Chris Selley: RCMP's failings in Nova Scotia inexplicable, unforgivable and probably unsalvageable nationalpost.com/opinion/selley…
@nationalpost As someone who has lived in Nova Scotia my entire life and policed by RCMP in my town I would prefer city police. Rotating RCMP officers every few years is an issue. They are not what we need. We prefer familiar, community policing by those who know us, have grown up here.
@nationalpost Wonder how life bf it will take before this report is lost like the Brown report in the 70’s
@nationalpost But... You get a pension... and you get a pension...
@nationalpost This massacre could happen again any time, anywhere the RCMP provide policing and it is highly likely the same mistakes will be made again. Canada IS broken when the govt can't even get basic policing right. Things don't need to be this way.
@nationalpost Sorry, but these incidents don't happen in larger, busier RCMP locations because those areas have more officers working due to more dense tax bases. Rural NS and other spots won't ever be able to afford to have swat teams on standby, even if not RCMP. There is no tax base for it.
