If the seniors recently brutalized by the RCMP in Coquitlam had been both younger and even a little more robust they would have been pepper sprayed, tasered or perhaps even shot dead because their canes looked like shotguns.
Chickenshit pigs overdue for promotion in today's police culture.

Mr. Beer. Is there a related story?
Well, Beer, gotta disagree with you on this one. I am in the demograph of these people and I would absolutely tend to be compliant with the police - after all, my fight is not with THEM!!
I would be compliant if not only for my own personal dignity but for the sake of the trauma caused to their granddaughter. How shameful that their granddaughter had to see them in such undignified circumstances.
I am not totally condoning the police action here - what I want to point out is the fact that the oldsters did not have a bone to pick with the cops. They should have just gone home when the police were called and regrouped to be more effective next time!!
LG - not sure what you are getting at.
I'm not familiar with this story, Mr.Beer
it doesn't matter what the seniors ought or ought not to have done. what is important here is the police ought not to have done what they did. really I've had enough of the RCMP and their gangster tactics.
Perhaps some of the actions by the RCMP in cases of brutality is simply re directed anger. They have settled the lawsuit with women rcmp officers and now there is a class action by men who worked in the RCMP. given some of the terrible working conditions, I'm not surprised I'm not surprised the officers act out inappropriately.
The RCMP NEEDS total over haul. They bully and harass each other and then they bully and harass and even kill the public they are supposed to serve and protect.
In B.C. we need to start eliminating them as municipal police forces.
Given what was already known about the RCMP when their contract to provide police services was extended 20 years (!) a while back those responsible for turning a blind eye to our super-dysfunctional national police ought to be held responsible themselves for every instance the RCMP treat human beings like subhumans.
