Christ wept.
I'd love to see a Canadian reporter interview these RCMP Mounties and ask them this:
'Officers, you do realize that you will all three be referred to as "Constable Cowardly *****" for the rest of your careers, do you not?'- PolarBearCa, on 06/02/2008, -0/+1Dudley Dowrong?

Seriously, I don't THINK they could take candy from a baby, if they can't figure out a better way to get a pocket knife out of a delirious, post surgical bed bound 82 year old man's hand do they really have anywhere left to go.
Canada need a Florida tag for BC I think, this is really like WTF!
