I didn't watch the whole video. Now the RCMP searched homes and took out 20+ people that did not or could not evacuate. They also went in and took out pets that were left behind or the owners were not able to go back and get them. There was one case where a parakeet was feed and watered, so not even what could be seen as insignificant was ignored. When they entered some of the homes there were guns out in plain view, these were taken, documented, and took to a nearby towns RCMP office as the High River one was not usable. All you had to do was go to Okotoks and get them. There are still guns there and unclaimed. How would the residents be screaming if they were stolen by thieves? The officials could not let residents back into town, flooded homes or not, as there were no utilities. No power, no water and no sewer. Not letting people back until utilities were restored happened in Lyons Co. also.

some houses were clearly habitable after the receding of the flood.
i didn't agree with some of the portrayal of the clearly biased reporter.
i find it interesting that the then mayor was reelected to the city council.
it always amazes me how our elected officials continually refuse to extend the same trust they expect from us to come from them. governments are getting more and more secretive and give themselves impunity with regard to laws regular citizens must abide by. they can simply say it's for the public good and the public has little if any recourse.

Some of the houses were not flooded, yes, but like was said no utilities, If they flushed their toilet it would not be sanitary for the rest of the town. No safe running water to those homes either. It was safer to lock them out until some order was restored. Letting in just some people to get stuff? How do they know they were not looting their neighbours. Hence why the guns were removed to keep peace also.
Those elected officials along with the first responders lost homes too. What laws were broken?

don't know. didn't say any were. trust and reasons were sketchy. they didn't need to get medicine and hospitals open as much larger town was 15 minutes away.
if no one was allowed in, i personally don't think they needed to go house to house other than to check on people if they weren't going to let anyone in anyway.
an interesting piece of probably illegal investigation would be to map which houses were searched.
Which town was only 15 minutes away? Were the roads to it passible?
They took out 20+ people, that were still in town. Were they all there just because they didn't know or were unable to leave? Or did they have other motives, like to loot when no one was looking?
What about pets left behind. Don't rescue them? If the door is locked leave them behind to die?

the government should be making all of our decisions all the time, there really is no reason for freedom anymore.frostback said:

By what authority were they allowed to enter? By what authority were they allowed to take private property out of the home they illegally entered? If my guns were stolen, I would be 'screaming' at my policy holder to send me a check. It would be of no concern to 'them.' By what authority were the people not allowed to occupy their private property. This type of authoritative fascism you defend makes me cringe.

i wonder if they had a list of gun owners.
clientele interest groups on both sides have tipped the balance and exerts power over the true new minority, the net negative taxpayer. it's only going to get worse as those people realize their high deductible for health care will push even more into the lower tier of the end game of a two tiered society, the nirvana of both the left and right who are the same, but hardly no one realizes it as they are too worried about manufactured outrage of social issues to even notice their slipping feet.
