RCMP commissioner promises sweeping changes

yes thats what I mean. This is not an issue partisanship. This is an issue that affects all of us!!

I agree that what the police does affects us all! Remember that! In a democracy, even the police need watch dogs monitoring them to ensure that they do not abuse their power! That is key to a democracy! The ability of the people to question actions of police forces is critical - if we lose it, we lose freedom.

The Taser has become the new crack of the constabulary. A very sorry situation indeed. And Stockwell Day is still around and not managing this mess!

You are right about their love of tasers!

The issues in BC with the RCMP seem to growing and/or getting worse. You should also reference Ian Bush, a sad case and another of RCMP cover ups. It is time for most urban centres to start their own police force, as only 4 or 5 currently operate their own. That or a BCPP. In my opinion the RCMP should have a reduced mandate and be more like the FBI or other national law enforcement agencies.
