3. WTH?????

Police said at around 3:15 a.m. CST in the town of about 2,300 residents, there were two big parties going on and two people were driving around on all-terrain vehicles.

When police tried to stop the ATVs, one of the vehicles went into a ditch and crashed. The driver, a 29-year-old man, passed out and an ambulance was called.

Then, crowds of people came out of the parties, apparently blaming the two RCMP officers for the man's injuries. The crowds attacked the Mounties, as well as ambulance workers, police said.

"In the summer of 2009, a 13-year-old girl was hit in a drive-by shooting. She survived her injuries but her father, Robert St. Pierre, said there was a definite culture of fear present in the community that made it difficult for some individuals to be brought to justice."

"In 2009, RCMP told CBC News that there were possibly as many as 100 gang members in the village."

....Canucks want to be just like us, isn't that sweet?
