Open letter to Terrace Town Council:
A major selling point used by the RCMP in foisting themselves upon us for another 20 years is that they will be more supportive of the idea of being accountable to non-police supervision. Now, with the days old beating of a man in your Terrace jails by your RCMP, the timing is perfect for you to have the mounties put action where there collective mouth is and to insist on yourselves being part of the investigation. Three council members should go everywhere and see everything that the police investigators see and hear. Please step up to the plate and protect us.
