RCMP

 

The RCMP is to  be an exemplary force of decency, goodness but if you read the news the last many years they are nothing but that. It seems that they hired officers that are just as bad as the criminals they are  pursuing.

.

Dec 1, 2017  An RCMP officer in Manitoba  has been charged for refusing to give a breath sample after his vehicle was pulled over near Birds Hill Park. The news of the charge, which was made in September but was only made public by RCMP Friday, follows a string of arrests involving Winnipeg police officers.  The Manitoba RCMP officer. Corp. Scott Hanson, a 17-year member of the RCMP, is facing impaired-related charges.
.
In October, Const. Justin Holz, 34, was charged with impaired driving causing death in connection with the collision that killed Cody Severight, 23, in October. Earlier this week, more charges were added including dangerous driving causing death, dangerous driving and driving with a blood-alcohol level over .08 per cent causing death.

A man Christian Duck Chief, 24,   from the Siksika First Nation, southeast of Calgary,   suffered broken facial bones during a violent RCMP arrest last year.   On April 1, 2016   officers entered his home, broke at least four bones in his head and face during an arrest, and then walked him naked through their detachment. An RCMP officer hit Duck Chief at least 20 times after he stopped struggling, even as he lay handcuffed on the floor. According to Stonechild, Duck Chief was yelling “I’m not resisting” over and over as an officer hit him and elbowed him in the face “more than 20 times.”  “After arresting him, they took him out of his home naked, put him in the back of a police cruiser naked, and then took him through the detachment nude in the presence of a female civilian personnel at the guard desk.  His lawyer,   maintained the use of force was excessive and that the officers were in Duck Chief’s home without a warrant, “violating his privacy and his dignity.”

.
 The RCMP failed women. An unprecedented settlement that will pay up to $220,000 to women who were sexually harassed while working for the RCMP over the past 40 years   “This is the first workplace gender-based harassment class action settlement in Canada,”  Despite having formally apologized for nearly five decades of discrimination and sexual harassment carried out members of the RCMP against their female colleagues, officials from the RCMP refused to provide specific details on the number of settlements agreed to or the amount of tax dollars used to resolve these complaints.
.
  November 23, 2017 RCMP facing additional sexual harassment, discrimination claims from roughly 1,100 women. A year after the RCMP announced a landmark settlement with victims of sexual harassment and discrimination, there’s been an astounding number of women who have come forward. As many as 1,100 women have begun the process of opening sexual harassment or discrimination claims against the RCMP. MP calls new numbers on RCMP sexual harassment claims ‘mind boggling’. “It’s really completely unacceptable and quite discouraging to see the magnitude of the situation. The fact that it could continue to grow and it’s a stark reminder that work needs to be done — both on the part of the government and the RCMP.”
.
Nov 27, 2017  An incident between two married members of the RCMP has lead to Nova Scotia’s police watchdog laying charges assault and uttering threats against the husband.

A retired RCMP inspector had a mistaken belief that a civilian employee consented to sexual activity in a washroom at the force’s British Columbia headquarters, the Crown says.  Michelle Booker said Wednesday that Tim Shields did not take any steps to see if the woman provided consent for him to allegedly kiss and grope her in 2009. Shields, 52, was charged with one count of sexual assault in May 2016 and has pleaded not guilty. Shields joined the RCMP in 1996 and was promoted to inspector in 2009. He was the Mounties’ media spokesman in B.C., and was suspended with pay in May 2015 in the middle of the code of conduct investigation. He left the force in December of that year.
