Idiot Police

[jazz]

In every part of the country these rent a cops over reached just like our govt. Fines, harassment, etc. They have lost all respect as far as I am concerned.

I had lost all respect for the RCMP when one of their sergeants told me that they do not respond to rural crime as readily as in town, because it was towns that paid their wages. I asked him how much provincial tax they receive from peoples income tax. He responded around 30%. You could imagine he was dumbfounded when I told him that 30% of my provincial tax paid for an officer to be posted at my gate for a month, and my parents right across the road warranted that officer to stay there for another month.

The rest of the conversation consisted of him trying to pull his foot out of his mouth and then try come up with another excuse why their rural response is so horrible.

Needless to say their service has gotten worse, and I don't call unless I know it is something they will respond to like an abandoned stolen vehicle. Trespassing, you might as well talk to a wall. But heaven forbid if you step off the sidewalk onto someone's lawn in town.

One neighbour called while thugs were stealing gas out of his mothers yard. The cops told him that they are not going to risk their lives over some gas....so we just condone thievery now? Did you not sign up to be an RCMP officer knowing the risks?

One of my parents shops had been broken into, and I noticed the door was left open a crack but nothing was taken. I called it in and didn't even get so much as a call back. In the meantime I had emptied the shop and locked the door with a bigger lock. Low and behold the next day the thugs came back and couldn't cut the lock, so they ripped the doors off the shop. Had the cops responded, maybe they could have posted there for the night and you know...caught someone stealing like they are supposed to do? I phoned the next day and ripped them a new one. The thugs got an old 12' aluminum boat that wasn't worth much so I had decided to leave. But the damage to the shop was the worst part.

RCMP are scum as far as I am concerned. Lazy co*ksuckers.

"RCMP are scum as far as I am concerned. Lazy co*ksuckers."

RCMP Constable Heidi Stevenson, a mother of two and a 23-year veteran of the force, was killed during a gunman's rampage.


Go tell that to Heidi's children and loved ones.

Maybe stop and think before you post something like that on Agriville, it makes all farmers look bad as there are a lot of people other than farmer visiting this site.

You certainly have short memory, shameful on your part!!!

There are some good RCMP but the ones that let refugees in illegally into this country and carry there bags are scum! they could refuse to do it but didn't. so not only did virus infected people come into this country because of that also killers and all kinds of parasites!

Forage what are your thoughts on the incident at the Vancouver airport a few years ago.

Don't do this to me, jazz. I read the red title and got my hopes up that maybe we had made idiocy a crime, and created a police force specifically to enforce this crime against humanity. Then I saw the resident Agrivillage idiot was still posting, and then I opened the thread and discovered that being an idiot is still not only legal, but apparently is also encouraged.

If you can't have a little bit of understanding for this situation then your head is too far up your ass.

You don't think police are going to be gun shy after Nova Scotia? Better safe than sorry. They didn't shoot her where she stood, I don't see the situation being a big deal. They took the information they had at the time and reacted. What would the post be if it had gone the other way? "Idiot police let criminal disguised as storm trooper go on shooting rampage because they assumed gun was a costume prop."

Can't say I wouldn't be overthinking if a cop randomly pulls me over right now, all because of NS, why wouldn't they have similar thoughts about people with guns?

You don't have to be smart to be a teacher.
You don't have to be moral to be a Preacher.
You don't have to he talented to entertain.
You don't have to live healthy to be a Doctor.
You don't have to be stoopid to be a farmer.

Really.

The LPS seems to be having 2nd thoughts as well.

Are you suggesting that they also have their heads in an inconvenient spot?

Their over-reaction just made it much tougher for cops to do their job - anywhere.

And here's another thing - if this had happened in the US, might you be among those who would jump on the cops for being strong-arm bullies?

You can lay this one squarely at the feet of the Justin Trudeau government for creating an atmosphere of fear and distrust.

Wear it like a badge, sock puppet and Bill Blair.
