One Law for Me, Another for Thee

Published July 10, 2020 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police Sentencing Double-Standards, RCMP Hall of Shame


One Law for Me Another for Thee Police Sentencing Double-Standards

When you break the law in Canada, be it one of our many firearm laws or some other section of the Criminal Code, how you are treated by our justice system depends solely upon your legal status at the time of your offence. What's the colour of the stripe running down your pant legs? What? No stripe?  Then may God have mercy on you because Canada's justice system certainly … [Read more...]

Infamous RCMP Thug Geoff Mantler is Finally Sentenced… to a Joke on Us

Published May 3, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Courts, Police, Police Brutality, Police Misconduct, Police Sentencing Double-Standards, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


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...]

Thug RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler suddenly pleads guilty?

Published December 6, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Podcasts, Police, Police Brutality, RCMP Hall of Shame


[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?

Published November 30, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, Police Brutality, RCMP Hall of Shame


  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...]

Even Buddy Tavares doesn’t believe Cst. Geoff Mantler will be convicted of police brutality

Published November 28, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, Police Brutality, Police Misconduct, RCMP Hall of Shame


Buddy Tavares is the man who was brutally kicked in the face by RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler on January 6, 2011.  A Kelowna reporter happened to be there at the time and recorded the entire thing on video.  That video went viral and public outrage and condemnation of Mantler's apparent over-reaction was swift. In the wake of the Mantler video showing what seems to be blatant … [Read more...]

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

Published October 23, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Podcasts, Police, Police Misconduct, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


  [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...]

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

Published July 27, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Courts, Crime, Justice Denied, Justice System Abuses, Police, Police Sentencing Double-Standards, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


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

Published July 27, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, Police Brutality, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


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...]

Constable Geoff Mantler’s Fate in Assault Trial awaits Judge Takahashi’s decision

Published July 12, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, Police Brutality, RCMP Hall of Shame


It’s not surprising that Provincial Court Judge Mark Takahashi has reserved his decision in RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler's police brutality trial in Kelowna, BC.  Judge Takahashi has two conflicting stories to reconcile, as well as figure out who to believe. The victim in this case, Manjit Singh Bhatti, is an admitted crack cocaine addict with a history of substance abuse.  … [Read more...]

Thug RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler finally faces the first of two assault charges

Published July 10, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, Police Brutality, RCMP Hall of Shame


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 Member forgets loaded handgun on BC Ferry. Imagine if you or I did that…

Published April 1, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Police, Police Misconduct, Police Sentencing Double-Standards, RCMP Hall of Shame


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...]

Edmonton Police Service showcases their very own thugs with badges and guns

Published September 5, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police Brutality


The Edmonton Police Service showed they weren't about to let the RCMP or Toronto Police Service show them up when it comes to police brutality; that they could hold their own against any police force in the country when it comes to beating the crap out of the citizens they are supposedly there to protect. Sammy Sobieh released video that he claims shows members of the … [Read more...]

RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler will go on trial for kicking Buddy Tavares in the face

Published September 1, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, Police Brutality, RCMP Hall of Shame


RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler will go on trial for kicking Buddy Tavares in the face. That's great news. The only down-side?  It will be well over a year from now before that trial starts.  The trial will begin on November 26, 2012, and for reasons beyond my comprehension, they say it will take three weeks to decide whether or not  Mantler is guilty of assaulting Buddy … [Read more...]

Buddy Tavares sues RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler and I hope he wins

Published July 13, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Police, Police Brutality, Police Misconduct, RCMP Hall of Shame


Send RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler to prison

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...]

Lorne Gunter’s Lost Faith in our Police

Published January 27, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Police Misconduct


Lorne Gunter wrote an excellent piece on his lost faith in police, and how it all started with the murder of Robert Dziekanski by 4 RCMP members in 2007. I’m actually surprised that Lorne’s loss of faith in our front-line police started so late.  I’m surprised, because Lorne is well-known to be a man who looks into these sorts of things and does his best to get to the bottom … [Read more...]

Vancouver City Police Constables Florkow and London are always right

Published January 21, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police Brutality, Police Misconduct


Vancouver City Police constables Nicholas Florkow and Bryan London are always right.  Just ask them, they’ll tell you. Even when they‘re 100% wrong, like they are in a high-profile case of police brutality.  They’re so convinced they did nothing wrong. in fact, that they’ve filed a petition to have a hearing into their excessive force case quashed. What they ought to be … [Read more...]

RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler: Send this Kelowna RCMP Thug to Jail… immediately

Send RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler to prison

It's becoming more and more typical of RCMP these days. Beat the crap out of you first, ask questions later. Oh, and charge you with a crime so you can't sue... can't forget about that! You'll ABSOLUTELY want to watch the video below. Then you'll want to watch the news story on this event on the Globe and Mail's website.  They do a closeup on the cop kicking this poor guy … [Read more...]
