RCMP with Blackwater mentality

17 November, 2007 (14:04) | Miscellaneous

The video above is shocking and will upset any normal person. It is a video, taken by a a civilian at , of a visitor from being ed by four officers. I do not use the term murder lightly here. The victom posed no threat to anyone, he was in a secured area, he was not armed, he was confused, dehydrated and disoriented from a long flight and getting abandoned in a secured area, he did not speak English - all of this was apparent to all the people who watched this poor person and must have been reported to the RCMP when they were called in (which there was no need to do, but that’s another part of the story). Within 47 seconds of arriving on the scene, having made no attempt to get a translator to help calm this man down, without any time to actually assess the situation, the 4 wannabe goons from the Richmond detatchment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, pulled their s and hit the man at least 3 times and then knelt on his back and it appears held his throat down with a foot. Within a 90 seconds he was dead. They murdered him for no reason and should be charged, each and every one of them, with .
These and the RCMP’s initial attempts at a coverup (refusing to return the video, telling the public a story that is quite at odds with the details in the video) make me ashamed to be a Canadian. No doubt with the governement in control in this will be whitewashed somehow, the victim will be made the villain and the officers made out to be heroes doing their jobs. Anything to show the Bush neocons running Homeland Security that we mean business

Howdy– Really enjoy your blog… I check it just about everyday. One criticism, though: you really have to do something about the fact that multiple quicktime players fire automatically as soon as I navigate to your site and that video you’ve embedded also starts automatically playing. It’s very annoying. Cheers.

Ya I know what you mean Gareth - I haven’t been able to figure out how to stop that - I’ve set the embedded files to not auto start but they still do so it’s driving me crazy too. One suggestion for you though is to use an RSS/Atom reader and then instead of opening the full site you just go to individual posts that you want to view - that way only the one will start

It doesn’t come up for me at all - says it cannot open the file and to check the path. I went out front, looked at my walk… that path is fine… I’m confused.
