Summer Fun Food and Drink Olympic Rant 32 Trouble making cops · 14.08.09 by colin newell

A snippet from a recent copy of Georgia Strait magazine…

The RCMP-led security force for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games won’t rule out the use of agents provocateurs to incite protesters to commit illegal acts.

Speaking on behalf of the Vancouver 2010 Integrated Security Unit, Cpl. Jen Allan said the ISU is charged with ensuring people’s safety. “We are not in a position to detail a specific operational plan as to how we are going to fulfill that obligation,” Allan explained to the Georgia Straight in a telephone interview.

She reiterated the ISU’s assurance that all Olympic security operations will be carried out “in line with Canadian laws and Canadian values”.

I do not believe for a second that our national police force, lacking as much credibility as they do, have a freaking clue what Canadian values are – much less the ability to actually put them in to practice.

For those who do not know who or what agents provocateurs are…
They are police who masquerade as trouble-makers in normally peaceful crowds to discredit legitimate protests – by instigating trouble.

The RCMP used agents provocateurs at a G8 event in Quebec recently – and guess what? The peaceful crowd was not fooled and the dirt-ball RCMP were exposed for the corrupt organization that they are.

Do not get me wrong: I am not advocating the elimination of the RCMP as we know it – not by a long shot… But more a step by step process to get the rot out.

Let’s start by stopping the RCMP from investigating themselves when they kill or injure someone in custody.
Yea. Good place to start.

This time I agree 100%.
Ever since Seargeant Pepper went nutso with pepper spray and then the RCMP all lined up behind him and especially after the Taser death at YYJ, and again the RCMP circling the wagon, I have been pretty suspect of the boys in red serge.

Thank you. Ignore my IKEA wisecrack. Inappropriate. I apologize. I find the fact that IKEA defaces public property with their graffiti a little odd if not illegal.

I totally like your blog.
I am a bit of a coffee fanatic myself. It is great to hear your opinions, refreshing …I find.

Thank you Richard – you are too kind… I tend to be somewhat OCD on the likes of the 2010 Olympics (judging by the sheer number of posts…) and the Gordon Campbell Liberals…
Cannot be that healthy.

OMG people are you not aware the RCMP are above the law. They can murder, molest little boys, pay teen-age girls for sex, launder money, cash in on drug deals. An old vet from WW11, and also a vet of the RCMP, retired for many years. He said the RCMP should be purged. In his time (he was an officer who decreed death before dishonor). He said another punishment would be they would be sent to Old Crow to work, similar to Siberia. Only thing if they were punished like that, there would have to be a small city built to house all the bad boys. His wife said, they have taken a once proud profession and dirtied it beyond redemption.
