Need a Mugger? Call 911

It's been business as usual in Terrace since April 21 when RCMP gang members mugged 47 year old Robert Wright. For Robert Wright and his family- definitely not business as usual. 

More than three weeks in hospital have gone by so far, with the day in and day out hour after hour after hour daily grind of visiting and coping as best they can for his family. Mr. Wright's crime? 'Suspicion of drunk driving' whatever that means.

He was healthy when taken into RCMP custody and locked in their jail. Then they beat him up. His 'crime' was that- like 70 % of us in BC- he didn't show respect. Bullies can't cope with lack of respect because they are cowards. Lack of respect fills them with fear. The RCMP has even put a label on the behavior that inspires their cowardice. They call it 'non-compliance', and it means whatever they want it to mean.

The RCMP has earned it's lack of respect. Each of us has to hope that we or somebody we love won't be the next victim.

Mr. Wright, who spent his birthday in an RCMP induced coma, was 'non-compliant' : the name for the new rug under which the RCMP sweeps it's cowardly atrocities. In this case, 'non-compliance' means that some over-bearing swaggering thug in an RCMP uniform ordered him in a tone Mr. Wright considered disrespectful, to do something Mr. Wright considered demeaning, and that Mr. Wright either refused to do it or didn't do it fast enough. Those are responses that a gang of bullies simply will not tolerate- at least not when they themselves are safe.

 It has nothing to do with the safety of the public or the police. It has everything to do with the RCMP exerting absolute authority for the sake of exerting absolute authority.
