Gopher shooting session turns into heavily-armed RCMP takedown on Alberta farm

When David DeWolfe closes his eyes, he says he still sees the cold steel of an RCMP rifle pointed at his head.

“I thought they were going to kill my wife, my kids and I. Every time I close my eyes, I see a gun pointed at my head.” DeWolfe said he spent most of the day with his family at the Stampede before returning home around dinnertime Sunday evening. Following his arrival, he got a call from two friends who asked if they could come over and shoot some gophers on his rural property.

“I went out with my wife, and as we came around the corner we see several police officers with their guns pointed toward our heads.”

Why. Your privilege was a illusion of your own making. There is no Freedom. Don’t think it’s now illegal.

Maybe the cops should use drones to check things out before going all Rambo on everyone.

I’d be distraught too if an armed RCMP squirrel took me down 🐿🔫

I support the RCMP but to pull this stunt, release the guy at 1:30 a.m. with no way to get home after the police determined that they were WRONG, is disgraceful.

Trudeau and Blair are getting the national force prepared for “ The Night of the Long Knives” Canadians haven’t learned from History. There for the history is bound to repeat itself.

DeWolfe is making a mountain out of a gopher hill here. Yes legally, his friends can hunt on private property, however, ricochet could have been possible to neighbours. RCMP did not violate any of his rights, thus he has no case. He's looking for a Payday, period. Karma's a bitch

“I’m not looking to become a millionaire out of this.” I smell a rat.

We need all levels of government to affirm that safe and responsible use of firearms is a healthy and normal Canadian pastime and take measures to destigmatize their use by over two million Canadians men and women.

hahahahaha why is this a gopher?

What will the RCMP be like when Trudeau & Blair order 'forced surrender' of 200k firearms?

Was the ground squirrel a bystander?

The people who made the original call to the authorities should be charged with mischief at the very least. Disgruntled unhappy neighbours is all this is.

What?!?

Assoun murder case: RCMP suppressed, erased evidence of other suspectsA federal report says the RCMP didn't disclose an investigator's theories about other suspects to a wrongfully convicted man trying to prove he was innocent of murder. This is how the RCMP operate. Nothing new here. The RCMP needs to be held accountable. Those involved in evidence tampering / coverup / evidence erasing, should be JAILED! I always thought the RCMP were above reproach. I guess I was totally wrong. I feel sorry that this man had so much of his life taken away from him. Was this the same guy that Jody Wilson Raybould also let sit in jail an extra year?
