give her the chair or at least life

What the hell is that comment about corruption?? Sick!!!

What the hell kind of comment is that Corruption? Who are you referring too?

This is not a good situation especially when the cells have closed circuit cameras in them. I say the guard dropped the ball by not watching the monitors.

ok maybe i jumped the gun a bit about the chair but the guard didnt do her job and is responsible for the girls death..i hope she goes to jail for this

According to the article the guard is male as he is referred to as "he" while the RCMP officer who had initially frisked Cheryl was female.

Corruption:

in response to the accusation that the guard is responsible for the girl's death, I believe that it was Col. Mustard with the noose.

Actually, no, it was the girl herself who decided that being in jail was a death sentence and decided to take matters in her own hands instead of trying to appeal her sentence.

I heard on the radio today (Nov.3) that she had a common law hubby. Where was he when this incident transpired?

It makes me sad to read comments like yours, Corruption.

People who work in these position generally do a great job. We hold them to a higher standard and for the most part, they achieve that standard. Occasionally, AS IN ANY OTHER PROFESSION, someone will make a mistake. Unfortunately in policing, when they make a mistake it is national news. I don't know what your job is nor do I care, however, I guarantee you have made a mistake or two in your lifetime. Fortunately enough for you... we didn't hear nor post about it on a blog.

We can all be armchair-quarterbacks, but at the end of the day we have to look at the job these people are doing. Not just the RCMP officers, but jail guards too. We can't paint them with the same brush. I believe the RCMP have done our country a great service in the past years, and I believe they will continue to do so in the upcoming years. It really saddens me to read the hateful comments towards directed to our national police force. How discouraging it must be for them!!!

If I am in a situation where I need immediate police help, I PRAY that the officer who arrives to help me is confident and ready to use whatever means necessary to provide me with that help, EVEN IF IT MEANS TASERING SOMEONE.

I just feel horrible and can't imagine doing their job with all the haters out there.

PLEASE tell me there is someone who agrees with me...

You don't usually change peoples minds by talking. It is actions that put the RCMP in the publics eye and it will take a lot of time to change our view. Actions really do speak louder.

I think it is very sad that a young woman killed herself in cells. Tragic indeed, and my thoughts go out to her family and friends.
I also think it's tragic and wrong to blame the RCMP. I don't want my tax dollars paying for the police to have to babysit drunk adults who may or may not have suicidal ideation. (Yes, I know that many tax dollars go to this very thing.)
The inquest concerns a clearly intoxicated female who killed herself after she needed to be removed from a public location and was transported to cells. The RCMP did this job and with no excess force.
It is a sad truth, that in a very short time, people can and do take their life.
I certainly hope the RCMP members being grilled at the inquest have the necessary support they deserve.

Maybe they should take some of that 45 million for the new building and fix what they already have.I think Mr Rodgers should give his HEAD a shake
