Surrey Shuffle song lies for the Surrey RCMP

The local news made reference to a Surrey Shuffle song mocking the local RCMP push back toxicity in Surrey and I was like AYFKM? It's a catchy tune but when you read between the lines it's like playing Stairway to Heaven backwards - Oh Sweet Satan. It goes off about the cost of the transition and completely misrepresents it. That is just dirty.

When McCallum was elected the second time I was neutral on the RCMP transition. I just wanted to stop the LRT on 104th Avenue. That would have literally been an infrastructure nightmare. When I saw all the dirty tricks the RCMP pulled in Surrey I was convinced getting rid of the RCMP was the only solution. A bitter cannot bring forth good fruit.

If it's root are evil, the entire the entire tree is evil and it is good for nothing except to be cast into the fire. The Surrey RCMP's roots are evil. That has become crystal clear.

I'm from here. I've served here. I was born in North Vancouver and came to Surrey in grade five. I lived in Langley for a couple of years and traveled around the world for 4 year but my kids were born and raised here. I was with the Guardian Angels in Surrey when we dealt with the Whalley burnouts back in the /80's. Then 30 years later I was with the Guardian Angels when we met the Hells Angels enforcing for the crack dealers at Surrey central. That's when I started this blog.

I've been doing this f*cking blog for 17 years. Death threats, legal challenges and troll stupidity for 17 years. I do have some knowledge of what I'm talking about. I've been completely demonetized so this is strictly a volunteer project just like my sevice with the Guardian Angels. I'm not a paid lobbyist.

It's like how the RCMP sabotaged Operation Phoenix as described by Alan Dalstrom in Julian Sher's book the Road to Hell. We're still there. Only now it's worse. We've made zero progress and the reason is the RCMP. In BC we've replaced the Hells Angels with CSIS and they make the Hells Angels look like Boy Scouts. CSIS and the BC RCMP are joined at the hip.

I'm all for a National Police force. I'm all for preserving the Dudley Do Right heritage that was portrayed in the TV series Due South. Sadly, E Division is not it. Manitoba RCMP is. The BC RCMP is not. So how do we move forward? Do we address the corruption or do will kill the organization? You tell me. It's too late for Surrey and BC but it's not too late for the rest of the country. Unless you do the same thing there. 

As I have consistently said, forming a municipal force is not a magic wand. In Surrey's case it is an important step forward and these dirty POS that are still fighting it need to be flushed down the toilet once and for all. The country's future depends on it.
