RCMP More Blue Than Red These Days

Why is the RCMP going out of its way to lose credibility with the Canadian public?

As if the force hasn't enough troubles...It was announced today that an officer in Prince George, who had been accused of buying sex from teenage prostitutes over a period of many years, has been returned to active duty.

No charges were ever laid (so to speak), thus the officer has done nothing wrong, blah, blah, blah...

Couple of small problems here.

The Mounties took over a year to launch a disciplinary hearing. Apparently they've never heard "justice delayed is justice denied."

The officer is one of several who were similarly accused and they were all part of a case in which Provincial Court judge David Ramsay was sentenced to 7 years after pleading guilty to various charges involving young prostitutes and violence.

The officer's lawyer is quoted, "He's looking forward to the day when he gets back to active duty."

Well, let us assure the good solicitor that he must be the only one.

The rest of us are wondering just how many self-inflicted wounds the RCMP can handle.
