Preface
Walking amongst the cannibals - Watching out for the sharks?
While this poor guy was being massacred, dismembered and eaten,
Canadas Police Force [the Royal Canadian Mounted Police] waited, and waited, and waited?
Shocking beyond belief that the RCMP, in my eyes did nothing to stop this. I lost all respect for the RCMP. They are nothing but clowns in uniform.
This shows, yet again, the pathetic actions of the RCMP. I don't trust them and I'm embarrassed to say that they are the security of this country. Shame on the
RCMP again and again and again.
This author writes about such deplorable behavior.

Chapter 1 [The RCMP waited, and waited, and waited what cowards?]
As cited, after repeatedly stabbing Tim McLean aboard a Greyhound bus, Vince Li proceeded to defile, dismember and eat parts of his body, a Winnipeg court heard this
morning.1
Reading from an agreed statement of facts, Crown attorney Joyce Dalmyn revealed for the first time horrifying details of McLean's death last July aboard a Winnipeg-
bound bus.2
Dahlman said Li took a seat next to McLean following a stop in Brandon. About 20
kilometres west of Portage la Prairie "Li began to repeatedly stab Tim McLean for no
apparent reason," Dalmyn said.3
"Tim McLean struggled and tried to escape, that is clear because he suffered a
number of defensive wounds."4
As passengers scrambled to escape the bus, "Li appeared to be preoccupied with Mr.
McLean and continued to stab him as he lay on the floor," Dalmyn said.5
Court heard police officers at the scene saw Li in the bus eating pieces of McLean's flesh.6
McLean's eyes and a large piece of his heart have never been recovered and are presumed to have been eaten.7
And what was Canadas police [the RCMP] doing, and what did people think of their inaction?
These comments say it all:
In Bus 1170, the fifth estate recounts the story from the perspective of two of the surviving passengers. Stephen Allison vividly recounts his sense of foreboding as Li
walked down the aisle and took the seat across from him, beside Tim McLean. And
Kayli Shaw remembers the chilling moment when Allison ran by her yelling at the
driver to pull over, that someone was being stabbed. She says she is still haunted by
the sound of Tim McLeans screams.8
Bob McKeown also introduces us to truck driver Chris Alguire, who stopped his truck when he saw the Greyhound at the side of the road. Alguire tried to confront Li.
What he saw has left him unable to resume his former job or life since then.9
And the fifth estate talks to Tim McLeans family his father, stepmother and mother who today still struggle to understand why the RCMP stood outside Bus 1170 for five hours, as Li cut up their sons body.10
6
I am a tour/charter bus driver. I am appalled at the people on that bus and the RCMP. I can tell you for certain had I been on that bus I would have jumped on him
and bashed his head against that window until I knocked him out or killed him. And
to think that the RCMP just sat outside and watched doing nothing. I can't believe it.
Why not go in and shoot the idiot. Excuse me, but I am so angry at this, I have to
close.11
Another terrible crime is being committed and the police ignore doing what's right. What bothers me most about this crime is that it extends far beyond just the murder of
this young boy What the reports FAIL to mention is that why did RCMP stand around and put crime scene tape around yet not attempt to just get on the bus.12
Shocking beyond belief that the RCMP, in my eyes did nothing to stop this. I lost all respect for the RCMP. They are nothing but clowns in uniform.13
As for the behavior of the RCMP in this case every officer that showed up should be fired for their indecision.14
RCMP are against us, theyre not there to protect us!!15
This shows, yet again, the pathetic actions of the RCMP. I don't trust them and I'm embarrassed to say that they are the security of this country. Shame on the RCMP
again and again and again.16
Inept, incompetent RCMP. As usual.17
Our NATIONAL police force who chose to stand down on this crime. I am ashamed of our RCMP.18
Maybe if Mr.Li had of been holding a stapler instead of a knife the outcome may have been different. Shame on the RCMP.19
The RCMP should have taken action and removed that man from the Bus a.s.a.p. Not only should they have protected the citizens who were there, but their obligation
is to see to it that the man was stopped from causing any more assault.20
As for the cops, I am so full of rage. I have no faith in the police. Perhaps the RCMP
should stick to its Musical Ride as that is all they excel at. Look at how they are
equipped: guns, tasers, bullet proof vests, cuffs, rubber gloves, metal batons, etc.
They are not here to serve and protect... they are at war with the populace. 21
I can't imagine why anyone would want to be an RCMP officer now a days!22
The RCMP delayed taking action for over 4 hours and this is unacceptable. There is simply no excuse for allowing such reprehensible behavior to continue while
effectively doing nothing.23
7
As for the RCMP. Whomever is responsible for the reason the officers didn't board the bus and stop this animal, is guilty of a crime as well.24
My heart goes out to the family of Tim. I was watching the Fifth Estate on T.V .The Police should of at least did something about that instead of just watching.25
Would the term arse holes seem appropriate to describe the RCMP?
Wait around, wait around, wait around and do nothing while Vincent Li massacres,
dismembers and eats this poor victim just cowardly behavior!

Chapter 2 [The RCMP taser, and taser, and taser until dead what cowards?]
As many viewers and readers commented to the tragic, tragic death of Tim McLean
aboard a Greyhound bus1, the RCMP are not above tasering people at the drop of a
hat even tasering them to death!
Just cowardly, disgusting behavior by the RCMP.
As stated:
They so quick to use tasers on people who arent a threat but yet they sit on their butts for someone who decapitated someone on a greyhound bus whats wrong with this picture?2
The police do not hesitate to use their taser guns for far less serious reasons.3
Our fereral police won't hesitate tazering an innocent man to death at an airport but do nothing to stop another man from consuming/eating another in the presence of
innocent onlookers - it makes me sick.4
Given the RCMP use of deadly force, on innocent people, example Mr D. at Vancouver airport, and the 82 years old man in the hospital ... the question to ask
now is why they did not force the issue with the murderer on the bus?5
I am totally horrified after watching this program. The RCMP certainly did not waste time tasering a man to death from a foreign country in the Vancouver Airport. 6
I don't understand the police. They have no problem tasering somebody who is unarmed and kill them but we can't seem to pull the trigger on somebody standing
there with a knife and somebodys HEAD?????7
Ah, could this be the reason the RCMP waited, and waited, and waited Vincent Li was armed with a knife, while was unarmed?
What cowards taser an unarmed man to death however they wait, and wait, and wait while Vincent Li massacres, dismembers and eats this poor victim?
What case are these folks talking about the RCMP tasering someone to death in the Vancouver Airport?
Why none other than the RCMP cowardly tasering to death of 40-year-old Polish
immigrant Robert Dziekanski.8

Chapter 3 [The RCMP taser to death unarmed Polish immigrant what cowards?]
Apparently the RCMP within seconds had tasered Robert Dziekanski and,
even after falling to the ground, shrieking in pain, the RCMP repeatedly
tasered him to death!
Thats Canadas police force for you, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police!
Four burly RCMP officers, Constables Gerry Rundel, Bill Bently, Kwesi
Millington, and supervisor Corporal Benjamin Robinson were involved in
this cowardly incident where, about 25 seconds after arriving at the scene, Corporal Robinson ordered the Taser to be used. Constable
Millington tasered Dziekaski. He began to convulse and was tasered several more times after falling to the ground, where the four officers
pinned, handcuffed and continued to taser him (to death).1
Did the RCMP get away with murder?
Some appear to think yes!
And, just like the cowards they are, the RCMP lies started immediately.
Richmond RCMP Sgt. Pierre Lemaitre said officers struggled to subdue
the man: 'Even though he had received what they call pulses, two pulses
from Taser, he was still out of control.'2
The man actually died after 4 Taser jolts, witness alleges.3
In fact, one witness said she offered to tell the RCMP officers what she
witnessed, and that one officer said, "'I'll be with you in a few minutes.'"
But the officers did not take a statement from her, she alleges.4
As reported, within seconds, he had been Tasered. Dziekanski, even after falling to the ground, shrieking in pain, was Tasered repeatedly.5
The cover-up begins!
After the event, the Mounties all gave similar statements about how Dziekanski had come at them, yelling and wildly swinging the stapler, and
how several officers had to wrestle the man to the ground.6
However, a video proves the RCMP officers outright lied!
A witnesss video of the event showed none of that happened ... if not for
11
the video, might have got away with whitewashing what the judge called
the forces "shameful" conduct in the events that led to an innocent mans death.
7
As further reported, I saw more RCMP officers lie to cover up this cowardly crime.8
Incredibly, on Dec. 12, 2008, B.C. Criminal Justice branch spokesman Stan Lowe "cleared" the four officers of any wrongdoing and portrayed
Dziekanski as a violent and agitated alcoholic whose irrational behavior
contributed to his own death.9
However, even this Stan Lowe was put in his place when Cisowski had the
satisfaction of hearing Thomas Braidwood call the four Mounties
"inappropriately aggressive" and "patently unbelievable," while
emphasizing Dziekanski did nothing wrong nor in any way caused his
own death.10
Caught in their lies thanks to videotape of the cowardly crime, as it has been described.
Braidwood called the bystander video by Paul Pritchard of Dziekanski's
Tasering death "invaluable" evidence that "couldn't be cross-examined."11
Onlookers were incredulous when RCMP Commissioner William Elliott said Friday he wouldn't be announcing any disciplinary measures for any
of the four Mounties for their role in Dziekanski's death.12
Get away with murder and no consequences?
Even the apology to Robert Dziekanskis mother was a bunch of RCMP bunk?
A raft of internal RCMP emails was released through an Access to Information Act request showing that the April 1 apology was a carefully-
crafted script designed not to blame any RCMP member.13
On the day before the staging of the apology, RCMP Deputy Commissioner Gary Bass reassured RCMP staff relations supervisor Brian
Roach that their "apology" to Cisowski did not mean they were
apologizing for anything specific that any of their officers had done.14
"Essentially, even though the word apology worries some, we are not apologizing for the actions of specific members or saying anything about
specific actions.15
12
Cisowski said yesterday "this just shows that the RCMP even when they
apologize to me, they coverup.16
Actually tasered five times!
The e-mail, sent by RCMP Chief Supt. Dick Bent to Assistant Commissioner Al Macintyre suggested for the first time that the four
Mounties who responded to a call at Vancouver's airport planned to use a
Taser on Robert Dziekanski, who died at the airport on Oct. 14, 2007,
after he was Tasered five times.17
Finally, why do the people of Canada put up with this police force?

Chapter 4 [The RCMP taser to death unarmed Polish immigrant and the skunks at B.C. Criminal Justice cleared the RCMP officers - what cowards?]
Its very apparent, the B.C. Criminal Justice is no better than these cowardly RCMP?
As reported above, incredibly, on Dec. 12, 2008, B.C. Criminal Justice branch spokesman Stan Lowe "cleared" the four officers of any
wrongdoing and portrayed Dziekanski as a violent and agitated alcoholic
whose irrational behavior contributed to his own death.1
What miserable skunks!
Zofia Cisowski's "darkest hour" after learning that her son Robert
Dziekanski was dead came when B.C. criminal justice officials declared
that the RCMP had done nothing wrong -- and that it was her son's own
fault that he died.2
On Friday, Cisowski had the satisfaction of hearing Thomas Braidwood
call the four Mounties "inappropriately aggressive" and "patently
unbelievable," while emphasizing Dziekanski did nothing wrong nor in
any way caused his own death.3
Friday was an exhausting day after a night in which Cisowski slept little, coming at the end of years of hearings in which a video of her son's death
was screened repeatedly -- although it helped a kind and patient former
judge get to the truth.4
Braidwood called the bystandervideo by Paul Pritchard of Dziekanski's
Tasering death "invaluable" evidence that "couldn't be cross-examined."5
"Nothing will happen to them, still they are on the job, the four policemen
who caused Robert's death by what they did, and then they lie," said
Cisowski.6
"Many people [not just in B.C.] remember where they were at the time the
film was shown," he said.7
"We are welcoming and one of the friendliest countries in the world -- we
didn't display it that day."8
Not with cowards like this in the RCMP?

Chapter 5 [The RCMP taser to death unarmed Polish immigrant and the head skunk cleared the RCMP officers - what cowards?]
Its very apparent, the head of the RCMP Commissioner William Elliott has no scruples?
Onlookers were incredulous when RCMP Commissioner William Elliott said Friday he wouldn't be announcing any disciplinary measures for any
of the four Mounties for their role in Dziekanski's death.1
Listening to Elliott say the RCMP has reformed its training and Taser
policies, Cisowski whispered: "Still they get no consequences for causing
my son's death."2
Braidwood's 460-page report, entitled simply Why? The Robert Dziekanski Tragedy, is a blistering denunciation of the four Mounties who
Tasered and restrained Dziekanski face down, then left him unattended
until he died.3
Braidwood said the four Mounties behaved as if they were responding to a
"barroom brawl," and senior officer Robinson "intervened in an
inappropriately aggressive manner."4
"I found that Mr. Dziekanski had been compliant, was not defiant or
resistant, did not brandish the stapler and did not move toward any of the
officers," Braidwood said.5
"I concluded the constable [Millington] was not justified in deploying the
weapon and neither the constable nor the corporal honestly perceived that
Mr. Dziekanski was intending to attack any of the officers."6
Braidwood said the other two officers also "offered patently unbelievable
after-the-fact rationalizations of their police notes and statements to [the
Integrated Homicide Investigation Team]."7
As for Robinson's claim that the Mounties made a point to check if Dziekanski was alive, Braidwood was dismissive.8
"I can place little reliance on the testimony of Cpl. Robinson that he
constantly monitored Mr. Dziekanski's breathing until the firefighters
arrived. Similarly, I find unpersuasive the testimony of Const. Rundel that
. . . he knelt down near Mr. Dziekanski and heard him breathing and
snoring.9
18
"I am satisfied that Mr. Dziekanski went into cardiac arrest first, then went
unconscious, and finally showed signs of cyanosis, all within 75 seconds
of being handcuffed."10
It must be asked: What is this chief skunk, RCMP Commissioner William
Elliott, going to offer Interpol he was apparently a skunk in Canada and hes not going to change his apparent cowardly stripe with Interpol?

Chapter 6 [What is this chief skunk, RCMP Commissioner William Elliott, going to offer Interpol?]
What is this chief skunk, RCMP Commissioner William Elliott, going to
offer Interpol he was apparently a skunk in Canada and hes not going to change his apparent cowardly stripe with Interpol?
After all, only a coward treats underlings this way - RCMP Commissioner William Elliotts behavior was "abusive, ignorant" and "bullying"?
Incredibly, apparently the idiocy still continues, where senior RCMP members have complained about Commissioner William Elliott to some
of the highest levels of the federal government on two separate occasions
in the past seven days, CBC News has learned.1
On Tuesday, CTV's Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife spoke to a senior
Mountie who described the beef senior officers have with their
commissioner. Fife quoted the unnamed Mountie as being "fed up" with
Elliott's behavior, describing it as "abusive, ignorant" and "bullying."2
As further noted, the complainants, possibly as many as 10, include some of the force's top officers,3 with Deputy Commissioners Raf Souccar and Tim Killam laying complaints against Elliott, along with four assistant commissioners: Francois Bidal, Pat McDonell, Mike
Cabana and Mike McDonell, who quit in frustration.4
What was Prime Minister Stephen Harpers government reaction, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said Tuesday he is troubled by revelations that
up to a dozen senior deputy and assistant commissioners complained
directly to his deputy ministers office about Elliotts bullying behaviour.5
Last year, the RCMP spent more than $44,000 to send Elliott for a three-
day executive coaching session in Scottsdale, Ariz.6 Did it work not really. Maybe the guy cant learn?
Incredibly, one complaint described Elliott, who became the first civilian to head the Mounties in July 2007, in a rage, throwing papers at another
officer.7
In another episode, Elliott went over the top when he exploded at a more junior RCMP officer after the gear the commissioner was provided
for his visit to Afghanistan didnt fit properly.8
In fact, Elliott, said one source, had been repeatedly taken aside by
21
senior members after shouting at other officers during meetings or in front
of other RCMP members.9
There is supposed to be zero tolerance in the RCMP for managers who
harass their subordinates and yet Elliott epitomized the bully boss, the
insider said.10
As mentioned, for members to go outside the force with a complaint against the head of the RCMP means that many people have been pushed
beyond a point where they're willing to tolerate it."11
The CBC's Brian Stewart, who has followed the Mounties for decades, said the RCMP protest is unprecedented.12
Elliott declined to appear on CTV to discuss the matter. "He will not
comment publicly, he will not come on camera, we've made that effort,"
said Fife.13
Elliott later chastised the complainants for going public.14
Its almost Zack, the sequel said one source yesterday referring to former RCMP commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli. I think the authority went to his head.15
As emphasized, "I don't see how they can fix it up right now. The genie's
out of the bottle."16
Elliott was to fix the problems left by Zaccardelli, a showboating, hierarchical leader who played favorites within the force, and stepped
down after misinforming a parliamentary committee about the forces actions in the Maher Arar scandal.17
He didnt seem to be doing a good job?
What was Prime Minister Stephen Harpers government response, Toews said the government expects the assessment to be conducted
expeditiously and without further rancor. Frankly, it is unacceptable for individuals in leadership positions in an organization as important as the
RCMP to air internal disputes through the news media.18
In other words, keep it hush, hush!
Linda Duxbury, a professor who has studied the RCMP extensively, said
that the new problems are indicative of deep-seeded problems at the
agency.19
22
The RCMPs internal troubles are now another political nightmare for Harpers Conservatives, coming at a time when the governments other top security pick, Richard Fadden, the CSIS boss, is also under fire.
20
No wonder their job is making them sick with leaders like this running the
show?
What was Richard Faddens indiscretion, apparently he wanted to highlight some troubling revelations for the public.
As cited, Fadden told the CBC that at least two provincial cabinet ministers and a number of other government officials and employees are
under the control of foreign countries as part of espionage schemes,
Canadas top security official said Tuesday.21
In an exclusive interview on CBCs The National, CSIS director Richard Fadden said foreign powers are infiltrating Canadian political circles and
influencing public servants, fuelling a growing concern about economic
espionage in Canada.22
Finally, economic espionage, the trading, sharing or theft of federal secrets, can be considered a crime. He would not name the provinces the
cabinet ministers are from.23
Interpol has announced that William J.S. Elliott, currently Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), is being appointed as
Special Representative of INTERPOL to the United Nations.24
William J.S. Elliott will bring a wealth of experience and commitment to his important and challenging new post. His decision to take on this key
role as the primary liaison between INTERPOL and the United Nations
will enhance the relationship between the two organizations and benefit
international law enforcement cooperation, said INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble.25
As stated, what does this guy have to offer Interpol well maybe his "abusive, ignorant" and "bullying" behavior?
What a joke!

Chapter 7 [And what about the other RCMP skunks who sat quietly while perjury was going on what cowards?]
No one but a moron (RCMP Commissioner William Elliott) overlooks the
import of an e-mail like this in the vicious tasering to death of 40-year-old
Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski?
As noted, we have seen often-quoted Mountie mouthpiece Cpl. Dale Carr tell the Braidwood inquiry that top RCMP brass made a deliberate
decision not to correct misinformation RCMP had given to the media
about Dziekanskis death.1
In fact, e-mail suggests four RCMP Officers committed perjury while senior officers sat silent,2 specifically suggests Mounties planned to deploy Taser before they arrived at YVR, contrary to their testimony.
3
As reported, after months of outrage about the conduct of the four Mounties who responded to Vancouver Airport Oct. 14, 2007, who can
believe that at the last minute, a federal lawyer would produce what many
would consider a smoking gun -- an e-mail saying the officers decided to
use the Taser before confronting the Polish immigrant?4
If true, the Nov. 5, 2007, e-mail titled "Media strategy -- release of the YVR video," from RCMP Chief Supt. Dick Bent to assistant
commissioner Al McIntyre, establishes the four have been lying through
their teeth. This critical document suggests the four officers committed
perjury and that senior officers sat silent while they did so.5
"The documents that have just come to our attention include a critical e-
mail from very high up in the RCMP chain of command, disclosing that
the officers decided in a premeditated way, en route to the scene.6
Even the RCMP lawyers apparently lie?
Lawyer Helen Roberts, who represents the RCMP at the inquiry, offered a tearful apology to inquiry commissioner Thomas Braidwood, a retired
judge, for not disclosing the e-mail sooner.7
Helen Roberts had every reason to be in tears Friday as she apologized to the public inquiry into Dziekanski's death for failing to disclose what
appears to be not just germane but also startlingly important evidence.8
Roberts crocodile tears dont wash!
If Roberts had cried over Dziekanski mother's pain, I would be moved -- but a veteran lawyer wet-eyed over another screw-up in this case? I think
27
they were crocodile tears.9
"I find this delay in disclosing it to the commission appalling," Braidwood
said. "The contents of this e-mail goes to the heart of this inquiry's
work."10
"It should have been disclosed much, much sooner ... months and months
ago."11
"It's a stunning turn of events," Don Rosenbloom, the lawyer representing
the government of Poland at the inquiry.12
Rosenbloom said the 11th-hour disclosure "is totally inconsistent with
testimony given under oath" and goes to the heart of the issue of police
fabrication. During the hearing, he said, "we were alleging [the four
Mounties] were fabricating their story."13
The RCMP fabrication was, in fact, true!
Dziekanski's mother told reporters she was surprised and angry about the
e-mail being released so late. She suggested there had been a "coverup."14
"This is the kind of evidence someone should have known would have
important consequences," said Walter Kosteckyj, the lawyer representing
Dziekanski's mother at the inquiry.15
He said he had spent the last two weeks preparing his final arguments for
the inquiry, only to find not all the evidence has been heard.16
The RCMP lawyer tries to white-wash the facts?
David Butcher, the lawyer representing Const. Bill Bentley, one of the
four Mounties involved in the in-custody death, said Bent's e-mail was
hearsay and not credible evidence.17
B.C. Attorney-General Mike de Jong said he was concerned about the new
development, "the possibility that new evidence may be emerging at this
late date is troubling, and I'm sure very troubling for the commission
itself," he said.18
"Commissions of this sort, and really our system of justice, rely on all
witnesses who give evidence under oath to provide truthful and honest
answers."19
Incredibly, Commissioner William Elliott's carefully parsed press release
was equally unbelievable: "This was simply an oversight. Unfortunately in
28
an exercise of this magnitude, such an oversight can occur."20
Elliott a moron, as cited, no one but a moron overlooks the import of an e-mail like this [see Appendix 1, 2 & 3, cited below].21
That was not an "oversight." It was professional incompetence or a cover-
up.22
Paul Kennedy, the chairman of the Commission for Public Complaints
Against the RCMP, using a news conference in Vancouver, took some
well-aimed verbal shots at stagnant RCMP culture, especially its
notorious, self-destructive resistance to change. It is a massively inert organization, he said, and that must not stand.

The Braidwood Inquiry into the Taser-related death of Robert Dziekanski
has been blown up and left in ruins by the revelation a key RCMP e-mail
was withheld from the commission.
After months of outrage about the conduct of the four Mounties who
responded to Vancouver Airport Oct. 14, 2007, who can believe that at the
last minute, a federal lawyer would produce what many would consider a
smoking gun -- an e-mail saying the officers decided to use the Taser
before confronting the Polish immigrant?
If true, the Nov. 5, 2007, e-mail titled "Media strategy -- release of the
YVR video," from RCMP Chief Supt. Dick Bent to assistant
commissioner Al McIntyre, establishes the four have been lying through
their teeth.
This critical document suggests the four officers committed perjury and
that senior officers sat silent while they did so. Worse, it seems there are
many other documents that have not been turned over that may be
relevant.
This e-mail was one of 260 documents on a CD sent by the RCMP to the
justice department last April, yet the federal lawyers didn't open the CD
until last week.
Last week? Evidence delivered in April didn't get opened until last week?
What?
31
Helen Roberts had every reason to be in tears Friday as she apologized to
the public inquiry into Dziekanski's death for failing to disclose what
appears to be not just germane but also startlingly important evidence.
If Roberts had cried over Dziekanski mother's pain, I would be moved --
but a veteran lawyer wet-eyed over another screw-up in this case? I think
they were crocodile tears.
Commissioner William Elliott's carefully parsed press release was equally
unbelievable: "This was simply an oversight. Unfortunately in an exercise
of this magnitude, such an oversight can occur."
Bollocks. No one but a moron overlooks the import of an e-mail like this.
The officers deny the explosive content is true and Roberts says Bent was
wrong in what he said. But their protestations ring hollow after almost 18
months of bluster and denial. So does Elliott's threadbare these-things-
happen excuse.
The situation is as bad as the most virulent critics of the Mounties feared.
This is no longer about four officers who made mistakes in judgment: It's
about an organization that thinks it is above the law.
"I find this delay in disclosing it to the commission appalling," an upset
Braidwood said. "The contents of this e-mail goes to the heart of this
inquiry's work."
Exactly.
Braidwood says his inquiry will resume on Sept. 22 after commission
lawyers have time to review the e-mail, conduct an investigation and
perhaps call the senior Mounties to testify about the document.
I think not.
There was a time when I thought Oct. 14, 2007 was the day that would
live in the annals of RCMP infamy, but June 19, 2009 has eclipsed the
tragedy of Dziekanski's death.
On Friday, a country's faith in a once proud, once revered institution died.
We have left the realm of how to regulate Taser use and the circumstances
of Dziekanski's death and entered the world of criminal conduct -- which
is beyond Braidwood's provincially rooted authority to investigate.
32
If we needed any prod to reopen the decision not to prosecute these
officers, we now have been given it.
It is time to thank commissioner Braidwood for his excellent work in
bringing these unsettling facts to light and it's time to appoint a special
prosecutor.
The B.C. Law Society should also begin an investigation into the conduct
of Roberts and any other federal lawyer involved in this staggering lack of
disclosure.
That was not an "oversight." It was professional incompetence or a cover-
up.

Suggests Mounties planned to deploy Taser before they arrived at YVR,
contrary to their testimony
A shocking e-mail found last week brought the Braidwood inquiry to a
sudden halt Friday and may result in the most senior RCMP officers in
B.C. being required to testify.
The e-mail, sent by RCMP Chief Supt. Dick Bent to Assistant
Commissioner Al Macintyre suggested for the first time that the four
Mounties who responded to a call at Vancouver's airport planned to use a
Taser on Robert Dziekanski, who died at the airport on Oct. 14, 2007,
after he was Tasered five times.
Under the subject line "Media Strategy - Release of YVR video," the e-
mail, dated Nov. 5, 2007, said: "Finally spoke to [Supt.] Wayne [Rideout]
and he indicated that the members did not articulate that they saw the
symptoms of excited delirium, but instead had discussed the response en
route and decided that if he did not comply that they would go to CEW
[conducted energy weapon]."
Lawyers for the four RCMP officers involved in the fatal incident said
Friday their clients deny they formulated a plan to use a Taser on
Dziekanski.
The officers testified at the inquiry they arrived in separate police cars and
had no discussion beforehand.
Alex Pringle, a lawyer representing Rideout, who was in charge of
investigating Dziekanski's death, appeared at the inquiry Friday and read a
34
statement from his client, which said Bent's e-mail was in error. Pringle
said it was a "misunderstanding of a conversation I had with him."
Lawyer Helen Roberts, who represents the RCMP at the inquiry, offered a
tearful apology to inquiry commissioner Thomas Braidwood, a retired
judge, for not disclosing the e-mail sooner.
She also said Bent was mistaken in his e-mail and that the officers did not
plan to use the Taser. She offered to have senior Mounties testify.
"I find this delay in disclosing it to the commission appalling," Braidwood
said. "The contents of this e-mail goes to the heart of this inquiry's work."
The e-mail will have to be investigated and further hearings may be
required, the commissioner said.
He ordered the inquiry adjourned until Sept. 22. The delay was due to
summer plans already made by many of the lawyers involved in the
inquiry, he added.
Friday was supposed to be the start of final submissions by lawyers
representing various parties, including the four Mounties involved in the
in-custody death.
Commission counsel Art Vertlieb told the inquiry that the new e-mail was
disclosed Tuesday by lawyers for the federal justice department, which
represents the RCMP.
"It should have been disclosed much, much sooner ... months and months
ago," Vertlieb later told reporters, adding he was "upset and frustrated" by
the last-minute disclosure.
He said he didn't know whether the RCMP disclosed the e-mail to Crown
counsel before a decision was made that no criminal charges were
warranted against the four officers.
Vertlieb told the inquiry that the Bent e-mail was among 260 documents
on a CD sent by the RCMP to the justice department in April, just before
RCMP media relations officers testified at the inquiry about the botched
handling of information released to the media in the days after
Dziekanski's death.
He said the federal lawyers didn't open the CD until last week, discovering
the Bent e-mail and other documents.
35
"It's a stunning turn of events," Don Rosenbloom, the lawyer representing
the government of Poland at the inquiry, told reporters after the
commissioner ordered the three-month adjournment.
"The documents that have just come to our attention include a critical e-
mail from very high up in the RCMP chain of command, disclosing that
the officers decided in a premeditated way, en route to the scene, to use
the Taser if Mr. Dziekanski did not comply."
Rosenbloom said the 11th-hour disclosure "is totally inconsistent with
testimony given under oath" and goes to the heart of the issue of police
fabrication.
During the hearing, he said, "we were alleging [the four Mounties] were
fabricating their story."
Dziekanski's mother told reporters she was surprised and angry about the
e-mail being released so late. She suggested there had been a "coverup."
"This is the kind of evidence someone should have known would have
important consequences," said Walter Kosteckyj, the lawyer representing
Dziekanski's mother at the inquiry.
He said he had spent the last two weeks preparing his final arguments for
the inquiry, only to find not all the evidence has been heard.
David Butcher, the lawyer representing Const. Bill Bentley, one of the
four Mounties involved in the in-custody death, said Bent's e-mail was
hearsay and not credible evidence.
"The chief superintendent is simply wrong," he said.
The late disclosure of the e-mail was the result of an oversight, RCMP
Commissioner William Elliott said in a statement issued Friday.
"We have produced thousands of documents to our legal counsel for their
review and for them to transmit all relevant material to the commission,"
Elliott said, pointing out that it was the RCMP that brought the Bent e-
mail to the attention of the inquiry commissioner on Friday.
"Commissioner Braidwood was informed that a specific document was not
provided and he himself accepted the government of Canada's sincere
apologies for this oversight," Elliott's statement said.
36
"The RCMP wants all of the facts surrounding this tragic event to be
known so that we can learn as much as possible and make any further
required changes to the RCMP's policies and practices."
B.C. Attorney-General Mike de Jong said he was concerned about the new
development.
"The possibility that new evidence may be emerging at this late date is
troubling, and I'm sure very troubling for the commission itself," he said.
"Commissions of this sort, and really our system of justice, rely on all
witnesses who give evidence under oath to provide truthful and honest
answers."
Whether the testimony in the Dziekanski inquiry has been truthful will be
up to Braidwood to decide, de Jong said. It will be up to Braidwood to
assess the new evidence and determine its relevance before making his
findings, he said, adding that it was too early to comment on the possible
fallout from Friday's events.
The attorney-general said it would be premature to comment on whether
criminal charges against the four officers should be reconsidered.
"I'm not going to rule anything in or out. I am going to wait with keen
interest for Mr. Braidwood's report."
Dziekanski, who spoke no English, had travelled for 24 hours from Poland
and spent about 10 hours at the airport, unable to find his mother, who
went home to Kamloops after being told by officials that her son couldn't
be found.
The 40-year-old man eventually started throwing around furniture,
prompting a bystander to call 911.
Seconds after four Mounties arrived, Dziekanski was Tasered. He died at
the scene.

In the car on the way to the airport as revealed in an email the government
finally revealed on what was supposed to be the last day of the Braidwood
Commission.
And you thought the RCMP's behavior couldn't look any worse.
This e-mail was one of 260 documents on a CD sent by the RCMP to the
justice department last April, yet the federal lawyers didnt open the CD until last week.
Last week? Evidence delivered in April didnt get opened until last week?
What?
Helen Roberts had every reason to be in tears Friday as she apologized to
the public inquiry into Dziekanskis death for failing to disclose what appears to be not just germane but also startlingly important evidence.
If Roberts had cried over Dziekanski mothers pain, I would be moved but a veteran lawyer wet-eyed over another screw-up in this case? I think
they were crocodile tears.
Commissioner William Elliotts carefully parsed press release was equally unbelievable: This was simply an oversight. Unfortunately in an exercise of this magnitude, such an oversight can occur.
Bollocks. No one but a moron overlooks the import of an e-mail like this.
The officers deny the explosive content is true and Roberts says Bent was
wrong in what he said. But their protestations ring hollow after almost 18
months of bluster and denial. So does Elliotts threadbare these-things-happen excuse.
38
The situation is as bad as the most virulent critics of the Mounties feared.
This is no longer about four officers who made mistakes in judgment: Its about an organization that thinks it is above the law.
39
Chapter 8 [One could go on and on about the RCMP cowards who
tasered Robert Dziekanski to death but lets look at some other RCMP cowards who tasered an 82 year old man in the hospital what cowards?]
As cited: Given the RCMP use of deadly force, on innocent people, example Mr D. at Vancouver airport, and the 82 years old man in the hospital ... the question to ask
now is why they did not force the issue with the murderer on the bus?1
What cowardly case is this, where the RCMP would taser a frail, 82 year old man in
his hospital bed what skunks?
As cited, in May 2008, at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, an RCMP officer used a taser on 82 year old Frank Lasser while he was in his
hospital bed. He was reportedly delirious and wielding a knife.
Yep, theres the RCMP theyve got this 82 year old guy dead-to-rights he cant move!
Way to go RCMP, youve got your man!
Job well done eh boys?
This is something you can sure brag about over your next donut run?
As further cited, according to CBC News, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), responded to a call at the Royal Inland Hospital after a
delirious patient pulled a knife on a nurse. The man was back in bed when
the RCMP arrived and they tasered him in his bed.2
Frank Lasser, 82, was in the hospital with pneumonia. Because of a previous heart surgery, he is required to carry oxygen at all times and
Lasser told CBC News that he becomes delusional when he cannot breathe
properly, which is what he says happened on Saturday.3
"I was laying on the bed by then and the corporal came in, or the sergeant,
I forget which it was, and said to the guys, 'OK, get him because we got
more important work to do on the street tonight,'" Lasser said.4
"And then, bang, bang, bang, three times with the taser, and I tell you, I
never want that again."5
If this wasnt so sad it would be comical?
What is that comic police force called oh, yes the Keystone Cops?
40
That what these idiot RCMP officers were in this situation -- Keystone Cops?
Lasser, who is an ex-prison guard, believes that the three RCMP Mounties
could have "easily" handled him without the taser and he asserts, "They
could have gone in there and taken an old man without any trouble at all."6
As further emphasized, Frank Lasser, 82, says RCMP officers could have subdued him without resorting to using a Taser gun.7
Frank Lasser, 82, appeared fragile Thursday when he showed the Taser marks on his body and talked about the ordeal he went through
Saturday.8
"They [police] should have known I had bypass surgery," Lasser told CBC
News.9
Heres a couple more stories about these big, brave RCMP?
As cited in B.C. police charged after Taser used on man 73, a Taser was used on a 73-year-old man, resulting in charges against a Mountie from Surrey in connection with a 73-year-old man who was jolted with a Taser after being arrested under the Mental Health Act.10
The incident happened in April when police responded to a call of a man with a knife causing a disturbance at a home. The man was taken to
hospital, where he was stunned once by an RCMP Taser and suffered
facial injuries, police said.11
Thats it, wait till the guy is restrained in hospital and then taser him?
In another incident, as ited in Coquitlam RCMP officers charged with
assault, the incident allegedly occurred last June 17, when Const. Marko Duran, 38, and Const. Trevor Doylend, 33, were conducting a radar speed
trap on Prairie Avenue in Port Coquitlam.12
The officers flagged a vehicle over and were issuing a ticket when an altercation ensued. The driver was removed from his vehicle by Duran,
with assistance by Doylend, police said.13
In reviewing the file, the officers' supervisor had some concerns about the arrest and reviewed an audio/videotape of the incident from the camera
inside the police cruiser.14
A criminal investigation was then launched, resulting in an assault charge being laid against both officers.15
41
No charges were recommended against the driver, who did not file a complaint with police.16
In other words, the driver did nothing?
Incredibly, Doylend, who has four years of service, remains on duty with Coquitlam RCMP Traffic Services.17
Why?
So he can assault another motorist?
In one more incident, B.C. RCMP officer charged with assault, a B.C. Mountie appears in court next month to face a charge stemming from an
alleged 2008 assault.18
Const. Mike Cardinal, of the Ridge-Meadows RCMP detachment, is alleged to have assaulted a male during an arrest after several officers
responded to a report of a noisy party in the Metro Vancouver city of
Coquitlam Feb 21, 2008.19
The complainant claims Cardinal hit him on the face with a flashlight. The man was treated at the scene by paramedics and then taken to police
cells where he was later released without charge.20
Another case of the man doing nothing?
Cardinal, who has remained on active duty since the alleged assault, is scheduled to appear in court June 14.21
He's the second B.C. Mountie to face assault charges in a month after Const. Imran Saeed of Surrey was hit with a third assault charge related to
two incidents three months apart last year.22
They occurred while he was on duty and involve an accusation that Saeed assaulted a woman after he stopped her for a traffic violation.23
What about this nonsense?
As cited in RCMP will not probe allegations in B.C., although the RCMP in Terrace, B.C. face serious allegations from community members,
according to the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, the RCMP says it cannot
investigate allegations outlined in a B.C. Civil Liberties Association report
released Wednesday.24
42
Although the report cites numerous allegations of excessive force, racial profiling, and abuse of authority by RCMP in Terrace accounts of false arrest, assaults, illegal seizures and the use of "stress positions" on people
accused of being drunk ... the RCMP said it will not investigate the
claims.25
Thats it, dont look into any allegations that could make the RCMP look even worse than they are?
As if thats possible?

Chapter 9 [One could go on and on about the RCMP cowards who
tasered Robert Dziekanski to death but lets look at some other RCMP cowards who beat up a 70 year old woman what cowards?]
This is just too much now!
Ultimate thugs, anyone?
As cited, RCMP in Richmond, B.C., have denied using excessive force in the arrest of a 70-year-old woman on the weekend. Henriette Durand said
she was mistreated by one of four officers who arrived at her home
investigating a 911 call about a possible disturbance involving someone
threatening another person with a knife.1
Ms. Durand suffered bruises to her right arm when an officer took her down and put handcuffs on her after the police had entered her home.2
In another report of his despicable behavior by the RCMP, seventy-year-old grandmother Henriette Durand says she has felt the long arm of the
law and has the bruises to prove it. They just threw me on the floor, face down, hands behind my back, handcuffed, Durand told The Province Wednesday at her home.
3
Durand says she feels lucky police didnt try to subdue her with a Taser gun otherwise, I just might be dead.4
She was escorted to a cell at the Richmond detachment for about three hours, then spent several more hours in the emergency room at Richmond
Hospital having her injuries patched up, she says.5
Richmond RCMP could not be reached for comment.6
Durand, who is an instructor in non-violent crisis intervention and has four
university degrees, took her complaint to the B.C. Civil Liberties
Association: Theres really no recourse for this woman, except by bringing it to the public and publicly shaming the RCMP.7
Better watch it if you are a female with these guys?
For example, as cited in B.C. grandma's licensed grow-op busted by
RCMP, a 62-year-old woman from the Castlegar, B.C. area says RCMP raided and damaged her property and hauled her to jail even though she
has a licence to grow marijuana.8
Thats it boys, another old lady at your mercy?
45
What a brave lot?
Velma Mullaney said that despite a Health Canada permit that allows her to grow 98 plants, police showed up at her rural home last month, kicked
in the doors, cut off her electricity and confiscated her marijuana.9
The officer in charge refused to look at her permit or count the plants, the grandmother said.10
Maybe he couldnt read?
Maybe he couldnt count?
"He kept saying, 'You are way over in plants,'" Mullaney said. "I said, 'Get
those guys to go in and count them and you'll see everything is legal.' And
he kept saying, 'You are way over and you are going to jail.'"11
Mullaney was taken to jail and later released. No charges have been laid.12
Ah, another one who didnt do anything?
Her lawyer, Don Skogstad, said "It is one thing to believe you have
grounds for illegal activity," Skogstad said. "But once you get there and
you can see how many [plants] there are and know about the licences, why
don't you just leave?"13
What fun is that for the RCMP?
Gosh darn, pass up a chance at harassing an old lady?
Not on your life?
He said Mullaney may sue the RCMP for damages and file an official
complaint ... RCMP would not comment on the case.14

Chapter 10 [Weve looked at the cowardly RCMP tasering Robert Dziekanski to death, and tasering an 82 year old man, and beating up
a 70 year old woman lets look at the other extreme RCMP taser 11 year old boy what cowards?]
Who are the hair-brained RCMP recruiters that chose this quick-draw guy who tasered an 11 year old child?
Thats the issue police forces and the provinces child watchdog is grappling with after the RCMP used the weapon on an 11-year-old boy.2
Officials say the boy, who is believed to be the youngest person ever Tasered in Canada, was living in a group home at the time of the incident,
which occurred last Thursday. The Taser is designed to incapacitate a
person by delivering a high voltage up to 50,000 volts of electrical pulse into the target.3
Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, the B.C. governments independent representative for children and youth, said ... These are young people and to have police show up and use the Taser, these are things not associated
with a good outcome, said Turpel-Lafond. This is not the way conflicts should be defused.4
Then, again, maybe this guy didnt like Natives, as asked:
Many people have said there is an intrinsic prejudice towards Canadian Natives by many RCMP officers.5
A human rights group says it would be tough to justify using a stun gun on a child and it's concerned about such a case in B.C.6
"When you have someone with very low body mass and hearts that are
still developing and these kinds of things then the concern that we have is
that if you don't know what the outcome the device is going to have,
including death, then it really should be a last resort," he said.7
The question should be asked: Who was the hair-brained RCMP psychologist that passed this quick-draw RCMP officer?

Chapter 11 [Cowardly RCMP taser 11 year old Native boy Many people have said there is an intrinsic prejudice towards Canadian
Natives by many RCMP officers now they are going to kill us?]
The tasering of an 11 year old child by the cowardly RCMP raised an
interesting question:
Many people have said there is an intrinsic prejudice towards Canadian Natives by many RCMP officers.1
Lets explore that angle?
There may be some truth to that statement.
Apparently, if given the chance, they would rather shoot to kill?
As cited, later in the summer of 1995, Secwepemc traditionalists at Gustafsen Lake (TsPeten) mounted an armed defence of a sun dance ceremony from racist White ranchers who were threatening and
intimidating those at the Sun Dance camp [see Appendix 4 & 5, cited below].
This conflict spiraled into a month long siege of the camp by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).2
With military assistance and equipment, including land mines and nine armoured personnel carriers, 450 RCMP followed shoot-to-kill orders,
using 70,000 rounds of ammunition against the Secwepemc defenders.3
A significant element of the RCMPs strategy was tight control over the media to facilitate a smear campaign against the defenders, as described in RCMP training videos.4
The Gustafsen Lake standoff was particularly important because of the defenders strong stance on asserting their indigenous sovereignty, their
control of their territory and their independence from the bureaucracy of
the Canadian state and its Indian Act band councils.5

k&gl=ca
The Secwepemc peoples resistance to colonization is rooted in their spirituality, which is based on the balance brought by the Creator and his
helper, Coyote. The lessons handed down by the Coyote discouraged
greed and disrespectful behaviour amongst the Secwepemc and reinforced
the Secwepemc peoples connection to their land. But the invasion of European fur traders disrupted the balance of Secwepemc life, as it took
time away from hunting, fishing and food gathering.
In 1812, David Stuart of the American Pacific Fur Company built Fort
Shuswap at the site of the present-day town of Kamloops. That same year,
Joseph Laroque of the Montreal-based North West Company established a
trading post across the river from the fort, where the Kamloops reserve
would later be established. These were the first colonial outposts within
the territory of the Secwepemc Nation. The North West Company bought
out American Pacific in 1813, and Fort Shuswap was renamed Fort
Kamloops. By 1821, the North West Company was absorbed by the
British Hudsons Bay Company (HBC). The HBC further consolidated their control of Secwepemc territory with Fort Alexandria, opened in
1821, and Little Fort, built in 1851.
Under a Royal Charter, the HBC was responsible for trade regulations,
settlement and governance. The company had the military backing of
Royal Navy gunboats, while also maintaining its own security force. The
wealthy businessmen of the HBC quickly established private enterprises
such as mines, sawmills, and canneries, and sold land to settlers to pay for
the construction of roads, ports and other infrastructure.
As animal populations declined, many Secwepemc became dependant on
the fur trade for survival. Periods of starvation hit the Secwepemc in 1822,
1827, and throughout the 1840s and 1850s. Many Secwepemc children
died in a 1927 whooping cough outbreak.
Throughout this phase of colonization, the HBC sent annual gifts of tobacco to Secwepemc chiefs to dissuade them from waging war on the
company. These chiefs often became businessmen themselves. At least
52
two Secwepemc chiefs saw the damage the fur trade was doing and urged
a boycott. Secwepemc warriors took a direct approach, regularly attacking
fur traders property and robbing Hudsons Bay employees. In 1826, Fort Kamloops was burned to the ground by indigenous insurgents. It was
rebuilt with a fence by the Hudsons Bay Company in 1843, only to come under renewed attacks.
In 1841, Samuel Black, the chief factor of Fort Kamloops, was killed by a
Secwepemc named Kikoskin, who blamed Black for the death of his
uncle, Chief Tranquille. The HBC then sought to impose British law on
the Secwepemc by punishing Kikoskin, going so far as to steal
Secwepemc horses and kidnap one of Kikos
