Plus, the Quebecois have had their fair share of corruption and scandals within their politics for quite some time now. The RCMP don't give a crap about politics from what I know about them. The RCMP are some of the most highly regarded national police forces in the world. Their internal standards are very, very high, and they only chose the highest quality individuals to even begin training. One of my very good friends is an RCMP officer and from what he has told me regarding the culture of the force they sound like the most dependable and honourable of people available in our society. We should consider ourselves extremely lucky that the RCMP are who they are and not some haphazard corrupt group trying to cut corners and use violence to get a quick resolution to events like this one.

Thanks for the laughs. The RCMP have a proud history of acting like dirtbags and thugs.
