I saw 2 RCMP changing a flat tire for a young mother yesterday, she stopped in a bad place with a van full of kids. I suppose they could have had her towed, but they positioned their cars to make it safe, activated the lights, she got down on her knees and proceed to get her hands dirty instead. ![[B-o]](./images/smilies/drinkup.gif "Drink up")
That won't likely make the news. Not sexy enough.
Edited for newsworthiness.
(sarcasm - this is how they do it at the New York Times.)

No, the News Folk would be happier if it was a scandal and there was some juicy negative story. A good story isn't what they consider newsworthy.
Yes, I am very cynical about the news reporting industry.

So changing a tire for someone in a bad area of town eh? SO all the while doing this there was a drug deal going down around the corner, assault in the bar down the street, car being jacked a few blocks over. They likely missed all these during the time they spent fixing that tire, they should be fired, tarred and feathered for negligence of duty.
Actually its more likely (based on some people's views of cops) they were just hoping to grope or sexually assault her. Maybe just wanted to look in her trunk to check illegally for drugs or something.
Just goes to show you, all cops are scum!

Actually I thought it was a hell of a gesture, oh and we don't have any bad area's in town, she stopped on an off ramp of the QE 2 in a blind spot at the start of a turning lane.

I think he was being facetious. As in, it don't matter what the police do, some cop hater will always bitch about it.

A Classic deflection tactic By someone who is unwilling to admit To the downfall of the RCMP.
Here in British Columbia ,Just in the last six months We have had two Heads of detachments staff sergeants I believe One in Merit And one in Nanaimo stealing money and cocaine out of evidence lockers..........and how many innocent people were convicted by them tampering with evidence
these two crooked arrogant fools will probably get a 10 day suspension and a transfer also.........
You have to be a Fool not understand the severe malfunction in an organization that this occurs in..............if the bosses and management are crooked , the employees are learning how to be crooked to

I lost all faith in the RCMP when they dropped their enlistment standards so low that every unqualified, man, woman, minority and undersized half wit could join up and pass their politically correct training standards.
Dayseed @ Tue Aug 07, 2012 5:05 pm
I don't actually understand the premise. Do I have faith in individual officers? Yes, until given evidence to the contrary about the officer with which I'm dealing. Do I have faith in their management? No, I think the brass is either enslaved to the government in power or is all to happy to mouth-honk them for political favour.
But then, that's like every organization. I think the employee working the till at Tommy Hilfiger is a decent person, but do the brass at Tommy care about the Indonesian slave-boy who stitched 10,000 pairs of jeans before his first cigarette break?
