are these the same members that won't enforce the law when it comes to Indians?

oooo yes, hard question I know. Granted some of these allegations are likely ludicrous and I do believe 99% of the police are honest and make decisions based on available information...well most of the time.

Same thing in Winnipeg or Regina recently. "Da evil white man took me on a starlight tour" "so how come the GPS in the squad car doesn't show it leaving the area?" Bada Bing.

uuu be care there andyt, the Saskatoon cops DID take a guy on a ride and dump him out of town. Those officers were found guilty if my memory serves, so..a little bit of consideration.

we had that happen on Halloween when I was in high school. There was no stink or inquest over the cops doing it to white kids.

I agree ShepherdsDog..but...it's those 'fragile' Indians we talking about now. You know the same nomadic peoples that KILLED everything and everyone they encountered. Yes those same peaceful, innocent victims.

/note the sarcasm in my response

That was some time ago. Thougt it was Winnipeg actually, and was a common practice at one time til one of the victims froze to death. Now we seem to be getting a spate of bullshit claims. Just like all the native women in northern BC claiming to have been raped/abused by the cops, but none of them have filed a complaint. What are the cops supposed to do if you won't come forward with the allegation?

Yeah they did it to a friend of mine. With me, they just beat the crap out of me when I was around 16 and left me there bleeding. Probably precipitated by the fact that I took a swing at one. Still, the scars healed and I learned a valuable lesson--don't provoke the cops; you are never, ever going to win. Wish I had have applied the lesson to bar bouncers too. Had to learn that one separately.

I learned never to make a cop run. That really seems to piss them off Pricks drove me to the jail where my dad was getting off shift

I do agree with your comment, while I never had this type of experience with the police I do see it as a 'learning' experience. I guess I may be somewhat bitter at the general nature of society is turning as in towards, 'everyone wins', 'there are no losers' political correct BS. Sometimes a kid just needs a good smack, it may not be in fashion today but it did seem to work for ooo I don't know, GENERATIONS before???

A healthy respect for authority. The pendulum has gone too far the other way. Manual attitude adjustments aren't necessarily abuse

[raydan]

I'm honestly surprised I've never been beaten up by the police, had to run away from them or even arrested... blind luck I suppose.

you had a really quiet childhood?
