great response to news that RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson's sentencing date for obstruction of justice charges had been postponed today. It's a letter to the editor of The Delta Optimist that perfectly echos my thoughts on this pathetic excuse for a human being. re: Robinson's sentencing postponed until July, May 30 Monty Robinson's defence that his reaction to … [Read more...]
RCMP Cpl. Monty Robinson sentencing for obstructing justice in Orion Hutchinson’s death delayed again

RCMP Commissioner Paulson says all the right things about the RCMP’s internal culture of covering up abuses
RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson is saying all the right things about the RCMP’s internal culture and his desire to overhaul the RCMP’s disciplinary system. Unfortunately that is not a job he can do on his own. He needs our help. But he’s the commissioner of the RCMP, you say... He’s the top dog... why does he need our help? In order to change the way the RCMP deals … [Read more...]
RCMP Cpl. Benjamin Monty Robinson will be sentenced on June 1, 2012
RCMP Cpl. Benjamin Monty Robinson, the man who killed 21-year-old Orion Hutchinson and then left the scene to have a couple of shots of vodka rather than check to see if Hutchinson was still alive, will be sentenced for obstructing justice on June 1, 2012. The sentencing date was set this past Wednesday. Robinson has never been charged with the death of Orion Hutchinson, … [Read more...]
RCMP Member forgets loaded handgun on BC Ferry. Imagine if you or I did that…
Sometimes things happen. Everyone forgets a bag now and then. It happens to even the most diligent person. But when you are a serving member of the RCMP and your carry bag contains your loaded service pistol... well... there's going to be a bit of a problem, isn't there? Now I commend the unnamed RCMP member for immediately notifying his superiors of his screwup. I actually … [Read more...]
Lisa Cheryl Dudley: Reason #3 to Dump the BC RCMP
Well, my original pick for the number 2 spot, RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson, just keeps getting kicked further down the list. Today I bring you instead my Reason #3 for British Columbia to dump the RCMP: Lisa Cheryl Dudley. Lisa Dudley would be alive today if it were not for the ineptness of the RCMP Constable sent to investigate 6 gunshots at the residence where she … [Read more...]
RCMP Constable Andy Yung: Reason #2 to Dump the BC RCMP
Anyone reading my articles about thuggish RCMP constables and corporals will no doubt be a little surprised by my choice of RCMP Constable Andy Yung as my #2 reason for getting the RCMP out of British Columbia. He certainly would never have been my first choice if he hadn't hit the headlines just this past week. There is one man who had this spot locked up solid (RCMP … [Read more...]
BC RCMP Audit remains hidden from the public, despite calls for it to be released before contract is renewed
Christy Clark's government is hiding the report on the BC RCMP by claiming it would "compromise" BC's bargaining position with the force, whose contract is due to expire next year. Bluntly put, the public has a right to know what that report says. The decision on whether or not to keep the RCMP as our provincial police force is not one to be taken lightly, nor is it one to … [Read more...]
Buddy Tavares sues RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler and I hope he wins
Buddy Tavares, the man [allegedly] kicked brutally in the face by RCMP thug... I mean constable Geoff Mantler, has filed a lawsuit against Constable Geoff Mantler, Mantler's female partner, the Attorney General of BC and the City of Kelowna. Fantastic! If there is any common sense left in our justice system, this lawsuit should be a slam-dunk, especially considering that … [Read more...]
BC RCMP Constable Shyamal Ramlu’s lack of moral character…
BC RCMP Constable Shyamal Ramlu is the latest in a long line of examples of RCMP constables with no moral backbone whatsoever. Constable Ramlu's drunken blowjob with a street prostitute shows with stark clarity that the RCMP's pathetic recruitment process is in serious need of repair. For those not aware of Constable Ramlu's "indiscretions", here's what happened according … [Read more...]

RCMP Constable Gerry Rundel, RCMP Constable Bill Bentley, RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson and RCMP Constable Kwesi Millington, the four men who killed Robert Dziekanski in Vancouver International Airport, have now been charged with perjury for lying about their actions to the inquiry into Robert Dziekanski's death.

Another RCMP Thug, Constable Jack Cunningham, gets away with it
So far, RCMP Const. Jack Cunningham is getting away with his verbal and physical abuse of Leslie James Lattery in July 2009. In what appears to have become standard RCMP procedure when an RCMP member beats the crap out of someone, it was Lattery who was charged with assault, resisting arrest, assaulting a peace officer and uttering a death threat. All of these charges … [Read more...]
William Elliott never stood a chance with the RCMP
Current RCMP boss William Elliott never stood a chance. Appointed in the wake of such stellar examples of RCMP integrity as former RCMP Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli, Elliott was brought in to try and save the RCMP from itself. The very fact that Elliott was not a career cop offended pretty much everyone in the RCMP, but none more than the top echelon of RCMP brass who … [Read more...]
RCMP Accountability in BC
Dave Eby, the executive director of the BC Civil Liberties Association, held a weekend workshop in Prince George two weeks ago. It was part of his tour of northern and interior towns to educate people on their rights, how to exercise them effectively when dealing with the RCMP, and to get feedback on RCMP practices in the area. The general findings on the meeting were not … [Read more...]
Ottawa Cop given special treatment after reporting his service pistol stolen
One of the things I love to write about most is the double-standard of treatment for we "mere citizens" and our brothers and sisters in law enforcement. The reason is simple. The mere presence of a stripe down your leg, regardless of that stripe's color, inevitably means those wearing the stripes are treated far differently than those of us without them. It's a … [Read more...]
Alberta Sheriff Thomas Bounds Gets Job Back after using Excessive Force on Deaf-Mute Cancer Survivor
William (Bill) Berry is a two-time cancer survivor who is also deaf and mute. He breathes through a tube in his throat. By any scale imaginable he is a frail man but that didn't stop Alberta Sheriff Thomas Bounds from attacking Bill Berry in the Red Deer courthouse two years ago. No, the thug with a badge and a bucket-full of attitude to go with it felt justified grabbing … [Read more...]
Must be nice to be a Corrupt Toronto Cop at Sentencing Time
I truly get sick of seeing corrupt policemen, instead of receiving prison time for their crimes, be rewarded for them instead by our asinine justice system. Clearly judges in Ontario are taking lessons in stupidity from B.C. Supreme Court Judge Janice Dillon, who sentenced former RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson to a whopping 30 days of house arrest for obstruction of justice … [Read more...]
Corey Maygard: Harassed by Edmonton Police for the “crime” of videotaping them on a public street
Corey Maygard was on the street on Friday, August 10, 2012 and saw what he thought were Edmonton Police Service constables physically abusing a man. He pulled out his iPhone and started recording what he witnessed. One of the constables came over and demanded that Corey stop recording them. Fine. The constable can make any demand he likes. That doesn’t mean anyone has to … [Read more...]
