Why are the police allowed to remove their ID numbers and name badges? Why isn't that a federal crime? And why didn't the reporter ask that question of the police chief?
-
The RCMP has always been used to protect economic & political interests of the state and rich friends of politicians.
-
And the rcmp can't figure out why more and more communities want them replaced.
-
“Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.”
-
Very interesting to know the RCMP is no different than the Gestapo.
-
I have experienced the RCMP violence while protecting Indigenous lands. The violence is systematic and intentional. I can’t imagine what that officer who left experienced behind closed doors when the RCMP “inquired” into his allegations. And cops wonder why people hate them.
-
Just remember... this all happened under Trudeau. So much for reconciliation. So much for a just society.
-
Is everyone losing their minds??!! My dad was an RCMP member for 30 years. He would never let me or my brother follow in his footsteps.
-
This why civilian oversight is an absolute must
-
Between this and the trucker convoy, it is no wonder that people want the R.C.M.P. disbanded...
-
When special units are created within a police force, their only purpose is to impose the will of the powers that be despite the law. The main feature is lack of oversight or control.
-
Nothing new under the sun. Money is power, so the poor are powerless. Nothing new under the sun.
-
Greed and selfishness is the root cause of 99% of the problems we face today. If we don't smarten up, it's going to take us all down. Not my opinion just fact. Is what it is.
-
" Community/ industry response group " That's what the police do. Protect the rich and powerful!!
-
i have seen the brutality first hand. this is just scratching the surface, but im glad its being exposed because the RCMPs actions in these spaces are truly deplorable.
-
Thank you so much for opening the chat room here. We love this channel, but for so long chat was not available
-
Absolutely disgraceful and disgusting. What is Canada becoming?😪😪
-
Why are the corporations not apart of this country? This is about selling off Canada. 😡
-
This is shameful and no members of any police agency should participate in such horrible actions.
-
Arrested on their own land for just living a life that respects the planet.
