Premier’s Deputy Police Chief brother & 2011 decision NOT to get search warrant against Wortman for threatening to kill a cop : its messy, in a family sort of way

                                    Protect Nova Scotia, not your Brother : hold an Inquiry

Police treat NEGRO squirrels differently from RICH WHITE ones

The CBC, through a FOI (Freedom of  Information) request, has obtained a redacted copy of a very rare ‘all points bulletin’ that was sent to all NS police agencies, including the RCMP in May 2011, not long after Gabriel Wortman made his last will and testament.

One begins to see why a healthy 43 year old makes his will : he had resolved, in his increasingly squirrelly mind, that he was going to kill a cop.

That is what a tipster told Truro police, along with details about exactly where he hid his stash of illegal guns. The cops knew right away the stash had to be illegal.

 Remember if the public hits 911 to say “a guy has gone squirrelly and he has got a gun and he is threatening to use in on a cop” - the police can instantly check a registry to see if he is registered to own guns, and if so, what sort of guns.

Because it makes a big difference. A small hand pistol firing .22 shorts or  a long rifle with a scope firing high powered .303 longs. Vital information that can save lives as the police team approaches the suspect’s home.

The tipster, honestly but unfortunately, also told Truro police that Gabriel kept a handgun beside his bed and had it on him as he travelled between Dartmouth, patrolled by HRM police and Portapique, patrolled by RCM police.

Do I really have to tell you the rest ? (Hint : 24 dead.)

Exactly : both sides passed the buck to each other : cursive investigations but no search warrants.

And it is not the only recent complaint they had received about Gabriel having a stash of illegal guns and wanting to kill somebody.

Less than a year earlier, Nova Scotia RCMP had reliable information from his relatives that Wortman had plans to kill his parents, in New Brunswick. Unfortunately once again another jurisdiction. (More passing of the buck.)

One wonders what more information did police need to press for a search warrant on a wanna be cop killer with a stash of illegal guns, besides news that the wannabe was NEGRO ?

You betcha I am playing the race card ; ditto the aboriginal card and the Moslem card.

Finally, one wonders if Gabe had threatened to kill someone else instead of just his parents and just a cop, somebody like his mountie uncle Al or his mountie uncle Cris, might a fire had finally been lit under the feckless RCMP ? The mountie culture is always very protective about all mounties, retired or serving.

(Hint : 24  not dead.)

Now here is where this deal really sugars off, to use a favourite phrase of Roy A Jodrey.

The Premier’s bro, Chris, was  NOT acting Deputy Chief of  Dartmouth’s cops, when the decision was made to not get a search warrant against a Dartmouth resident , who a very rare all-points police bulletin had said had lots of illegal guns, was going squirrelly and threatening to kill a cop.

Do you think such a credible threat to kill a cop wasn’t discussed at the highest levels of Dartmouth’s cop ranks ?

Discussed  ——- and then palmed off to the rural RCMP.

But Chris himself was a little squirrelly at the point as well, of course. Under investigation for possibly nepotism with one, I forget exactly which one, of the half dozen McNeil clan on the HRM police payroll.

The question arises is that if Chris McNeil had been on duty at time the all-points police bulletin had come in, would he have pushed harder to obtain a search warrant ?

One will never know, because of this messy family situation arising instead.

Family situations are always messy ; and something that the voters, most who have never plotted to kill cops but all who do have messy family situations themselves, will be fascinated in.

Just around the time of the next election.

NOW do you finally see why the Premier won’t call a public inquiry ?
