RCMP Graciously Consents to Be Accountable ? More Like Lip Service

I doubt it. I find it hard to be optimistic when the RCMP has to initiate what should have been in place all along. It just underlines the humiliating fact that our government is a bunch of cowtowing toadies. What happens when their contract is safely renewed and the RCMP decides to renege on it's offer to do what should have been thrust down their throats long ago. I shudder to think where we'll be if their contract is renewed, because it will be renewed for at least ten years and probably more so that municipalities that are policed by the RCMP can plan properly. I think the nearly $300 million BC squanders annually on the RCMP should be channelled into a corporate style take-over and transition to our own police force. A core of existing decent mounties could form the nucleus. The other two thirds can go fly a kite. They don't have to be fired even, we simply don't hire them on in the transistion.


And while we're at it, who says amnesty has been declared for the killers of Robert Dziekanski? Are we just supposed to forget about him and other victims of RCMP outrages because the RCMP temporarily claims it will do better from now on? Is this intended to be some kind of sick plea bargain?
If this empty rhetoric about instituting independent investigations really meant anything it would already be in place, and Cpl. Montie Robinson and his fellow thugs at the airport would already be in jail, and the young man Cpl. Robinson killed with his car and left dying in the street while he went home to belt down a couple of more drinks would still be alive.
