Absolutely shameful
RCMP admits error, orders probe into slaying of Fredericton professor (CBC)
So, basically the RCMP have been lying to the public about this one -- for like a week. Brillant.
In St. John's, the RNC whisked away a prof immediately after they were alerted to an anonymous threat against his/her life (no report that I've read actually mentioned which prof was threatened), something like 10 minutes after the threat was posted. Meanwhile, our national police force was in extended contact with McKendy and his family about their troubles with his soon-to-be killer, including death threats, and it wasn't acted on. Ever. They were denying that McKendy and his family had made any allegations of threats up until today.
What can peaceful, law-abiding citizens do when the people charged with their protection fail them so completely? Why do we have police at all if they can allow something like this to happen inspite of prior warning?
