At least nine RCMP officers in Terrace have been charged with assault , and at least one of those is facing charges for another assault on a different day.
Completely separate from all that, the Terrace RCMP gang members are also under investigation for a serious head injury suffered by a suspect in their care at their jail last weekend. The victim is in serious condition in a Vancouver hospital where he is still in a coma as of one week later. His wife was barely kept informed, and has had to take the initiate to keep posted.
Before all these incidents, and due entirely to other RCMP crimes not mentioned in this article, a BC Civil Liberties report had already labeled Terrace as a danger zone for civilians due to the presence of the RCMP.
"The (BC Civil Liberties) report highlights three cities, Prince George, Williams Lake and, most concerning, Terrace, as areas where the RCMP should place increased attention in order to ensure that public confidence in the force is maintained. Participants were nearly universal in sharing the opinion that police should no longer investigate themselve in B.C."
As far as we know, in spite of being requested to intervene, the Terrace City Council is not doing anything to try to protect Terrace civilians from the RCMP gang members but- on the contrary- continues to pay their salaries, equip them and put uniforms on their backs.
