Editorial Slams RCMP For Pepper Spray Incident On Reserve
I am still fuming over the incident where RCMP officers pepper sprayed a 7 month old infant, a toddler and 13 others OVER A TRAFFIC OFFENSE!!According to today's editorial in the Province, I am not the only one who is outraged!!
"... the video then shows an infant in the arms of its mother with its head "in a cloud of pepper spray" and "everybody covering their faces." The astonishing outcome of this melee was that 15 adults and children, including two children under two, had to be treated at the local hospital for exposure to pepper spray."

I'm seeing more and more of this gross over reaction by the "authorities". This is just more evidence that we are sliding into the type of controlled society Huxley and Orwell warned us about...
I hope those who were assaulted are doing better and that the mounties responsible are given harsh consequences for their behavior... like losing their jobs. Have you heard if the baby is ok?

Hey Women! The child is apparently okay but they had to freeze his eyeballs to do a thorough exam for permanent damage. Luckily the little guy seems okay.
I am so angry I could spit nails!!!!
You are soooo accurate when you say, "I'm seeing more and more of this gross over reaction by the "authorities". This is just more evidence that we are sliding into the type of controlled society Huxley and Orwell warned us about..."
This was typical of authoritarian thinking on the part of the police. It is getting more and more prevalent and will continue to if we don't scream blue murder every time we confront it!!!
Thanks!
