Monday March 07, 2005
Hinton Parklander ? Four families mourn the loss of loved ones with the sudden shooting deaths of four RCMP officers during a drug raid in Mayerthorpe last week.
To say that these shootings -- performed by a single gunman with a high-powered rifle -- represent a horrid loss of life would be an understatement. This incident is the single largest loss of RCMP lives since the 1885 Northwest Rebellion and should serve as a reminder to everyone about the inherent dangers every time law enforcement officers put on a uniform.
Our thoughts go out to all of the family members, co-workers and friends of those four officers who died at that remote residence. Our thoughts also go out to the family members of officers at our local RCMP detachment. These shootings must be a distressing, if unnecessary, reminder of the risks their loved ones must take everyday in the line of duty.
There will be calls for tighter regulations on marijuana-grow operations, and some people may even rain misguided criticism down on the RCMP procedures that could let four of its members be apparently shot down by a single man.
This is not the time for those discussions. That time will come when the dust has settled and experts have a chance to closely examine what happened that fateful day.
It is time to raise awareness -- about the daunting task rural RCMP detachments must undertake with limited resources and escalating crime levels. It is also timely to point out that governments have neglected to acknowledge these policing challenges where it counts most, in their budgets.
More than our thoughts, law enforcement in rural Alberta have our pledge to advocate for increased resources so that they can perform their job with a higher degree of safety.

they have specialized plates that deflect rifle shots. most police issue vests have mounts for them. all you have to do is put them on.

How could this happen in the Utopia of the Peoples Republic of Canada , with the Gun Registry and all. Surely it must be some gun toting American cowboy who is responsible?

Even if they did have them, there are a ton of factors that makes them usless. Such as the distance that the round traveled, and the load of the round. And where were they shot? In the head?

Quote:

A Long Island teen who told his pals he hated his stepfather and wanted to kill him used a samurai sword to nearly decapitate the former NYPD cop while he was taking a nap, sources said yesterday.

Police say 18-year-old Zach Gibian committed a premeditated execution over minor disagreements ? including the fact that his stepfather had grounded him and would not let him drive his new car.

But pals of the teen, a devotee of violent martial arts movies, say he repeatedly told them his stepdad ? a 15-year New York cop who retired because of a hand injury ? beat him.

A CRAZED mother yesterday shot her three five-month-old triplets before turning the gun on herself and committing suicide.

Police officer Maureen Koulen, 26, used her service weapon to blast the tots - two girls and a boy - in the stomach at her home in Suriname.

everyone in that town knew that the guy shot anyone who went on his property, either the RCMP didn't communicate with local police or they just didn't care.

Police should be judge and jury about 15% more often...

so that would make them judge and jury, what? like 90% of the time then. that is foolish. abuse of power is already rampant, and it gives good cops a bad name. there needs to be a shift in the tactics and policy of law enforcement world wide.

Police want to help you </sarcasm>

Quote:

AUSTIN, Texas -- Five police officers and four dispatchers were suspended for sending computer messages after a nightclub caught fire joking about the blaze and quoting a line from the song "Disco Inferno" -- "burn baby burn."

Witnesses at the Midtown Live club saw the "burn baby burn" message on the computer screen inside an officer's patrol car during the Feb. 18 fire. Police Chief Stan Knee said a commander and corporal who responded to the scene worked to calm angry witnesses.

The club has a mostly black clientele, and there were suggestions after the fire that the messages revealed racial bias in the department.

some cops are good people. they are unfortunately over shadowed by a vast majority of impotent, self loathing, elitists.

You wouldn't cry for the police if someone were to assault you?

you dont need the police to solve everything

if someone assaulted me I would seek revenge or wait for karma to fuck them.

I hate cops and even dealing with cops even if it is a legit matter, such as as paying a speeding ticket. they would be my last resort of people to call.
