RCMP Drag 2 Seniors In Their 80's Down Stairs
This should go well for the RCMP in Coquitlam. :thinking-006:
Too bad the entire incident isn't on video, I bet it would have shone a different light on the whole incident. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/britis...cers-1.3827314 |

Always two sides to every story!

If the current leadership can't straighten out the RCMP,( bullying, theft, rape, sexual assault, internal sexual harassment, drugs, paedophilia, bribery and on it goes) maybe it is time we did away with them completely. |
Nothing to see here.
Just like how they treat their female co-workers.:thinking-006: If the old folks we're part of my family. Those two pukes would want to leave the planet:budo: |

Definitely was poor judgement on the PO's part. He needs to go.

IMO Police training has become too American, based on American ideas for the American culture that increasingly seem out of place in the Canada Canadians have and would like to create. As a result of that and other trends today's RCMP no more represents or answers to Western Canadians than when they were the NWMP, whose creation was based on the British Royal Irish Constabulary and with the same mandate.
IMO Each province should have it's own police force, for the same reasons some already do and to ensure police are more sensitive to local cultures and concerns. Normally in Canada that means only Aboriginal or "ethnic" issues but I personally, unlike most Canadians, do not agree with raced based policing which is mandated by our our many race laws and agreements. I would have liked to see such agreements and treaties where a persons parents determine what kind of Canadian they are and policing they get to be left in the 1800's but that isn't what most Canadians want so race based policing should stay. At the very least having those police answer to local political institutions rather than institutions thousands of kilometers away, away in distance and cultural ideas, would much better represent those being policed. But all of that has nothing to do with the incident in question. Whenever an incident occurs I have to wonder why the people involved thought their actions would be considered acceptable. Is management so slack they engage in such actions all the time? Have they just lost interest in the job and care not if they get fired? Do they have the proper training to do the job? We will likely never know as such answers are rarely reported by our media. Of course we do not need to know the answers to know that it appears they should be charged and explaining that to a judge just as you or I would. |
All that over a scuffle at a strata meeting? Oy.
|
Watching the old man hanging onto the stair rail when the officer tries to get him down the stairs shows that old people can be idiots just as easily as young people. The video makes pretty much everyone in it look bad.
|
Wow, that kid screaming in the background the whole time was just perfect. Are you sure this wasn't some kind of homemade horror show for halloween?
Watching that video made me sick to my stomach. Thank goodness someone got it on tape, or it would be just another day at the office. In the interests of fairness, we did not see what started this, or what sort of criminal activity those 2 criminals and their tiny accomplise were up to, so it's really not up to us to judge. |

“It was reported that a strata annual general meeting had gotten out of hand and that some parties in attendance were potentially fighting,” said Maloney. After police arrived, says Maloney, a decision was taken to end the meeting, but the elderly couple allegedly refused to leave and were arrested by officers. |

I am not defending the officer's behavior, but if the old man had done what he was told, instead of hanging onto the rails , and making the situation as difficult as possible, none of this would have happened. The old man certainly wasn't setting a good example for his grandchild. As I posted previously, the video makes pretty much everyone involved look bad. |
I see it different.
I see two people not following police instruction and apparently breaking the law. They were being told to leave and the cop was quite calm throughout it even when the little kid was running up and hitting him. The age of them makes no difference to me - if anything, it implies they should have set a better example and followed lawful instructions. I didn't see a baton, tazer, or firearm come out. I think the cops showed pretty good restraint. Sounds like neither of the people were seriously hurt. I am not a cop. The crap they have to deal with on a daily basis is mind blowing. |
There you go. Sounds like they were involved in assaulting someone, or at least brawling (which is illegal in AB, not sure about BC). Then they refused to obey a lawfull command to leave when told. On top of everthing else, all 3 were resisting arrest and I saw that little demon assault that officer at least twice. I hope he recovers from his injuries.
A good dragging, a heavy fine and a few years behind bars should show them the error of their ways. Just cause that old guy is 80 yrs old and possibly didn't even know what the hell was happening is no excuse. The law is the law. OPPS.. in responce to Weedy, post 17 |
Pretty straight forward. They should have listened and followed orders. Now they will play the innocent victims in hopes of getting a monetary settlement.

They choose the job. They don't like it or can't handle it, feel free to walk out the door and not come back. It's a job. It's a job that you get to be armed, it's a job that should be rewarding, it's a job that you should be respected doing - but respect is earned, not demanded. |

The police do not make the law - that is the purview of the lawyer and politician. The cops are only there to enforce it. I doubt they cops are looking for respect, I think they are just looking for people to obey the law plain and simple. |

Hindsight is a great but like mentioned earlier in a thread two sides to this outcome but I say three sides, thier side, the police side and what really took place. Grab your phone and miss the first half of the show, make it public and the general public bounces all over the place...like I mentioned earlier there will be a conversation with the chief, no dought. |
Assault on seniors
Do you dpsee the kid saying "Asian, Asian?"' I'll bet the old couple don't even speak English, and that's why they didn't "comply."
Crappy for everyone involved, but like someone mentioned manhandling old people could be the end of their life. |

One thing I don't understand, is if they were going to forcibly remove those 2 old gangsters anyways, why not handcuff them first? Would have been much easier to control/manhandle. |
Quote:
Is it that we were taught to respect them? Or were they respectable? I have nowhere near the respect for the badge that I used to. |
