Four RCMP officers killed after raid on Alta marijuana grow operation
Thu Mar 3, 5:35 PM ET
ROCHFORT BRIDGE, Alta. (CP) - Four RCMP officers were killed during a raid on a marijuana grow operation in northwestern Alberta on Thursday, a government source told The Canadian Press.
There had been confusion all day about the fate of the officers after the first reports that shots were fired during the raid near Rochfort Bridge, a village of about 60 people. Solicitor General Harvey Cenaiko had told reporters four officers were not responding to their radios and referred to "a very serious situation."
RCMP spokesman Cpl. Wayne Oakes confirmed that the officers were conducting an investigation at a rural residence. He said there was reason to believe a lone male suspect was armed with a high-powered rifle.
Oakes did not release any more information at the time, saying RCMP did not want to jeopardize the safety of their officers.
Another news conference was scheduled for later Thursday afternoon.
The lack of information earlier in the day led to were conflicting reports initially about what happened.

Alberta Premier Ralph Klein would not comment on the specifics, but said he was surprised and saddened that such a tragedy would occur in the quiet farming community, about 130 kilometres northwest of Edmonton.
"I would hope that it would serve as a lesson for all those who want to enter into something illegal not to do so," he said.
What an annoying oily dweeb 
Guess this corrupt policy genius hasn't stopped to think how if the phony "crime" was taken out of growing etc there would be no need for desperados to shoot people 
Ya that's right, knock another stiff one back Ralph.
Drunk in charge

Are you saying there was a "need" to shoot four law enforcement officers? What "need" would that have been? Please elucidate those of us who feel that killing these four officers was exactly what it appears to be, deliberate homicide.
As for spending your precious time worrying about the legalization of the drug in question, go right ahead. I'll spend mine thinking about the families and friends of the four dead members of the RCMP and the RCMP constables and chaplains who had to make the death notifications.
Had you ever been in the position of having to do what those notification officers and chaplains had to do, you would have some idea of what I am talking about. As it is, I'm certain you don't have a clue.
You never will. |

| In Canada too many large grow-ops these days are run by organized crime and gangs--Asian gangs in Ontario, no idea the driving force behind the ones in Alberta. It takes a fearless kind of scum to gun down multiple police officers--I hope their exit from this world is a painful one. |

No, that's not what i was trying to communicate. There was no need to shoot anybody. What is likely the case is that the officers were ambushed by an all too unstable individual who, for whatever reason, felt in their own mind the need to gun them down in cold blood & then promptly take his own life.
As we all know, police work is unfortunately rife with daily on the job hazzards, risks & dangers. What actually caused this person to snap & "go commando", God only knows.

Thanks General, i appreciate your permission in granting me the right.
While i'm not in any way "worried" about this incredible plant's current "legal" status in Canada, i WILL say that the greatest crime of all is that it IS "illegal"; people are punished by the state for growing, possessing & smoking what is essentially a gift of creation.
Ironically, corrupt & hypocritical whiskey-swigging legislators such as "Rudolph" Ralph Klein seem to possess greater wisdom than Creation itself

Yes, it's a terribly tragic day for the families & the nation.

When alcohol was prohibited it was the domain of violent criminals, too. If pot were legalised, regulated, and taxed, and firearms more difficult to get, this sort of thing wouldn't happen.
'They died trying to prevent Canadians from smoking pot'.
Some eulogy. What a waste of life. |

Sounds more like local officers acting on a tip off encountering some small scale guy who is totally whacked out. The dope growing might be incidental to this guys demons, whatever they are. But we'll find out for sure soon enough. |

Unfortunately, your attempt failed.
BTW, no one in the know, ever refers to a Marine as a, "soldier." This, no doubt, will require research on your part. |

I have zero respect for these grow op dealer types. They should get the max under the drug laws. They've terrorized alot of farmers in Quebec into letting them plant crops in between the corn....or else.
Just really sick tactics.
My brother has quite a bit of land back home....walking around on it one day he discovered a pot field...along with tripwires stuck to shotguns to "protect it". He hid out, caught a couple of the arseholes, and gave them a nice big can of whoopass before turning them in to the police. |

| Hopheads typically claim to be a mellow bunch, but the growers seem to be wound up more tightly than your typical crank addict. |

Ughhh... stupid pot-head drug addicts.
I wish they'd required drug tests for every teacher here. Then we'd "weed out" (pardon the pun) some of these goofballs. |

You are a very ignorant man. One of the brainwashed public who stands behind the law, no matter how arbitrary, backwards or conservative it is.
In the 1920's, you would have said the same thing about alcohol. You would have been part of the mob in the Salem witch hunt.
Fortunately, there are less and less people like you. More and more people are capable of independent thought.
Now, I'm not insulting you. You are actually with the safe majority. Blindly letting big brother tell you what is right and wrong. You are taking the easy way out. Not thinking for yourself. |
I don't make judgements on people who smoke dope--it's their business. But I think it is good to point out to those who do buy it and use it that they're helping support some of the worst types out there--biker gangs and all the filthy business that goes along with them when they move into your neck of the woods. |

The same is also true for those who deal in illegal cigarettes in Canada. It's the fact that it's illegal - and in demand - that makes these organized criminal industries 1. lucrative and 2. often lethally dangerous.
It has nothing to do with the product itself, whether it's pot, moonshine, cocaine, or fake Rolexes. |
