COVER REVEAL: Paul Palango’s Book on Nova Scotia Mass Murders

Billed as “A shocking exposé of the deadliest killing spree in Canadian history, and how police tragically failed its victims and survivors,” Paul Palango’s book on the Nova Scotia mass murder spree will undoubtedly piss off the RCMP. Buy it on Pre-Order today!

Paul Palango: One Man’s Pursuit of the Truth Could be the RCMP’s Undoing

While RCMP Asst. Commissioner Lee Bergerman is doing her best to hide and obfuscate the truth, my bet is on Paul Palango because the closer he gets to the truth, the closer early retirement comes for Bergerman. 

Alan Ruel: Man Paralysed by Stroke in Jail Cell While RCMP Ignored Him

If the RCMP is outstanding at anything, it’s their ability to deny all wrongdoing in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
The latest in this long line of disgraceful conduct denied by the RCMP is the case of 73-year-old Alan Ruel, who they left in a drunk tank for over 18 hours without checking on him.
The problem? Alan Ruel wasn’t drunk. He was suffering a series of strokes.

Brian Sauvé, Head of Police Union, Opposes Public Inquiry into Nova Scotia Murders

Grow a pair already, Mr. Sauvé, because right now you are the one dishonoring those RCMP members whose interests you claim to represent.
You can’t gloss this over or blame anyone else for what happened that day – not if you expect the mere citizens of Canada to retain an ounce of respect the RCMP and its front-line members.

Priceless: Travis Bader’s Letter of Apology From the RCMP

Travis Bader, his family and his company were fully exonerated of any wrongdoing by the RCMP. Part of the settlement deal Bader reached with Canada’s national police force included a Letter of Apology.
For me, that apology letter is one of the most precious documents the firearms community has ever seen.

Policy on Storing RCMP-Issue Guns Released – Finally

I filed my original ATIP for the RCMP policy on storing RCMP-issue firearms in unattended vehicles on August 20, 2018. Two days later the RCMP’s ATIP department acknowledged my request. That was the last I heard from them.

For RCMP Only: Steal 6 Handguns and get Conditional Discharge

Imagine that you, mere citizen, managed to get your hands on 6 handguns and as part of your job you are to destroy them.  You don’t fulfill your job requirements for reasons the world will never know and take the…

Monty Robinson Sentenced to Prison? It’s a MIRACLE!

I’m here in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, for Jane Gaffin’s Celebration of Life event (more on that later) and much to my shock and surprise Allen Carlos tells me that one of the cops who killed Robert Dziekanski was sentenced to…

RCMP Hypocrisy: Reporting Sex Offender Names Except When Sex Offender is an RCMP Member

The RCMP has a long history of hypocrisy when it comes to dealing with sex offenders wearing Red Serge. If the sex offender is an RCMP member his name will NOT be released to the press and every possible measure…

The Civilian Range Project – An Idea Whose Time Is NOW

Back in 2009, when we were fighting for the passage of Bill C-301, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police came out in favour of the bill and against civilian gun owners. Many gun owners were displeased with that attitude…

Is Nanaimo RCMP Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong a complete idiot?

Is Nanaimo RCMP Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong a complete idiot or just thoroughly ignorant of the laws she supposedly enforces? I honestly don’t know what else you can say about a so-called “police officer” who has absolutely no idea of what…

RCMP Anti-Bullying Initiative is Ill-Timed and Thoroughly Misguided

While the RCMP promoted Pink Shirt Day as a way of stopping bullying in schools, the horsemen took to bullying some of Canada’s best and most law-abiding citizens: gun owners. In true hypocritical fashion, the Boys with the Yellow Stripes…

The RCMP Hates Only One Thing More Than Firearms: Firearm Owners

The priorities of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are screwed up. You may think tracking down child pornographers might be a bigger priority for RCMP investigators but I suspect you would be wrong. The RCMP seems far more intent…

Former RCMP Corporal and Convicted Murderer Keith Wiens Appeals Both his Conviction and Sentence

On August 16, 2011 Keith Gregory Wiens shot and killed Lynn Kalmring. That is a fact undisputed by Wiens himself, who admitted to killing his common-law spouse in court. He claimed the killing was in self-defense, a claim that was…

[Video] High River RCMP Dog and Pony Show

RCMP in High River, Alberta, broke into the homes of evacuated residents and seized every firearm that wasn’t bolted down or locked in a safe, claiming “public safety”. These criminals with badges and guns must lose their jobs and face…

ATTENTION High River Residents – Essential Information Required!

The Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA) sends its best wishes to the residents of High River, Alberta at this difficult time. Some of you will be facing the most dreaded of problem a family can have – the prospect of…

High River RCMP Thieves Stole More Than Just Guns…

While illegally searching the homes of Canadians without a search warrant, High River’s RCMP thieves just couldn’t help themselves to a few extra items “since they were there”.

One female resident is making a unique plea that the other stolen items be returned immediately…

What does a burning Ukraine Police Station and the High River RCMP have in Common?

What does a burning Ukraine Police Station and the High River RCMP have in Common? Both police forces have no respect for their citizens or the Rule of Law. In the town of Vradiyevka, Ukraine, roughly 330 kilometers south of…

RCMP Constable Harley Gillman Guilty of Fraud but kept on the Force

It is very difficult to comprehend why RCMP Constable Harley Gillman is still a cop. One would think that a repeated pattern of theft and abuse of trust would be grounds to fire a corrupt cop but not so when…

Infamous RCMP Thug Geoff Mantler is Finally Sentenced… to a Joke on Us

It’s taken a long time but that infamous thug and former (Thank God!) RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler was finally sentenced for brutally kicking Buddy Tavares in the face. Like Benjamin (Monty) Robinson before him in his obstruction of justice trial for…

When is Police Brutality NOT Police Brutality? When the Judge Says So…

RCMP Constable Andy Yung is a real piece of work. And by that I mean he is the type of man we really don’t want patrolling our streets armed with a badge,  a gun and the power to do as…

Port Hardy RCMP Cruiser left unattended with a bucket full of Marijuana Plants

The video below was sent to me by a resident of Port Hardy.  While the claim in the note attached with the video is this RCMP cruiser was left unattended outside the Port Hardy hospital, there isn’t anything in the…

And the Special Treatment for Spouse-Abusing RCMP members just keeps on coming…

One of my ongoing pet peeves is the special treatment RCMP members receive at the hands of our so-called justice system. Let’s say, just for clarity, a man works at a shooting club. He’s in charge of the place and…

Labrador RCMP member arrested for child luring

Remember when Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said in defense of the warrantless search provisions of Bill C-30, “You’re with us, or the child pornographers”? I find it rather ironic that, just days before Bill C-30 was officially scrapped, an…

Brutal Thug (and Kelowna RCMP Constable) Geoff Mantler will finally face trial for kicking Buddy Tavares in the face

  [powerpress]   Anyone who has visited this site before will know precisely what I think of Kelowna RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler.  I think he’s a thug with a badge and a gun who should be fired from the RCMP…

Systemic Disrespect: Almost half of all RCMP complaints are for abusive behaviour

It’s a shocking statistic from the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP.  While attempting to find a specific decision on their website I discovered this tidbit of information: 43.6% of ALL complaints against the RCMP are for abusive behaviour…

Sadly RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson is learning why his predecessor failed so miserably

RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson is on record saying he wants to clean up the RCMP and get rid of the bad apples that are spoiling the barrel of decent cops. It’s a commendable position to take, even if he’s not…

RCMP Constable Harley Gillman: The latest in a long line of thieving RCMP members

It’s the typical RCMP response to one of their own being caught with his hand in the cookie jar: give the thief a paid vacation. That’s precisely what’s happened to RCMP Constable Harley Gillman of Saskatchewan’s Beardys First Nation.  He’s…

Courts Crime Justice Denied Justice System Abuses Police Police Sentencing Double-Standards RCMP Accountability RCMP Hall of Shame

Justice for Orion Hutchinson and his family? Not a chance. Disgraced former RCMP Corporal Benjamin (Monty) Robinson plays the race card and wins

I was disgusted but not surprised that another piece of garbage in an RCMP uniform, Constable Geoff Mantler, walked free the other day, acquitted by Judge Takahashi.  I saw that one coming a mile off. Reading the news, however, that…

RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler WALKS on assault charge, as predicted

As much as I would like to have been surprised by Geoff Mantler being acquitted of assaulting Manjit Singh Bhatti on August 30, 2010, sadly I am not. I predicted he would be acquitted on July 12, 2012 in my…
