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...]
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 Monty Robinson finally quits in disgrace prior to sentencing hearing
RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson has finally done something honourable… if you can call quitting in disgracebefore you’re fired as “honourable”, that is, right before you’re about to be sentenced for obstruction of justice. 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...]
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 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 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...]
Constable Lee Douglas, facing theft charge, gets rewarded for his crime with a paid vacation
Constable Lee Douglas must be thinking it’s great to be a cop in Oshawa, Ontario… He [allegedly] broke the law and is now being rewarded for his thievery with a paid vacation. What other career gives benefits like that? Any normal business would fire an employee for theft or at least make it clear they will resign or face criminal charges, but not police forces in … [Read more...]
The worst of Mankind and the Best of Mankind
Human beings are, at best, disgusting and depraved creatures. This was proven again (as if it needed to be) when dozens of people in China showed exactly how deeply depraved we human beings can be. On October 13th, on a busy street in the Guangfo Hardware Market in China, a toddler walks across the road and is struck by not one, but two vehicles, neither of whom could be … [Read more...]
Suspension with pay for killing a man, suspension without pay for not going to a pro-Islamic meeting?
In this tale of two police forces, I'll be delving into two cases of police suspensions and examine what constitutes grounds for suspension without pay in an American city police force, and then what constitutes grounds for suspension with pay in the RCMP. First up, the Oklahoma City Police. I was horrified a while back when I read about the case of Oklahoma Police … [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...]
