    We all need to start carrying around video cameras to protect ourselves and each other because we know based on the indisputable evidence that we cannot trust anything the RCMP say or do because they are no longer serving the best interests of Canadians and our country or the law they are supposed to be upholding.

    Based on what I have seen and my own experience I now will go no where without an audio recorder ready to record anything unjust that occurs,(which it has done and has protected me by doing many times to date as the evidence proves), and now I realize a video recorder is the better way to go and offers much more protection for myself, my sons and others.

    This man was not charged with anything, was not given a trial to defend himself, and was not found guilty of anything...yet received the death penalty at the hands of those that have sworn to serve and protect Canadians and uphold the law. In this country we don't allow convicted criminals to be treated in this way, we don't allow the mentally ill to be treated this way, and we don't allow animals to be treated this way...we can never, ever accept the RCMP killing people in this brutal, horrific manner, suspects or not. And it must be asked...was this man fighting back, if he in fact did, because he was terrified of being murdered by the RCMP as he witnessed them doing to Robert Dziekanski?

    I know that if I were approached by the RCMP today that I would be reasonably terrified based on what I now know and would logically feel immediately that my life was in danger, when I have committed no crime, and would immediately be thinking about how to survive and fight for my life.

    It can no longer be considered wrong or a crime of any kind to resist arrest, if this is even the truth about occurred in the case of this poor man as we now know the RCMP lie, when we know for a fact as witnessed by our own eyes that the RCMP kill within 25 secords of approaching someone, regardless of them being guilty of a crime or being any kind of a threat or not.

    The RCMP and those responsible for governing them are responsible for this man fearing the officers that approached him, as it appears he did based on what was reported, if what was reported is even true, since we now know we can't trust the media either any longer. The facts support beyond any doubt that the RCMP and those that govern them are responsible for his death, period.

    As the late William S. Burroughs Jr. used to say, "Paranoia is just knowing all the facts."

    I find it seriously hypocritical that in the article in the link below the Canadian police association president remembers the democracy we live in only when defending the police officers that have killed people that have not even been charged with a crime, stating that the <br />
    RCMP officers/murderers caught on tape are presumed innocent in our democracy pending the outcome of the inquiries into their actions, yet what about the victims right to be presumed innocent until a proper investigation has been conducted? They want to have it both ways...they want to defend RCMP officers murdering innocent people with no investigation supporting their actions and to remind us we live in a democracy when we demand justice for the victims, but then the rules all change when the focus is on the RCMP and their actions, despite indisputable evidence proving RCMP officers have murdered people, and suddenly it's all about the RCMP officers rights and how we have to treat them in accordance with the democracy we live in...what a hypocritical, narcissistic load of pure bull$#!^.<br />
    <br />
    And this guy is attacking Sen. Colin Kenny for speaking out and saying what he believes, something shockingly rare in our so called democratic system these days,while at the same time emphasizing that we live in a democracy, another words that allows freedom of speech and the expression of individual opinions and beliefs. Enough already, Canadians have got to stand up and speak out and refuse to accept this bull$#!^ anymore...they can't get away with it if we see it for what it is and won't allow them to and if we demand they are held accountable. We have to remember we pay them to serve us and they answer to us no matter how hard they try to tell us and convince us otherwise. <br />
