  1. Policing in Canada has certainly evolved.
    We’ve gone from civil servant peace officers to paramilitary law enforcement.
    Police able to pull you over, demand papers, in the name of ‘safety’.
    Police who do nothing all day but prey on citizens by issuing infractions of all types with the resulting enrichment of government coffers.
    Police budgets that are beggaring many communities. As with all union fiefdoms, growing their size and power is the goal. Freedoms….not so much.
    In the past, Canadians would talk and interact with the police as esteemed members of the community and neighbours. Now, it’s a relationship totally based on fear.
    Good times.

  2. To the person who says “Yeah, about all cops do anymore, high priced meter maids.” you should go on Sun News and watch the documentary on the High River Gun grab. The picture in this story may be closer to the truth than we would like to believe. It takes a commitment to watch the whole hour and 11 minutes but once you start watching you won’t quit, it is unbelievable.

  3. I wonder if these units come equipped with protection from the Mohawk Police Incapacitation Beam (MPIB) weapon that has been so effective in Ontario?

  4. The militarization of domestic police has become a greater hazard to public safety than the ills it is supposed to cure. Military tactics unburden the enforcer of just cause, onus of proof or reasonable suspicion encumbrances – military assault assumes the absolute guilt of the targets it is focused at and justifies the indiscriminate use of deadly force with impunity – under the assumption the target (no longer a suspect) is also in combat mindset and ordnance. This is why we see an astounding escalation in police shootings/maiming’s/tasering/gooning of innocent civilians – explained away in the new militarized police lexicon as “collateral damage”. SWAT was commissioned to deal with excessively hostile domestic situations which required paramilitary intervention (like mass hostage or terrorist attacks – meant to be used only in special circumstances – we now see SWAT no-knock raids for misdemeanors or every little hear say domestic complaint. The adaptation of SWAT tactics by police has escalated the number of incidents of excessive/unwarranted use of force – your chances of being shot by a cop are now 7 times greater than being shot by a terrorist/nutter.
    We now see at least one or more abuses or force by police daily in North America but most of the liability is defrayed by police investigating police – which is the very definition of a police state.
    If a paramilitary force like the RCMP are going to continue along the path we see defined by increased militarization, partisan political agendas, enmity toward civil propriety/rights and constitutional rule of law, we would be correct in pushing for their decommissioning before we end up with our own Stasi or TSA/DHS

  5. The cops will still find a way to allow three of their 50,000 dollar cruisers to burn for the cameras when they want to crack skulls and pick up some OT though.
    Gubmint union goons with guns.

  6. From democracy to idiotcracy to kleptocracy, each level of political animal fears the public more, feels they need a better defence system, better security. As their theft increases, their self worth falls, the fear increases, after all what can a klepto do if removed from the trough?
    Once police chiefs and the judiciary are allowed to join the club (an obvious act of self interest by the thieves), the police banditry grows apace.
    This is the disease of the evil and stupid, who desire to rule over all others, the general public is ,in their eyes, too stupid to run their own lives and needs the help of these self appointed saviours.
    Projection is sometimes so transparent, the criminals know they are acting deliberately to harm society, hence they fear reprisal, more than the public can be bothered to react
    Is this a desire for punishment? As the level of theft and abuse by government has ramped up, it is almost as if the culprits are demanding the public punish them or else,weird.
    But human nature does not seem to change, so the armed abuse by our watchdogs will continue to escalate, until the mob runs free again.
    Enjoy the decline.. indeed..

  7. They used to hire big tough guys to be cops. Now they high midgets with Napoleon complexes and women. Now, instead of beating the crap out of Indians, they kill them. We’ve come a long way baby.

  8. “your chances of being shot by a c0p are now 7 times greater than being shot by a terr0rist/nutter.”
    According to USA today: 147 persons die annually due to mass killings in the US. So according to the ratio you mentioned, blue people are shooting dead 1,029 Americans (i.e. 7 X 147) every year. Is there a URL for your numbers?

  9. Many years ago I met a man who walked with a bit of a limp. I found out he was one of the RCMP officers who was shot by the mad trapper of Rat River.
    A few months ago I was heading west on highway 43 in Alberta when I saw a police APC heading east. There had been an armed standoff near Grande Prairie and the SWAT team was going home.

  10. Good luck with that.

    “The nation’s leading law enforcement agency [FBI] collects vast amounts of information on crime nationwide, but missing from this clearinghouse are statistics on where, how often, and under what circumstances police use deadly force. In fact, no one anywhere comprehensively tracks the most significant act police can do in the line of duty: take a life.”

  11. Great headline…. How come they only practice and demonstrate this tactical anti – white taxpayer capability? Where are the tactical polices forces they use against the non-white no tax paying dissidents? (no where in NB ….)

  12. That looks like walking on squeaky snow weather.
    Brrrrrrrrrr.
    Why aren’t they wearing ski masks?

  13. “…Now, instead of beating the crap out of Indians, they kill them…”
    Sure. Bodies littered the ground in Caledonia.

  14. Set this against the fact that the CAF just cancelled an order for armoured trucks. Guess they will just borrow them from the RCMP.

  15. Kate makes a good point with the headline. It seems obvious these vehicles could clear an illegal blockade in fairly short order with little danger to the law breakers or police. Just recently there was another short illegal blockade on #63 near Fort Mac holding up traffic for 7 km. Why does the public take this crap?

  16. This is an interesting array of comments.
    The first group understands the intention of the headline – that Canadian Police generally seem to possess the resources to deal with minor armed insurrection, like the type that have been observed in Caledonia, Oka, and recently in Northern Alberta and New Brunswick.
    The second group seems to decry the fact that we have a police service at all; that they are too militaristic and are willing to pounce on basic rights and freedoms.
    No further comments….other than it’s interesting how observers to the right of the spectrum can look at a simple picture and draw very different conclusions.
    OK….one comment. For those like the one commenter on the original blog site that believe the police look like Nazis…..the newest versions of the ‘fritz’ style helmets have actually stopped AK47 rounds in combat in Afghanistan. If you were advancing on some kook holed up in a school, what would you like to wear on your head?

  17. Yet the incidence of violent crimes reported in Canada is falling, so who are the police afraid of?
    Yes our police have the resources, but seem very selective, almost cowardly, as to how they apply these same resources.
    They are certainly not shy about demanding tax dollars, very fearless in robbing those who support them, yet abject failures when faced with protesters of status.
    Criminal actions within the Just-us system seem to get a pass, special persons appear to be exempt the law.
    Yet the full force of armed state might can fall on traffic violators, so both points of view are quite logical.
    If the police need full body armour 24/7 and armoured cars , what is their relationship with the people who pay for their “protection”?
    Which seems to be very selective to nonexistent.
