In 1932 Canada was mired in our last great depression. Just like now Canada was hobbled by having a conservative government. R.B Bennett was Prime Minister. Groups of young men all over the country were out of work and looking for work. Bennett realized that these young men might be easy pickings for communist rabble rousers. He decided he would put them to work in work camps. These camps were set up all over the country. Men received three square meals and 2o cents a day. The men who worked there called them slave camps and needless to say weren't very happy about living conditions and their 20 cents a day. Ironically communist organisers now found they had a captive audience of men who were quite open to their message. By 1935 some camp workers in BC had had enough. A large group of more than a thousand men climbed aboard a freight train and told whoever would listen that they were going to Ottawa to present their problems to R.B. Bennett himself. Bennett thought the group would run out of steam before they got out of the mountains but instead they only picked up more and more unemployed men. By the time they reached Calgary Bennett knew he had a problem. Bennett was from Calgary and decided he didn't want a confrontation in his home town so Regina was chosen as the place he would deal with these men.
When the trekkers, as they were called got off the train in Regina to stretch their legs Bennett's men took over the train and refused to allow the men back on. The men were also unable to leave Regina. They would be going to a special work camp built for them in Saskatchewan. The men wanted no part of this plan. After a contingent of trekkers met in Ottawa with Bennett and were unable to come to an agreement the trekkers decided to stage a protest. Many locals also attended. At this point in our little tail Bennett decided to bring in the RCMP. Can anyone guess what happened next? If you said,"RCMP thugs go on a beating spree" you go to the head of the class. You bet they moved in and you bet they beat down as many homeless poor trekkers as they could. To their credit these men fought back and injured over 40 of these storm trooping pigs.
Now I don't know if this is the first time the RCMP beat down a bunch of innocent people but it sure wasn't the last. Fast forward to 2009 and things sure haven't changed much. I'm not going to bother documenting any of the thousands of examples of RCMP officers acting like fascist cunts because who has the time. Just google "RCMP brutality" and you will be surprised at the never ending list of examples. A couple of my favorites include the pepper spraying of protesters on Jean Chretien's orders at the WTO meetings in Vancouver and that clown who shot a teenager last year in custody because he allegedly struggled with him. The boy by the way was arrested for drinking a beer outside a hockey rink. I can't think of a more Canadian activity.
The RCMP have always been the bad guy's and have always done way more harm than good but things have really moved into the surreal since the advent of Tasers. The people who make tasers can sue me all they want but I will say it straight up. TASERS KILL PEOPLE!!!! Any one who doesn't get that or thinks the police use them instead of guns to save lives is a fuckin retard. Police use tasers for exactly one reason. Immediate compliance. This is the exact reason they are not supposed to use them for but I assure you it is the only reason police use them.
The fact that we live in a world wear cops are even allowed to use tasers is beyond comprehension. It must have something to do with all the right wing, cop loving, protester hating American wanna be, backward pig, dickheads who live in this country. People who think the police are nothing but hero's who never lie. People who have yet to operate their fucking brains.
This brings me to the final and most horrible part of this legacy of fascism. The Vancouver taser death of polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski. Anyone who has seen the video know that every word of testimony uttered by those RCMP cocks was an outright lie. It's to bad we don't have video of everybody who's ever been murdered by tasers because than some of you might understand that the police lie every fuckin time. These are not outta control violent people, the cops still shoot those people every fucking chance they get. The cops use tasers on everybody who doesn't move fast enough for them and they use them on a fuckin whim. It got even worse this week. As a result of the inquiry into Mr. Dziekanski's murder the RCMP are supposed to change their policy on tasers. And what was their absolute, biggest balls I've ever scene in my life response? They changed their policy all right, actually dropping some of the restrictions instead of adding more. What unmitigated fucking balls. These clowns are laughing at us. They are not gonna give up their compliance weapon with out a fight no matter how many people have to die.
I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to the family of Mr. Dziekanski and the people of Poland. I'm sorry this happened. I'm sorry about the way the cops made things worse by lying and trying to blame the victim and I'm sorry we have so many conservative pigs in this country that we can't do something as simple has keeping killing machines out of the hands of Nazi cops.
There was a time when I would have only said ban the taser, but this whole sad affair has made me come to only one conclusion, end the RCMP. When the law thinks it's above the law it's time for them to fucking go. They shoulda been gone since 1935. Ask a trekker.
