Gee, isn`t that the old school way of getting rid of your frustrations? This is the 21st century,you can`t do that.
What's the point?
The RCMP are rarely ever found guilty of anything.
Aand when they are,they walk anyway.
He still hasn't been found guilty of anything...
He , like all of you are, is entitled to his day in court.....
until then he has only been accussed, nothing proved...
if he is proved guilty, then, he like everyone else deserves what he gets....
The story doesn't say what kind of a fight the woman was putting up either does it? Could it maybe have been a defensive move? HWho laid the complaint, teh woman or an observer who was three sheets to the wind?

Lots of questions and we haven't got the answers and we dont have the right to convict him before his day eitter.
BCR I have to agree with you, he may have been punching back. Was there backup available, think that's what Stubbs wants looked at.
Drunk people are the worst to deal with, the reason I didn't go in to the Mounties.
Well, let me tell you! The cops(thugs)in recent years have been treating law abiding citizens like they are guilty until proven innocent. You know, tazer them until they are dead, shoot them in the back of the head, kick them in the face while they are on their hands and knees etc. Are you kidding me? So you know what? Cuff him, he is GUILTY until he can prove otherwise. How do they like it.

And one more thing, suspended WITHOUT PAY until the final outcome.
what a goof
Easy taxi, easy there. Remember what you said the other day about putting your mind in gear before your mouth.
Oh I'm very clear on this subject! The C.O.P.s had a way different standard when I was growing up. I hope that some day they can return to that outstanding standard.

Does anyone know what COP stands for?
Who is entitled to a day in court?? Try speeding through a radar trap doing excessive.
Then again; some females mouths can make you want to punch them. Specially the ones in jail. He was probably frustrated with her mouth and decided to close it. Good on 'im I say.
Why is this news in Prince George ? More O250 propaganda. Stubbs isn't even here yet and you are putting him into the local news on a nothing incident.
Constable on Patrol
Taxinapothead !
No Boon, I don't smoke pot! I just have an honest opinion.
keep in mind that even if found guilty the average citizen would get very little for this, likely probation or a suspended sentence.
And taxinapothole, when we were growing up the CITIZENS were different, how they reacted to authority was different and the risks were less. We live in a me, me, me generation.
And why bring up the "shoot him in the back of the head" bs? This was investigated at length and by a Coroners Inquest. Anyone who actually believes this new recruit just decided to pop someone in the head with a 9mm round needs to think again. He was fighting for his life.
And, like everyone else, this cop (Hull) has rights. The RCMP can't just take him off duty without pay until/if/when he is found guilty of something. Cops also have rights, just like every other citizen
