You may or may not recall the story of a young man – Tim McLean – stabbed, beheaded and partially eaten by one Vincent Li, while riding on a Greyhound bus near Portage la Prairie, Manitoba on July 29, 2008.

At some point during the feast, and after the bus had come to a halt on the side of the road out in the middle of the bald prairie, the beloved RCMP swat team arrived, decked out in their combat finest. The perimeter was secured – against what I’m unsure, since to my knowledge gophers, deer and pheasant are unarmed – and then the Brave Mounties proceeded to sit outside the bus for over four hours while witnessing Mr. Li consume the various parts of  Tim McLean that tickled his palate.

Brave Mounties occasionally radioed reports back to somewhere, describing the night’s dining delight and entertainment thusly:

Badger is at the back of the bus hacking off pieces and eating it.

No word on whether there was dessert.

Eventually Li exited the bus through a window and fell nearly on top of several Brave Mounties, who had no choice but to finally subdue and arrest the satiated monster. A taser was involved, but apparently the dinner theater performer escaped unfazed — so to speak.

Vincent Li was later committed to a mental institution.

Tim McLean’s parents are suing the Brave Mounties who attended and the RCMP.

All the grisly details are here – not for the faint of heart.

As the Braidwood Inquiry into the death of Robert Dziekanski at the hands of RCMP Goon Squad members in the Vancouver airport progresses, Canadians continue to witness the spectacle of four more mounties goons dragging their beleaguered police force Goon Squad into further disrepute. Time after time, the four Brave Mounties have testified to staggering brutality, ignorance, stupidity and false bravado while defending themselves against a man with a stapler.

They testified that they failed to recall their training, even though a mere three months had elapsed since that training had occurred.

To further aggravate the situation, RCMP management — is there such a thing? — failed to make policy changes and improvements in the use of tasers, even when directed to do so by a House of Commons committee. Surely the RCMP Management Goons™ could forsee a time when their policy on taser use would be called into question — couldn’t they? And if they couldn’t, then obviously the goons of management had their heads so far up their red-serge-covered asses as to be completely unrecognizable as actual management.

Day after day at the Braidwood Inquiry, new revelations continue to surface regarding the stupidity of a once-revered police force, such revelations helping to further lead the goon squad mounties to complete and utter disrepute.
