I hope you can keep us informed Elaine. Thanks.

I think that would be a positive move.

If the CPC starts taking complaints against the R C M P pertaining to "police brutality" I can assure you they will be swamped with people coming forward to voice actions by the police which were uncalled for and unjustified.
The choke hold was utilized not just to subdue a person, but actually in many instances to render them unconscious. This took place in the booking room, elevators, cells, or wherever an office felt the need to demonstate his power over the person to be incarcerated, irregardless of how minor the offense was.
Clearly there was a period of time in which the training process of these officers taught them how to bring cruelty and a sense of power into their actions towards any party supposedly guilty of any wrongdoing in an officer's eyes. Many times they worked together. I suppose this was to initiate a new officer into the process utilized so no "behind the back" reports could be filed against brutal officers.
Being a police officer cannot be an easy job.
They get sworn at, spit at, and there are people who totally lack respect for police officers.
The officers who cannot take this heat should be placed on desk jobs, and not asked to deal with the general public on the street.
An open beer at a hockey game should not have resulted in a young man's life being taken.
The CPC has taken on quite a task.
I wish them well.
I hope they can retain respect for the R C M P after taking statements as to a cop's conduct.
At times it will be difficult.
Guaranteed!!!!
The police must always keep in mind. When they have a party locked up, they can do the officers no harm. It is not a requirement that they at times beat them almost senseless. Some have required hospitalization.
And do not think they only attack males. Some officers are driven to hurting females as well.
They are definitely not all "good" guys, nor do I believe they are all "bad" guys.
I just would not wish to place myself in a position where I would be subjected to "finding out" if I was going to be dealt with by the "good," the "bad," or the downright "ugly."
And believe me-the "uglys" are a part of the force.
Believe me, they are out there!!!

That is good news for sure.... seems ludicrous that they would ever be allowed to investigate themselves....its like revenue Canada saying to a business just do your own audit , and let us know if you owe us any more money ? DUHHH
