4 Mounties killed

[Evil Chris]

ROCHFORT BRIDGE, ALTA. - A raid on a suspected marijuana grow operation in rural Alberta has left five people dead – four of them RCMP officers. It is the single worst multiple killing of RCMP officers in modern Canadian history.

Personally, I'm flying my flag at half mast today.
This is quite sad.

well that's too bad. but....


"the single worst multiple killing of RCMP officers in modern Canadian history."



that's not too bad. pretty safe country. 4 american cops would have blown the perp into 50 million pieces after the first fired shot though. wonder how the training process is there.

sucks for their families.

re-read what you wrote there.

Consider the stupidity.

[Evil Chris]

Let me retract that.
I don't mean to call your words stupid. My apologies.

But how much sense does it make to suggest that RCMP police officers are trained in a sub-standard way? Or by saying, "that would be a walk in the park for our guys"...

That kind of south-of-my-border mentality bothers me.

Follow the great logic. Country is safe, not many Cops ever dies. It must be because they are poorly trained and we'd have been better off with trigger-happy gun jockeys...


hmm...

in the article it did say that the officers killed were junior officers ( did they mean in age? or were they referring to the training level?)

with that said it is a great tragedy indeed to see police killed in the line of duty.

( for the record I do not agree with the duty they were doing at the time) but that is an entirely different matter .

I do however to touch on what pushpills is saying, believe that more training for raids will surely be ineveitable now after this tragedy, and Drguile the reason our cops are so "trigger happy" ias because this has happened many times over and ten fold here !

how do you think the next cops going into a situation like that in canada will act now? hmmm maybe they will be a little more nervous and " trigger happy" too you think?

people unfortunatly are a product of their environment more often than not.

Stop being so defensive. If anything Grogran was commenting that american cops are trigger happy.

I particulary don't like the RCMP with the numerous run ins I had being "Profiled". My good thoughts to their families.

Oh Tony...BULLSHIT!!!!

You had it coming!!!

Young male (regardless of race) drining with ALL windows down and the seat virtually reclined (You are not black!!) in one of :

a.) Viper
b.) 600SL
c.) Lightnining
d.) 430 S
e.) 430 ML
f.) Porsche 911 Conv
g.) Prowler

Tires on the car still steaming from braking down from thre normal cruising speed of MkIII!!!!!

If YOU were a cop , you would have stopped YOU!!!
I rarely got stopped.

Though the time i flew back to a party at my house and 3 minutes later the cops knocked saying someone drove the 600SL up the hill at incredible speed , and I said..

"Yeah I know that kid is a lunatic , thankfully he just got a cab for the airport back to England"

Was pretty close ;-)
