Therefore, they get allowed to, you know, come on into the force, go into training, and other groups are stopped.
What does that mean? Other groups are stopped?
Well, this isn't true.
What groups are stopped?
Because they're not, are you telling me there's certain groups in Canada that are too stupid to pass the test?
Put that back up.
I'm reporting a crime.
You know, I'm going to tell you, I love this little spot.
lot down here. I love it. I love coming down here because the family's not down here. I love it.
The wife's upstairs. The kids are upstairs. They're vacuuming half the kitchen. And I got to come
down here. I got to have a glass of wine, a beer, and I don't know, just relax a little bit and talk about
nothing. I'm going to show you guys something here. And by the way, hey, I just heard a siren. I miss
the sound of sirens.
I miss it.
I miss getting in a cop car and like hitting that siren and driving fast.
The first time I ever, and I know I've told this story before,
and I don't know, I can't believe I'm talking about this.
I'm in Duncan.
I'm three weeks in.
My trainer called in sick.
And that's when I really started learning was when my trainer called in sick.
Gail was sick.
And I take the cop car for the first time just by myself.
I'm driving around town and I got to go code three.
Yeah. Well, yeah. Okay. So the rule is when you hit an intersection, you have to, you have, your lights and sirens have to be on. Have to be on both. So I'm going code three and I just got the lights on. And I come up to, it's like trunk road. I'm going to Maple Bay or something like that. I can't remember. But I show up to the intersection and it's a red light. So I got to stop, right?
If it was a green light, I was going to keep on going.
I wasn't even allowed to just...
I wasn't even allowed to just have the lights on, but that's all I had on.
So I come up, it's a red light.
I go to hit the siren.
I can't find the siren.
I couldn't find it anywhere.
So I stayed at the red light and waited for the light to turn green.
And people are looking at me like, what's this guy doing?
I didn't know where the siren was.
I missed that about the job.
Hoping in that cock car and...
Ripping!
as fast as you can.
Big things are coming up.
Well, it's not that big, but it's big to me.
I go down to, so I'm going to change this shit up.
I'm not liking it all that much.
It doesn't look appetizing.
But I went to Weinan's furniture.
Maybe I'll show you a picture of what I want to do.
It's a, what's the most comfortable thing that you guys sit in, right?
When I was growing up, we would skisks.
up out of school, we go to Sold Us, it's a coffee shop. And we would sometimes sit there for six hours.
75 cents of coffee, refills were free, and it was comfy. What made it comfy? A booth. This is the
booth I want. I want it in here. So I go down to Wynan's furniture in Port Albertine, and I say,
I don't care how much it's going to cost. Can you guys build this for me? And they said,
We can build it for you.
I'm like, that's awesome.
So I give my email address and we're going back and forth on the email about the price and dimensions,
exact dimensions that I want.
We're doing this for like a week.
Maybe it went into the net over a week.
It went into the next week.
And it goes, okay, yep.
Absolutely.
We're fully booked right now.
We'll be able to make it for you in June 2022.
I'm like, dude, what are you doing to me?
No, that's not going to work for me.
2022.
Brenda Lockyer.
The, uh, I don't know if you guys know this, but the commissioner of the RCMP, her name is Brenda Lucky.
She's a robust, sweet young lady in her 40s.
And Trudeau made her the commissioner.
She's going to switch stuff up and make the force better.
She's trying to weed out the racism.
that is embedded within our systems and our institutions.
And it's actually really bad.
It starts at the roots of the the RCMP and filters all the way through the branches that touch the sky.
And somebody sent me a video, subscriber sent me a video clip from CBC.
And it's about the RCMP test, the entrance exam.
And I'm like, oh, because Brenda's.
been looking for systemic racism within she said she came out and said there's systemic racism in the
rcmp absolutely no doubt 100% without a doubt so she's been trying to weed it out and fix it
and she's been trying to come up with what is racist about the rcmp like why are members so so racist
so she's so she's trying to fix the institution of the rcmp one way to do that is by changing
the entrance
entrance exam
so I was excited
to open up this news clip
because Brenda
finally came up
with an example
of systemic racism
in the RCMP
and I'm going to share that with you
she's been working hard on this
and you know what?
Yeah, it is Friday night, okay?
And you know what I'm doing tonight?
You know what me and the
gal are doing?
We're getting drunk tonight.
Why do I feel bad
that I come down here and drink?
Who the hell is that?
I guess she's done half the kids.
kitchen.
Around up there.
Okay, let's find this.
You guys probably think I'm losing my mind,
but I got a window right here,
and I can see everybody that comes in and out of the house.
Okay, guys, they're redrafting the entrance exam for applicants.
Because it's, well, apparently, well,
Brenda Lucky's trying to lead out racism, so it's racist.
Plain and simple.
It's a racist test.
I don't even know if I could do this.
I need a cigar.
I honestly don't even know what I'm going to.
say about this. See what you can do down here in your own room? Okay, CBC. The RCMP is changing the way
it recruits its future Mounties. The four says the current entrance exam has cultural biases,
has outdated criteria, and it's time for an overhaul. Overhaul.
Catherine Tunney has been looking into this for us. She is live in Ottawa, with more on
the shakeup, the details of what's changing and why. Catherine.
Well, Heather, basically the RCMP is saying...
Poor Catherine.
Holy shit, Catherine.
Oh, my God.
You know what?
Both of them are lovely women.
Should I rewind that?
Just a titch.
I'm not here to make fun of them.
I don't think I am.
Well, Heather, basically the RCMP is saying that its old exam is not netting,
not attracting the recruits.
The old exam, guys, and I haven't watched all this,
but it's not attracting.
the applicants. It's not, I guess she's saying that it's just, it's not sexy enough. The exam is not
sexy enough. It's not drawing them. It's not attracting people to write the exam. You have to make an exam
attractive, guys. Do you know what I mean? If it's not attractive, why would you write it? Totally
makes sense so far. It's exam, kind of the screening exam, if you will, that I'm,
hopeful Mounties would take.
Screening exam.
Okay, yeah, I'll go with that.
Guess it's a screening exam.
Exam, kind of the screening exam, if you will,
that hopeful Mounties would take.
Mounties have to take it.
She's hopeful that, what did you?
Why am I?
What did you say?
She's hopeful the Mounties are going to take it?
Entrance exam, kind of the screening exam, if you will,
that I'm hopeful Mounties would take.
She's hopeful the Mounties will take the exam.
They pretty much have to.
That's the first thing you do.
She's just trying to make a buck.
Right?
You will that I'm hopeful Mount Cheese would take
before they even get to training at Dupo and Saskatch.
You got to take it before you get to training.
Why is she saying this?
Oh no.
she thinks that if you want to become an RCMP member that you don't really have to take the test,
but she kind of wants you to.
She's hopeful that you'll take it before you go to read China.
This stuff is this.
They don't even know what to talk about.
I don't blame them.
Okay.
How is she supposed to know?
But she's reporting on it.
would take before they even get to the training at Dupo and Saskatchewan
to see if they have what it takes to be an RCMP officer.
So she's hopeful that you'll take the exam to see what you have what it takes to be a cop.
The exam's going to tell you if you pass the exam, you got what it takes to be a cop, I guess.
You see that picture there.
That guys, right there.
The RCP is now saying, don't listen to her, but look at that.
come in. They're doing their thing for their family, their friends, their hot girlfriends.
That is, man, you feel, you feel pretty cool when you get to do that at graduation.
I miss that.
Before they even get to training at Dupo and Saskatchewan to see if they have what it takes to be an RCP officer.
And the RCP is now saying that they admit that that exam in itself is acting as a barrier
and not attracting diverse candidates to the RCMP.
The exam is acting like a barrier.
Not attractive enough.
It's not attracting people.
How is it acting like a barrier?
It says some of that is because there is inherent cultural bias in the exam.
Inherit cultural bias.
Are you confused?
You're supposed to be.
It's not supposed to make sense to you.
because none of this makes sense.
If you're confused, there's a reason why you're confused.
They're confusing.
They can't even explain it.
You can't even explain what they're trying to do.
It doesn't even...
Some of that is because there is inherent cultural bias in the exam.
What the hell is inherent cultural bias?
Can you give me an example of that?
And that there are outdated scenarios.
Outdating, okay, maybe there is outdated scenarios.
So how does that make the test?
racist.
Outdated.
Everybody has to write the same test.
And that's some of the vocabulary is making some groups test higher than others.
Yeah, that's what the RC&P test does.
There's certain, there's like seven different areas, logic, memory, judgment, observation, comprehension, math, vocabulary.
Like, each, hmm.
When I took the test, I was told that that was, the test was developed that way.
meaning if you're book smart, you're going to do really, you should do better on the vocabulary than I would.
It goes, and that some of the vocabulary is making some groups test higher than others.
What groups?
Is she talking about white people?
Because I was dumb as, dumber than shit when I wrote that test and I took the vocabulary, I don't think I got anything right.
When I looked at those vocabulary words, I've never seen words like that before.
I've never I swear to God I've never seen any of those words that they asked and it was like 10 or 15 of them
so is she talking about white people or who is she calling sir are they calling is lucky in the media
calling certain groups stupid you know you just can't say a statement without dissecting it sometimes
it takes some dissection don't you think you can't just you can't just say it you got to think
about. It's making some
groups test higher than others.
Yeah, like smart people.
Smart people.
Smart meaning book smart.
Are going to test higher in that area.
What's wrong with that?
Who's had a disadvantage?
Dumb people.
We need to attract more
It's not attracting dumb people, guys.
You're making the test too hard.
How do you fix all
is you make it easier. Oh my God. It doesn't make any sense to me. Some people are going to test
higher in certain areas of the test. If you're good at math, you're going to test higher in that
area. If you're good at observation, you're going to test higher in that area. They want to make
the test entirely easy, entirely simple. That's what they're doing. Therefore, they get allowed to
come on into the force, go into training and other groups. No, that's not true. That's not true at all.
I tested terrible in the vocabulary.
I tested terrible, horrifically, in that area.
But I still passed a test.
Test, therefore, they get allowed to, you know, come on into the force,
go into training, and other groups are stopped.
What does that mean?
Other groups are stopped?
Well, this ain't true.
What groups are stopped?
Because they're not, are you telling me there's certain groups in Canada
that are too stupid to pass the test?
Everybody.
I failed it.
Okay, well, maybe not this one.
But I failed it a couple times, the old one.
I passed this one.
I think it was this one.
They probably change it since.
But people fail it.
But she's saying that the RCMP are admitting that certain groups can't pass it.
That's not the problem.
Okay, so it's raised.
racist because some groups of people in Canada aren't smart enough.
Are stopped.
So it posted a tender this week looking for a contractor, looking for someone to basically rewrite that an entrance exam and kind of scrub those old cultural biases out of it so that they can attract.
The old cultural biases.
Like the vocabulary.
More diverse candidates to the RCNP.
Oh, okay.
So you need more device.
Okay.
Make those old cultural biases out of it so that they can attract more diverse candidates to the RCN.
So you attract more diverse candidates to it by changing up the vocabulary, for example, the words are too tough.
They don't understand them.
Oh my God, what do I even say?
Obviously Brenda Lucky and her team, they were sitting around the table and Lucky's like,
Oh, hey, guys, how do we change the vocabulary?
It's make it easier.
We need to make the vocab easier.
Any ideas, Bob?
Yeah, well, let's change it all up.
Let's have them define happy.
Good idea.
Everybody will get half the definition of happy, right?
What's the definition of happy, Bob?
Joy, yeah, that'll be the answer.
Got any more?
Rain?
Let's define rain.
What's the definition of rain, Bob?
Something wet that falls from the sky.
Good one!
Now everybody can pass the test.
It's so dumb.
It's dumb.
They think that's the problem.
Brenda Lucky is sure curing racism.
In reporting, you've talked...
You're doing a good job, Brenda with the racism.
Oh my God.
Talked about how the RCMP is facing a staffing crunch.
staffing crunch, a decline in applicants. What is causing? A decline in applicants? That's surprising,
isn't it? Are you surprised? Are you surprised? There's a decline in applicant. No, shit.
Of course there is.
What's causing that. Oh, did you just ask what was causing that? You've talked about how the
RCMP is facing a staffing crunch, a decline in applicants. What is causing that? What's causing that?
Yeah, well, as you said, there is a staffing crunch.
Does not as many people apparently want to be a Mountie as...
Doi?
Yeah, no kidding.
They used to and not as many people are applying and then, you know, go...
Yeah.
...going through the necessary training in order to be a police.
You know the reason, right?
Please tell me you know the reason.
This officer, and this tender that the RCMP put out,
kind of attributes that to what they call changes to the...
the Canadian social and demographic context.
Okay, well, that clears it up.
Changes to the social democratic.
Did she say democratic?
Cultural awareness.
To what they call changes to the Canadian social and demographic context.
Democratic context, social.
Social.
Yeah, she had to look down to read that.
Changes to the Canadian social and demographic context.
Are you guys confused yet?
You're supposed to be.
I'm telling you right now.
It doesn't make sense.
It's not supposed to make sense.
It can't make sense.
He's senseless.
There is no racism in the RCMP.
Might be a couple of racist cops, but it is not systemically racism.
And there's no evidence to suggest.
They're trying to prove that there is,
but Brenda Lucky's having a hard time proving it.
See, Brenda Lucky, she fucked herself.
She came out and she said there wasn't systemic racism.
Her boss freaked out and said, you better change that.
So she came back out and said, there absolutely is systemic racism.
Now when you say that, now everybody's looking at her going, okay, where is it?
And she's like, uh, well, I don't really know.
The entrance exam?
Maybe?
Maybe that's where it is?
she's put herself in a hole that she can't get out of
and watching her get out of it
is it's for me it's it's pretty comical
it's funny
they're working on a fairy tale
when you work on a fairy tale you look like an idiot
and they all look like idiots right now
I've got to admit Heather
I don't really know what that means that of course you don't know what it means
nobody knows what you're not supposed to know what it means
She's they say it like that.
Brenda Lucky says it like that to confuse you.
Makes me look like an alcoholic, but I'm, hey, it's Friday night.
It's a pretty vague sentence.
But on a serious note, of course, it's been reported before that the RCMP, there's been
toxic that it has a toxic culture, a culture that.
I'll go with that.
But that's not a reason why people aren't becoming applying for the RCMP.
You know, tolerates homophobia and racism.
It tolerates.
homophobia and racism.
Come on. Did you say that?
A culture that, you know, tolerates
homophobia and racism.
She's grasping.
Of course, it's been reported before that the arts...
It's been reported before.
So she's just guessing.
CMP, there's been toxic,
that it has a toxic culture.
Toxic, I will agree with.
Tolerates homophobia and racism and...
It does not tolerate
homophobia and racism.
The RCMP, there's been talks that it has a toxic culture,
a culture that, you know, tolerates homophobia and racism.
Bullshit.
Give me a break.
Are you kidding me?
Homophobia.
I liked homo...
I like gay people?
Is that how you say?
I worked with a couple of gay boys or gay men.
in my time. Great. And I've never ever seen anybody have a problem with that. Never. Well, one guy.
One guy, but I'll get to that. One guy out of how many people that I supervised and work with.
I loved working with gays. Some of them are cute. The girls. It's too bad that they were gay.
No, that's not true. There's no homophobia in the RCMP. There might be a couple people, like I'm sure you're going to find a
couple of people somewhere, right?
Homophobic. In any, any place that you work, there might be a couple of homophobes in construction
or plumbing. Might be a couple of homophobes plumbers, right? It's dumb. But you know what I'm saying.
Am I really talking about this right now? I met one homopo in, where was it? Mission? Yeah, mission.
Well, it was a staff sergeant.
He called me a shit show.
And I'm in his office one day.
And we started talking about gay people.
And he looked at me and he goes, well, do you agree with that?
And I'm like, yeah, of course I do.
They're born that way, man.
And he goes, well, I don't agree with it at all.
Goes against every bone of my body.
And I'm like, holy shit, dude.
He was like 85.
I'm like, dude, you need to retire.
You for real?
But no, give me a fucking break.
To tell me
RCMP members are not homophobic.
Not even close.
And racist?
Nah.
Never met a racist RCMP member in my career.
She thinks that's why people aren't applying.
That's not why people aren't applying.
Catherine.
Misogyny and that maybe it's contributing to the idea that it's not being a
workforce place that people maybe are attracted to.
In the past, RCP Commissioner Brenda Lucky has said that this is one of her
goal that she really wants to make sure that her RCP force
reflect the communities that they serve and that...
Reflect the communities that they serve.
Do we get into this?
Why do we have to reflect?
Why is it so important?
to reflect the community that you serve.
If you're in a community with indignuous peoples,
you need to have indignious cops.
No, you don't.
You don't.
Why? Why do you?
Why?
You ever ask yourself why?
What's the answer?
You don't need that.
You just have to be good at what you do.
This racism bullshit?
reflection of communities.
We need more women in the force.
They don't want to apply, guys.
We need more indignious in the force.
They don't want to apply, guys.
Why would women want to be a cop?
If I went and asked a bunch of women right now,
and I said, hey, you can be a cop or you can be a nurse,
what are you going to pick?
They're going to say nurse.
Most of them are going to say nurse.
That's how life is.
that's how life is.
You want to be a nurse or do you want to work in a coal mine?
They're going to pick nurse.
A lot of women don't want to be police officers.
The job is mostly male.
Males are attracted to the job.
Females, some of them, only a few of them, are attracted to it.
And when you only have a few attracted to it, only a few apply for it.
and when you apply for it, you don't always get in.
But they don't want any stoppages in the recruiting process.
How do you get all women in that apply?
You make the test easier.
You let them have a lower score.
You reduce the qualifications.
Same with minority people.
That's how you let them in.
But people, and when you guys go to your orientation like I did about four or five or six fucking times,
because I was dumb.
There was maybe 20 girls there out of 100.
Now, maybe only three of those 20 are going to make it.
There was a lot more men there.
They're mostly white.
That's why there's white cops, guys.
Indignious peoples.
Hardly there.
They don't want to become cops.
That's okay.
But they're making as though that the exam is stopping them.
No, they're not applying.
You know, it's funny. It came down here. I thought it was going to be a five-minute video.
I'm going to tell you a story about...
I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you a story, man. I shouldn't tell it.
They're talking about racism.
They're talking about reflection of the community.
The police station should be a reflection of the community.
I'm Asian. I want to see Asian cops.
I'm a girl. I want to see girl cops.
It's not about taking the best.
That's out the window. That's gone.
Let's talk about racism, okay?
I'm going to talk about a story that happened to me when I was in, I don't know, grade six or seven.
In grade six or seven, me and my white buddies, we would go up to the mall.
We'd go up to the mall and one day I was wearing my brother's leather jacket.
It was way too big for me.
I looked like a dick.
I looked dumb.
We're in the Kmart cafeteria having some gravy and some fries and some with some ketchup.
Smoking some cigarettes.
You could smoke back then.
came our cafeteria.
There was a group of indignuous kids.
Okay?
Three, four of them.
One guy's name was Terry.
The other guy's name was Eugene.
And I'll never forget it.
They didn't like me.
They hated me.
We go into the arcade, me and my white buddies.
They follow us into the arcade.
And Terry starts pushing me around.
And I was scared shitless.
He was a big fat boy.
Okay?
like huge like four of me
I can't fight him
he's too tough
I don't got the confidence
so I leave and I hope that'll never happen again
every time I went up to the mall there he is
and I'm playing a video game
and him and Eugene
and a couple of indignious females
they're like kick his ass
Terry kick his ass
and I remember looking at the females going
why are you saying that don't say that
that's mean i don't want to die
it brought me to tears
it was ruining my life
to a point where
i stopped going to the mall
i stopped going to the arcade
my white friends would say
hey clint we're going up we're going to go to kmark cafeteria
we're going to go to the arcade you come in i'd be like no
i couldn't
they weren't helping
they didn't want to get picked on
so my dad says to me
phone a karate school
phone a karate school
and ask him if they'll put you in private lessons
because he knew that
I just didn't need lessons
I needed private lessons
so I call up Suk Winderman has
and he's like
he was just a kid back then
and he's like
I don't do private lessons
but if I did
I would probably charge $15 to $20
and I said that's it
He goes, yeah, probably more like 20 when he heard my excitement.
So every Tuesday and Thursday I went to karate.
I became really good at karate.
I was the fastest in the class.
My speed, nobody could even come close to me.
It taught me how to punch.
It taught me how to form a fist.
It taught me how to keep it flat.
And you punch with these two knuckles.
And when you punch, you punch with a snap.
I learned how to kick.
and it gave me confidence.
A year later,
well, I would say about a year and a half later,
I hadn't gone to the mall,
but I'm sitting at home one day
and I knew what I had to do
and I didn't want to do it,
but I couldn't live life like this anymore.
I'm sitting on the couch and I turn to my dad and I say,
Dad, I'm going up to the mall.
I'm going to walk up to the mall.
And he said,
okay, client.
and I put on some track pants and some tight shoes,
walked through the bushes, and I went into the mall.
And I knew what I was going to do.
Beside the mall, there used to be a church.
It's now a gas station.
I knew that I was going to go up to Terry.
I was going to say a couple of things.
And there's no doubt in my mind, we're going to go to the church.
Let's go to the church and get it over with.
I knew I was going to fight Terry that day.
Didn't want to, but I had to.
Maybe I could get a few good punches or kicks in.
I knew my jab.
I knew my left.
Am I right?
Maybe I get it in.
Or maybe he kicks a shit out of me and's over and done with anyways, right?
So is Terry up there?
You better bloody well believe he is up there.
He's up there with Eugene and it's just me.
And he's sitting in the middle of the mall.
You know how the mall has places where you're,
you could sit. He's just sitting there in front of soldiers. And I'm like, okay, here we go. I walk,
I beeline straight for them. And I sit down right beside them. My heart's bumping. I'm mad.
I'm trying to act mad. Eugene gets up and walks away. Just walked away. I'm like, oh my fuck. Why is Eugene
walking away? That's weird. Now it's just me and Terry.
I'm two spots away from Terry.
We're just sitting there.
We're not saying anything to each other.
And I turned to him.
And I said, hey, man, you still got a problem with me?
Knowing he's going to say, yeah, knowing we're going to go to the church and fight.
And he goes, what?
No, not at all, man.
And I said, okay.
Are we good then?
Are we good?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, we're good.
True story.
I'm not exaggerating one bit.
and I ask you
them doing what they did to me
me being white
them being indignuous
what do you call that guys
what do you call it
no it's not racism
they weren't being racist towards me
all I had was a bully
that's all he was
can't I just have a bully
and if you thought racism
that's the problem with the media
that's a problem with your mind
You got to stop thinking that shit.
We're creating it.
Who's creating it?
It's the media.
It's like Morgan Freeman said.
You want to eliminate racism?
Stop talking about it.
You see a cop?
A white cop shoot a black person?
First thing the media reports is that,
and that it's racism.
It's not.
Terry wasn't racist.
I was skinny.
It was dumb looking.
He was a bully.
He wanted to fight me.
I'm the easy target.
It's not a person.
a racist story? Black history month you find ridiculous. Why? You're going to relegate my history
to my month? Oh, come on. What do you do with yours? Which month is life history of much?
Well, come on. Tell me. Well, I'm Jewish. Okay. Which month is Jewish history month?
There isn't one. Oh. Oh. Why not? Do you want one? No, no. No. I, I, I, I, I. I, I. I.
I don't either.
I don't want a black history month.
Black history is American history.
How are we going to get rid of racism and stop talking about it?
I'm going to stop calling you a white man.
Yeah.
And I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.
I know you as Mike Wallace.
You know me as Morgan Freeman.
But the world has turned cracker jack.
And they come up with these fairy tales.
20 years later I'm at the Barclay Hotel I'm drinking my face off I'm drunk in a skunk I'm with my sister
I'm standing by my sister and it's Terry's stag okay I think he's dressed up like a girl
and Terry comes up to me and I have nothing against Terry he made me a better person
he comes up to me and he is just like oh holy fuck man who's the check
and I said that's my sister
and you better not say another word about her?
And he says,
I sure like the fucker.
I grabbed him by the throat
and I pushed him up against the bar.
The
bouncers broke it up,
threw him out.
That's a racist.
And I stayed.
There's a point to my story.
So the Terry thing happened like in 1980.
It was in the 1980s.
92,000.
2010, 2020.
Like, we're fucking, we're talking, what, 30, 40 years almost later.
I'm working in Port-au-Burney.
I'm working in my community.
I'm standing in the back of Port-au-Bernie to detachment in the parking lot.
I'm standing there.
I'm on the phone.
I'm talking to somebody on the phone.
All of a sudden, it's like, it's like two, three in the morning.
All of a sudden a cab pulls up.
To cells.
Like, first of all, we don't have any traffic that comes into the back parking lot.
I'm like, what the hell's going on here?
Was I looking up this whole time?
I'm like, what the hell's going on here?
Why is there a cab right there?
And one of my constables runs out of the police station and goes to the cab.
And I'm about 300 feet away.
And he has his pepper spray out.
And he's yelling at the guy who's in the backseat.
Come on!
Come on. Come on. Get out of here. Come on. Out of the cap. And this big fucker comes out. And he's got his combative. He's got his fists up. And constable's ready to pepper spray. I run over. And I'm like, Terry? He looks at me and goes, Clint? I'm like, dude, come over here right now. And I'll drive you home.
Okay
Put him in my back seat
His house was about 12 minutes away
And we go past the orange bridge
And we go up a hill
And I remember going down the hill
I remember the hill
And Terry's in the back
He's fucking drunk as fuck
And I hear Terry start
Terry starts laughing
And he goes
Clint
And I went
I know Terry
Like the history
There's even more to the story, but the history that we had.
What am I doing there?
I'm reflecting my community.
I de-escalated a situation with a finger.
You don't have to be black.
You don't have to be white.
You don't have to be indignious.
You don't have to be a minority to reflect your community.
You just have to be good.
That's the focus.
You don't make a dumb test.
so dumb people become cops.
You can reflect your community in other ways.
How do they not know this?
And by the way, my constable,
he never once spoke a word to me about that
because I think he's mad at me.
He didn't like that I drove him home.
He thought that that guy should go to jail.
When actual fact, I saved the day for everyone.
Save the day for the bad guy.
saved the day for the good guy
less paperwork
easy easy to solve
because I reflected my community
sometimes you have constables on your watch
that are little bitches
he was one of them
genius that he thought he was
and it's sad because you know he didn't learn
shit from that situation
and the only reason
that the cab pulled up
to the back of the police station was
because Terry wasn't going to pay.
He didn't have any money.
That's it.
But no.
The boss didn't throw him in jail.
No, you're damn rights I didn't.
Dumb.
You know, she's really trying to look and attract,
make sure that her RCMP force
reflects the communities that they serve
and that, you know, she's really trying to look and attract
Canadians of all different skin colors and backgrounds.
Now, the numbers so far show that that's not really bearing fruit.
The numbers of visible minorities and women have remained pretty stagnant over the past decade.
But, you know, maybe something like this exam will change things.
Of course, it's, you know, it's quite apparent that that's what the RCMP wants.
Catherine, thank you.
So the numbers are basically 21% women in the force.
I might be wrong.
But I don't think that number is that bad.
minorities is 10%.
The reason why it's that way is because they're not applying.
And the reason why they're not applying isn't because of the entrance exam.
How silly would that be, right?
That doesn't make any sense.
This is what happens.
You go to a police orientation.
I'll tell you about the last time I went to a police orientation.
It was in Comox.
10 girls maybe out of 100 people?
Of course there's only 10 girls out of 100 people.
Girls don't want to be cops, guys.
So maybe out of those 100 people, maybe 10 or 15,
they even said the number ones.
They said only 10 or 15 are going to actually make it all the way.
Now think about how many girls.
Like what is three?
Maybe three girls will make it?
And by the way, let me tell you something.
I met a girl there.
She sat in front of me.
She was smart as shit.
She got over a four out of...
Over a four on the test.
I got 3.8.
And thank God she was sitting in front of me.
Anyways, we start talking.
She tells me she doesn't...
There's girls that go to this test.
They don't even want to become cops.
I shouldn't tell that.
Anyways, she needed a ride home afterwards.
And, yeah, I'll just leave it up that.
Her name was Monique.
She was from Montreal.
That's bad.
My parents are going to watch that.
But my point is they're not applying.
And when they do apply, not all of them make it through the system,
just like not all of the white people make it through the system.
So what do they want to do?
They want to make the test easier.
So everybody passes it.
Well, why even have a test?
Throw the test out.
What else is Brenda lucky doing?
I mean, the pair test is too difficult.
She wants to get rid of the mat, right?
You're jumping over the mat.
It's six feet, five feet or whatever.
She doesn't even want it to be feet.
Lower the qualifications, make the test easier.
So everybody makes it through the process.
That's what Brenda's doing.
Which is wrong and sad.
And it's going to make for a really weak and bad.
police force. The focus, what they're really doing is they're saying it's not equal guys. It's not
equal. We have to make it equal. Meaning we have to make everything easier for people to pass.
But this reporter missed the point. You all know why people aren't becoming RCP members right now.
There's no money in it. They don't pay enough. And
why would you become a cop?
Why would you become an RCMP member?
When your boss, your future boss, called you racist.
You're already racist.
You're an applicant.
Don't kid yourself.
I'm talking to the applicants.
Your boss already called you racist.
Because the RCMP are systemically racist.
Who the fuck is going to apply for the RCMP?
Maybe a few people, but not a lot.
Lucky did this.
This is what Lucky's doing.
But they don't even talk about that.
Two obvious reasons right there.
Not enough money.
And I'm a racist person because Lucky says so, Trudeau says so, and all the politicians.
The focus should be and always should be to hire the best, plain and simple.
That's not what Canada is doing right now.
Canada is over-correcting something that doesn't need to be over-corrected.
20% women in the force.
And I love women in the force.
There were so many calls that I went to.
There are so many ways that women are better than male cops.
There's so many calls that I went to where I actually thought,
I wish a girl was here.
I wish a woman cop was here.
We'd have a better outcome.
So I'm not putting down women.
But there's like 20% women in the RCMP.
If I'm a girl, okay, and I've had a couple of girls call me,
my hotline and like Tia, for instance,
there is not a better time to be a girl cop RCP member right now
because you can promote.
They want you to promote.
They want more females to promote.
They will, they will promote you.
Look what you will, look what they did to Brenda Lucky.
Like, you want to talk about discrimination against white male.
Like, if you really want to talk about cultural bias and discrimination, do you really think
Brenda Lucky was the perfect pick?
Do you not think that there was better people that Trudeau could have picked and chose not to?
Trudeau chose to pick Brenda because Brenda was a girl.
The overcorrection is ridiculous.
And I'll show it to you right here.
Trudeau wants an ex-R-CMP boss to be a woman.
And that's what he did.
And that's another episode.
