After discovering a considerable number of slain victims around a property and on or near the road, the officers retreated to a point near the top of Portapique Beach Road where they congregated to wait for reinforcements.

Also known as the Parkland Police manoeuvre.

Several RCMP and law enforcement sources say that a corporal from a nearby detachment who was the initial supervisor on the scene froze in place to the distress of other Mounties. The corporal later ran into nearby woods and turned off their flashlight and hid. That officer continues to be off work on stress leave.

Talk about being mentally unprepared to do his job.

Some of the frustrated Mounties wanted to follow their training, move forward and attack the situation. A RCMP tactical officer from Cole Harbour who was called to the scene became frustrated with the fact the Mounties were not attempting to move from their fixed position, save lives and possibly confront the killer. When that Mountie and another said they were going to do it on their own, an unknown supervisor told them: “If you go down there this will be your last shift in the RCMP.” The Mounties held their position.

Jezzus fuck

Ok, I stopped reading there since the RCMP's bullshit made by blood boil. I usually support cops, but fuck these guys and fuck the "thin blue line" bullshit. These guys weren't defending anybody except their own asses and their careers.

After reading this, if I ever come across a cop getting his ass kicked by bad guys, I might just have to to do a little FIDO myself.
