RED DEER, Alberta, March 7, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The mother of one of the four Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers who were shot dead during a drug bust in Alberta Thursday, spoke to the media Saturday with a powerful message for Prime Minister Paul Martin.
“It is time that our government take a stand on evil,” Colleen Myrol said Friday from in front of her home in Red Deer, Alberta. “The man who murdered our son and brother was a person who was deeply disturbed and ill. It is our duty as Canadians to stop and rethink how we are raising our children. It is time to teach honour of our country,” she read.
Marijuana grower Jim Roszko ambushed four RCMP officers at his northern Alberta grow operation Thursday morning, killing all four officers before turning the assault rifle on himself. Peter Schiemann, 25, Anthony Gordon, 28, Leo Johnston, 32, and Brock Myrol, 29 were the four officers killed in the attack. The four officers had been investigating Roszko’s farm in Mayerthorpe, a small hamlet of some 1,300 people in western Alberta.
“Prime Minister Paul Martin, we depend on you and we expect you to change the laws and give the courts real power,” she said. “Give the power back to the police. Take the power from the Supreme Court and give it back to the House of Commons. We are a good country. Brock knew that. He loved the RCMP and all it stood for.”
Brock Myrol had only been on the job two weeks.
“Our country is hurting,” she said. “It is time to care for our fellow man . . . It is time to take our Liberal attitude to task." Addressing the families of other victims she said, "God Bless you all.”
