Wait for it...here it comes......

I heard on the news today they had 3 different tips about that car coming in from the same area (PG) and also tips about the car from all over the west, from Victoria to Ottawa.

[sarcasm] Absolutely shitty police work [/sarcasm]

[Benn]

Well you know Brenda the police are busy with other important things. There is beating down innocent people as well as all that covering their asses so they get off easy when they get caught breaking the law. Who has time for finding missing old people?


(just in case someones missed my past posts this is sarcasm as well)

There was also an 82 yr old lad who survived two days sitting in and beside her car off the side of the road in Southern BC. She was found after her relatives rented a helicopter and searched for her.
It's because the bulk of RCMP these days are under 35. You know how that generation works.
"We've looked everywhere!!!"
But you never saw so much as their neck move.
If you don't know that, you should. We raised them!

Its better than being the generation famous for 'we have a problem, ignore it until it becomes a crisis just in time for the next generation to take over for us'


If we don't know that, we should, we were being raised by them.


Yeah, I can play the blame another generation game too.

I did find it strange reading an article in the local paper about some tipsters. Apparently they came to the PG RCMP station to report seeing the vehicle and the police were now asking them to come back in.

You had people report seeing a vehicle belonging to a missing couple and you couldn't even be bothered to take the witnesses name?

First of all I've been working my ass of from the time I was 18 until now, 35, thanks very much.

Second 35 and under actually has two generations fall into it, Gen X and Gen Y (or its other terms).

I like the one comment about ignoring problems and leaving them for us though.

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:

It's so excellent that it's usually the people who won't be here in 50 years that are fucking those next 50 years up.

Sure, and your turn will come to do the same, Grasshopper. When you can snatch the minivan keys from my hand, it will be time for you to go.

Well shit, I wasn't going to get into it again, this isn't really on my radar. But, from an ex RCMP:

$1:

"It has been a banquet of mistakes, of laziness, of unprofessional conduct — and two lives are in the balance here," said Bill Pitt, an Edmonton-based criminologist, law enforcement instructor and former Mountie.

"I think just about every protocol I'm aware of as far as investigation is concerned has been missed, sloughed off or tried to be explained in some ridiculous fashion.

"It's a blown investigation from beginning to end. Completely blown."

$1:

Pitt worked for the RCMP in the Maritimes before moving to the classroom. He has trained a thousand police recruits in Texas and Montana, taught criminal investigative procedures for local and state police in the United States, and worked with such bodies as the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. He now teaches at Edmonton's Grant MacEwan University.

$1:

The signs were there, he said: an expensive motorhome torched in the bush with a hitch but no vehicle behind it, owned by a law-abiding elderly couple that now couldn't be located.

"There was no instinctive reaction by police officers," said Pitt.

"The whole forensics of that crime scene were adulterated, ignored or sloughed off as just another burnt vehicle down that road.

"Nothing fit from the get-go. And to wait five days for the formal process of a missing persons form to cross your desk before you do anything is a disgrace."
