Why aren't these guys riding horses? (RCMP)

    Maybe someone stole their horses which would mean they will probably never get them back because their old motto of We Always Get Our Man is just a joke these days. Not all cites in Canada use RCMP and some of the cites that do use RCMP are thinking of replacing them with City cops or Provincial police. Because it would save a lot of money on wages - RCMP get paid way more then city or provincial police. Cheers!

  • We always get our man was never the ctual motto of the RCMP.  
    The RCMP motto is "Maintiens Le Droit”.

    The fake motto was created by Hollywood from a an American article talking about the NWMP the RCMP.grew out of.

    They do have the coolest uniforms. Sort of like U.S.Marines in color.

    Originally all RCMP used to ride horses, hence "Mounted" in RCMP.

    Did you not see?
    The horses created a union.
    For years the horses had to carry the men.  They feel with the changing times, this should change too.
    It is time the men carry them.

    That's pretty impressive some of the vid looked like he must be lifting a thousands pounds. Might be kind of crazy too - got to be hard on the body especially  the car part. There is a old Dutch saying that I would like say to that guy but he would probably ripe my head off  - your strong like bear but smart like Street car. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Your response made me think of Beauty and the Beast.
    You have it figured out.  It's Always better to be smarter than the beast, not necessarily prettier. ;) :)
    You too Nanoose. :)  Have a great weekend. :)

    Why ARE those guys PERIOD?

    I mean why are they assmebling?  Why are they wearing those felt cowboy hats and armed, and why do they have BRIGHT RED HIT ME I AM A GREAT TARGET jackets on?

    Do they even have a purpose whatsoever? This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at July 28, 2019 6:16 PM MDT

    They are just marching in a parade in their dress uniform. They're just cops. I did the same at Grant Park as a young sailor. Just putting on a show.

    They are mounted in Horseless carriages to catch the miscreant speeder, more efficient for the most part.  Other areas they use boats, helicopters, and Dog Sleds

    Just north of Glacier going over to  Vancouver they still are mounted on horses as are the US Border Patrol, US Local Sheriffs etc.  The border up there is wild and also sensor-ed a million ways from Sunday.  That is why most smugglers etc use helicopters for quick drop and scoots
