OTTAWA – The chief spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper is urging the RCMP to return guns seized from homes in flooded-out High River, Alta., and focus on other tasks instead.
RCMP officers, assisted by Canadian Forces personnel, have entered an unknown number of homes in the flood zone in High River that had been evacuated by their owners. A video made by the police shows them searching for pets, people or other hazardous items.
RCMP have said that if they found an unsecured firearm in the home, they seized it for safekeeping and plan to return it to the owner.

HIGH RIVER, AB – Oh, yes. Temperature rising. Oh, is it rising.
Then we hear about the guns.
With tensions on the edge anyone with two bits of sense to rub together can’t imagine a worse thing to hear.
The Mounties scoop “a large quantity of firearms” from homes in the near ghost town of High River while the population is kept out under an evacuation order.
The guns are now in the local cop shop and can be picked up when the proof of ownership is produced.
Premier Alison Redford defends the police as she stands Thursday afternoon in the Cargill plant north of this town of 13,000.
“I think what we need to understand is these are exceptional circumstances,” says the premier, adding the gun-snatching move was talked about for other places.
…
The word on the street, though not the High River streets which are empty, is some folks took their guns out of basement safes so they wouldn’t be damaged. Then they locked up their house.
The police and the army go in, search the houses and … gee whiz … they see the guns and take them out of the house the owner had to leave on orders of the government.
At this time, the authorities don’t contemplate any charges of unsafe storage.
As we begin to digest that nugget, we hear about the 50 or so trying to get into the part of town where the houses don’t look bad at all.
The Mounties and the citizens standoff. Angry words are exchanged as they are the day before at the Highway 2 exit. A spike belt is put down.
Spike belts are seen at other locations.
After the toe-to-toe Wednesday between the mayor and severely steaming citizens, the press are escorted by RCMP Thursday into the town to talk to officials. They say it is for our safety. We laugh.
It is the one place the people of High River cannot go.
The High River residents vow to try to walk into town Friday.
Then we hear from the Mounties about three people under cover of darkness breaching the police perimeter. They want to go home.
The trio are intercepted, arrested, detained and removed. Charges are possible.
The Mounties tell us they now have 160 officers in this town and have “created a security envelope around the community.”

“This is without precedent, this is unreasonable search and seizure,” said Ed Burlew, lawyer and firearms specialist in Ontario. “The
entry was illegal, it’s against the charter, it was unreasonable search and seizure. There’s no judge that would uphold the evidence obtained through an illegal entry into a person’s home.”
Political leaders say since there is an emergency, police should do what they have to do.
….
There is no special provision in the Criminal Code that allows the police to enter the homes of gun owners during a time of an emergency,” said Solomon Friedman, lawyer and firearms specialist in Ottawa. “The firearms act is often used by police as a pretext to gain access to private residences that they would not be able to gain access to, the ironic thing here is that if these people were convicted pedophiles the police would not be allowed to enter their homes without warrant, it’s kind of sad that gun owners have to fight for the same rights as any convicted criminals.”

FROM THE BEGINNING I SPECULATED THEY WOULD CONFISCATE GUNS (CONCLUSION)
Ever since I found out the flood happened and people got evacuated I started speculating that police officers would soon start confiscating guns like they did with other natural disasters in the U.S. I’ve read horror stories about forceful gun confiscation that happened in New Orleans- Hurricane Katrina and talks of doing it in New York- Hurricane Sandy. Police confiscating guns from legal gun owners and police shooting and killing civilians.
Published April 04, 2012
Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS – Five former New Orleans police officers were sentenced Wednesday to prison terms ranging from six to 65 years for their roles in deadly shootings of unarmed residents in the chaotic days after Hurricane Katrina, with the judge lashing out at prosecutors for two hours on their handling of the case.
Police shot six people at a bridge on Sept. 4, 2005, killing two, less than a week after Katrina made landfall. To make the shootings appear justified, officers conspired to plant a gun, fabricate witnesses and falsify reports.

Door to Door Gun Confiscation New Orleans:
The RCMP is not taking them by pointing guns at citizens, but they are forcefully taking guns from citizens by sneaking into their and not allow any of the citizens back into their neighbourhoods even though there are some places that are safe to go back to. It’s official, in the U.S and in Canada, under ‘emergency situations’ the police are allowed to do unreasonable seizure.

Another act of brutal violence reportedly by Syrian rebels has appeared on the web. Unverified video shows the beheading of 3 supposed government supporters. The title of the graphic footage suggests an orthodox Christian bishop was among the victims, although other reports claim he’d been shot dead in an assault on a monastery.

GEORGIA — In some Georgia counties, as well as all over the USA, drivers are getting their blood forcibly stolen from them. As shown in this video, every driver who refuses to give the police a blow, even for misdemeanor offenses, is strapped to a table, put into a headlock by a police officer, and their blood forcibly taken.

“We all are American citizens and you guys strapped me to a table like I’m in Guantanamo ****ing Bay!” said one victim of the vampiric policy.

3,500 Cops Who Want All Drugs to Be Legal
by Roc Morin
VICE United States
“Just so we’re clear,” began Peter Christ during our first phone conversation, “if you look in Webster’s Dictionary at the word hypocrite, you will see a picture of me. I believed that this drug war was a stupid fucking idea even before I became a cop.”
For 20 years Officer Christ patrolled the town of Tonawanda, New York, a community of 80,000 just outside of Buffalo. Retiring from the force in 1989 as a Captain, he founded Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, an organization of 3,500 former officers working towards the legalization of all drugs. I flew into Buffalo to join Peter for a drive around his old precinct and a discussion of drug policy. It was immediately clear which of the many idling cars in front of the arrivals hall was his. The license plate simply read: CHRIST.
We greeted one another and shook hands. “How did you beat all the Christians in the state of New York for that one?” I asked, pointing back towards the vanity plate.
The youthful 66 year old, with his ponytail and gold earring turned up his hands and grinned. “I was a cop,” he offered puckishly.
“OK, fair enough. Let’s talk about drugs.”
“My favorite topic.”
Peter drove as we talked.
“As an officer, what was your experience with the drug war?” I asked.
“I’ll tell you,” Peter began with a voice like a disc jockey – every word played for maximum effect. “By the time I was on the job four years, it became very evident to me that no matter how vigorously I or my brother and sister officers worked, it didn’t make any difference. We would have a series of burglaries or rapes in our community, somebody would arrest the burglar or the rapist, and for a while we wouldn’t have any more of those crimes. But no matter how many drug arrests we made, it didn’t make any difference. Because those people weren’t victims, they were willing participants in an economic transfer. It’s called business.”
“So, what’s your rationale for legalization?”
“Let me ask you, Roc,” he began, pausing dramatically “do you believe we can win the war on drugs?”
I took a breath.
He raised his hand. “Now, before you answer, let’s define what victory means. Nixon never told us what victory would look like when he declared this war, but it’s a war after all and we know how wars end – they end when you defeat the enemy. We won the Second World War. That means that we don’t fight the Germans or the Japanese or the Italians every six months, right? So, I’m gonna say, if we win the war on drugs, we’ve taken the words marijuana and heroin out of the dictionary. The drugs are gone. Let’s move on. Do you believe that is possible?”
“I don’t think so, Peter.”
“Right, and whenever I’m speaking at a Rotary Club or a Lion’s Club, and I ask the same question, not a hand goes up – nobody. I say, then let’s be honest. There will never be a drug-free America. Drugs are always going to be a part of our culture. So, the question becomes: Who do you want to control the marketplace – gangsters, thugs, and terrorists, or licensed businesspeople with regulation and control? That’s the only discussion we can have, and it’s the one we’re not having.”
“So, how did LEAP get started?” I asked.
“The idea for LEAP was based on a little group called Vietnam Veterans Against the War. I remember back in the early 70’s watching those people speak in front of an audience. Whether that audience agreed with their conclusion about the war or not, nobody had the audacity to look at them and say, ‘You don’t understand the problem.’ Back before LEAP, if you were going to have a debate about drug policy, at one podium would be the nun, the judge, or the cop, and at the other podium would be the crazy hippy who’d be saying, ‘Hey man, drugs are cool!’ It’s not hard to figure out where that debate is going to go. Let me give you a little example of how LEAP has changed that debate. If you want to put the current Drug Czar, a guy by the name of Kerlikowske, a former chief of police of Seattle, Washington at one podium… You know who we’re going to put on the other podium? A guy by the name of Norm Stamper, another former chief of police of Seattle, Washington. So, now it isn’t who are you going to believe, the hippy or the cop, but which police chief of Seattle, Washington are you going to believe?”
