“Absolutely, unequivocally, there is no room for that,” Lucki told CTV National News Chief News Anchor and Senior Editor Lisa LaFlamme in an interview on Wednesday.
In an interview with CTV News, Lucki addressed the push for body cameras, her thoughts on growing calls to defund the police and what she calls the problem of "unconscious bias" in the RCMP.Brenda Lucki: You know Lisa, I did speak with Deputy Commissioner Zablocki this morning after that and we talked about what did systemic racism mean.
Lucki: This could be true in many cases, and I think, we base our behaviours in the RCMP on our core values. And one of the ones that I always think of the most is integrity, and that’s always doing the right thing when nobody is looking. And that’s such a strong value. And I think of our core values and I think, whenever our members don’t uphold those core values, which includes racism, then they need to be held to account.LaFlamme: So I just wonder how you fix this.
Lucki: Well I first want to make it very clear, we did not start having the conversations today. These conversations are embedded in our training, they are embedded in all the leadership training that we have. What I was referring to is given in light of recent events, we’ve had conversations, more conversations, more in-depth conversations about it, but it’s not new conversations.
But what I do think is that we are not afraid to hold ourselves to account. We need to hold ourselves to account and that’s the only way we’re going to get better. And I’m not trying to minimize anything that’s happened to anybody in any of the calls for service. But in any given year we have close to three million calls for service, and in 99.9 per cent of those calls, there is no use of force used. So on that less than 1 per cent that it’s used, we need to get better at that.
LaFlamme: And I think we all, Canadians all recognize that there are heroic Mounties. And I point to Cont. Stevenson murdered in Nova Scotia within the last two months, and so many others over decades. But there is clearly a deep mistrust between police and the Indigenous community, the Black community, people of colour. What is your solution for this?
no way, we need our police! I have been called a 'Honky' by several Natives(isnt that Racist) as a human I want justice for my race too! the human race. police are good!
Quite you partisan liberal diversity hire hack.
What you sure caved in a hurry!! Unbelievable. The Toronto elites who have never seen a native should have to spend a week in Winnipeg and on a Reserve. Lisa LaFlame has no Natives or immigrants living in her neighborhood you can bet
Why are we targeting the Police in CANADA while the Libs continue to ignore the Indigenous issues that were promised... ? TruthMatters cdnpoli TrudeauMustGo IndigenousPeoples
Maybe She should start with arresting the Obstructor of Justice who Fired JWR for Blocking his attempts to obstruct justice and then In the people's house! openly threatened anyone who dares bring forth evidence of a crime he has committed. just saying 28 years for just that.
Maybe she should resign. I mean this happened under her watch!
Fire this idiot now!
Looks like the Mounties didn't get their man
Disgusting. Thousands of RCMP members who do a great job, have big hearts and are in it for the right reasons just got backhanded by their traitorous boss. Wow!
If you don’t want to work, quit.
Gillian would run the rcmpgrcpolice better than this hag. She does no justice to the good constables in the RCMP.
Jeez look at that fat slob. What can she possibly defend?
grow a set and stand up for your profession for damn sakes! what a clown world this has become
Whos going to fund her then? Nevermind.. .hahaha we all know. Follow the money trails....
Resign now, we need the RCMP and they need a leader that also believes in the RCMP
Hypocrite
Perhaps if Brenda Lucki would've been doing her job and investigated a certain criminal, we wouldn't be in the mess we are today.
trudeaus new female scape goat.....
Putz
Get rid of her first!
Did you resign?
She should very quickly become the former commissioner.
Another reason for Alberta to get rid of the RCMP and replace with our own police force. Ottawa has a huge leadership vacuum and they really do suck.
Embarrassment.
Nice of her to offer to halve her salary
Why not investigate the largest RCMP coverup in history that happened a short while ago in Nova Scotia?
Thank you we need that
Just another SystemicLiberalCorruption quota pick fail.cndpoli
Then quit.
Lets start with her salary .........
I wish the word ‘defunding’ had never been introduced in the conversations we are now having. Could we change the narrative by using the word REFORM.
If the first consequence is her leaving.... I am in.
When will she quit? Asking for a friend
Why do you still have a job?
Defund the police, let citizens defend themselves and let’s see what will happen to this county.
They are already understaffed. and under funded
I’d rather discuss this idiots resignation
I'm for funding the Police, but the RCMP definitely needs to be reconsidered particularly in regards to Alberta.
If she is serious then she should quit the job so that citizens don’t fund her salary. DefundThePolice
Another wonderful example of how polically correct gender hires don’t work.
We don’t need defunding maybe we need better traing for the officers on how to handle situations involving people who may have a mental or drug problem
yall being played
Hers an idea. Why don’t you weed out the bad apples and kick their asses to the curb instead of pussyfooting around and painting everyone with the same brush?
Yes, defund the police. Starting with you.
Start by having the Commisioner for RCMP reopen my brothers (Interpol) murder investigation in Indonesia. You can't close something you never investigated. He was a Canadian. Seems like RCMP stationed in Jakarta are not doing their job.
Most corrupt, lazy, racist force in Canada, by a long shot.
what does defunding actually mean. To me the solution will need vast injections of money, ultimately tax payer dollars, to fix the police. Continuous screening and and training costs and new infrastructure. Cost of equipment will pale in comparison.
Resign.
Lets defund that useless pike of crap first!
Defund her first.
She’s a perpetually consistent disgrace to law biding Canadians being forced to pay for her trudeau “team player” political appointment.
Imagine how motivated the officers on the street dealing real life issues feel about these comments. She’s another JustinTrudeau lackie. TrudeauWorstPM
She should have resigned years ago.... Trudeau flunky.
She also said the video showing the officer hitting the man with a door needed further investigation No matter what happened before hitting an unarmed man with a car should be automatic firing and criminal charges No excuse charge him for the crime
That's not recommendable, we need the police to enforce law in our communities and there's no way to expedite without enough funding, let alone employment exercises.
This obese lesbian can not be trusted to lead anything. That much is clear. Use that as a starting point.
Lucki is nothing more than a diversity seat warmer. Her mandate is basically to allay and redirect RCMP sexism accusation.
Why is it that when people call for defunding government services they called to defend the only one I believe in paying for 😂😅
This woman needs to resign immediately.
wtf
She is an embarrassment to Canada.
Is this commissioner as inept as she seems?
Pathetic excuse of a Commissioner, last alone an RCMP member. rcmpgrcpolice
Kik her out and get real cops in
Coward
We will get our own provincial police force then.
How about you take care of the bad apples that ruin it for the good members who work hard. Like my complaint against an RCMP Sgt that has been ongoing for almost 2 years?
Only the enemy and traitor to a Country would want to defund the Police. The liberal left are speaking like traitors and enemies of Canada and peace.
Outsource it to China....sock boy has a few contacts
Do your job and investigate SNC scandal
People aren’t inherently good! Safety isn’t a normal state! We aren’t in Texas where we can protect ourselves, family and property! Bad people have guns and use them! Good luck next time you see yourself in a bad situation we will send our thoughts and prayers!
Oh Jesus now the National police have capitulated.
Here’s Day 2 of defunding police
This was her opportunity to speak about hoe chronically UNDERFUNDED the RCMP already are, and she squandered it. I hope NPFFPN1 calls this out.
There is no thought in the proposal. It’s an asinine discussion and idea. Here’s a shot of the future for you.
Liberals are in high places.
We can get rid of her in a heartbeat. It isn't like she does anything anyway.
'I don't think there's an issue with systemic racism' - Nope. It was only founded by Sir John A. Mc Donald (a white guy stomping on the Indigenous) in 1920....but hey, no systemic issues right? 🤦♀️
Stop KILLING people is a good place to start eh?
Listen to this podcast if you don’t like the new religion forced down your throat:
I would like a thoughtful discussion about how little she has done for the sexual harassment issue and if her failure to act and insistence they can monitor themselves makes her in any way shape or form qualified to take on the racism in the force.
Crazy, and just crazy that you are running this story as much as you are. Can’t wait for the revolt.
another diversity hire disaster
lmao
She needs to open her eyes.
We would be much better off defunding most of the politicians on the payroll! Bloated government is more a detriment to this country than its police force. When the public sector is larger than the private sector, we’ve got a problem!
This was her opportunity to speak about hoe chronically UNDERFUNDED the RCMP already are, and she squandered it. I hope NPFFPN1 calls this out.
Defunding a police force already stretched beyond its limits! Great idea...I’m sure it’s membership’s morale is even lower than ever. Good work bending to those who are on a bandwagon but don’t know where the wagon is going. And Justdumb is driving it
Start with her removal. An embarrassment
Really? Well that is wonderful news
That's a tough dude
Oddly enough, nothing to do with this Leftist nonsense I do believe it's time to decommission (disband, end, reboot) the rcmpgrcpolice Oh, yes of course we can fund a new police force sure! But the RCMP doesn't work anymore. But im for a 'Reboot' not 'Defund'.
Her pay check should be cut first.
Thee is no room for discussian on defunding the Police.He/ She is an idiot.
The fact the defund the police is being considered goes to show you this isnt left vs right its children vs adults 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Here you have the gender hire saying what the mob wants to hear. Great work, team.
Defund her and the bell hops at Roxham Rd. There that’s all that needs to be defunded!!
We pay enough taxes in this country to fund our police, mental health and social programs. We don’t have enough to fund all those, plus the government “losing” hundreds of BILLIONS of our money. The solution is not defund the police, it’s defund our corrupt government.
I don't care about this mans opinion.
The RCMP have been relegated to crime reporters anyway!! This woman is just overseeing the demise!! They are a bunch of paper pushers now!! They have a hard time protecting themselves never mind the public!!
Lol uh-huh and I'm sure her responses will be totally unbiased The only discussion needed is with voters and politicians. RCMP have had more than enough say over the years already.
😠😠Soros-Linked Groups: 'End and Cease' All Federal Funding of Police
Great interview!! Thx you Commissioner 🇨🇦
Defund the RCMP, the next logical step.
Are you completely out of your minds with this talk Oh Canada we stand on guard for thee NOT defund thee... 👎
Not impressed with weakness
She is one of Trudeau girls !
I was so impressed with Brenda Licki tonight. She held her cool as she answered rude questions from Lisa LaFlame tonight. Lisa was trying to be a hero as usual pressing her rudely and Ms Licki answered her questions sensibly. Great job Ms Licki
You welcome thoughts on defunding your career... is this what I’m reading?
Now the irresponsible media is spreading garbage about one of the most respected forces in the world. Reforms. Not defunding. Report on accountability.of politicians with hardworking taxpayer dollars. Too many bled /died for a free Canada..🇨🇦🙏
We pay way too much for getting marginalized.
Wolves guarding the henhouse. The victims of police violence are the arbiters of this debate. Not complicit cops.
I could totally figure out how hard questions for her, and she was on the very difficult position to answer such questions. This is why she didn't even try to answer straight forward. Typical political game show.
CommrRCMPGRC we should first examine what your department is not doing? No investigation of JustinTrudeau for one. The fact that one third of all your killings in last 10 years involved FirstNations. Let’s start there
She is so butch she rolls her own tampons!
We need a thoughtful discussion on defunding her position
Too many people do not understand what defund the police means. We need police. We need well trained police that do not interact with Indigenous and people of color based on racial stereotypes, thus perpetuating racism and excessive force culture. Reform police!
This is absolute nonsense. You're better than this Canada!!
You are a disgrace.
Defund parliament they ain’t doing sh!t either
Just watched her interview, wow, useless, won’t answer the question, actually shocked that Lisa dared ask important questions, although no answer.
She's a Liberal party hack. She's a disgrace to the uniform. TrudeauBlackface FakeNewsMediaClowns TrudeauNotFitForOffice
Then she's not thoughtful...this is a bad idea...politically motivated by bad people
Stop kneeling to the political pressures and support your rank and file. You can’t bow down to extremist views that have been designed to demoralize your members. If you want to make a difference, support your officers and execute change from within. ThinBlueLine
More stupid white liberals adopting this nonsense. So I presume blacks and other POC have this unconscious bias against white people? Or is this jus a white affliction?
Virtue signaling is a disease
Madam Commissioner, are you going to address the fact that Canadian governments, both Conservative AND Liberal, have been UNDERFUNDING the RCMP to the tune of almost 2 billion dollars annually?
More Liberal word salad from the RCMP commisioner.
D75221 Is there an institution in Canada that has not been corrupted by the PMO?
Trudeau must have given her orders
I'm for DefundThePolice rcmpgrcpolice if the extent of it is removing CommrRCMPGRC Brenda Lucki. She has done nothing good while in charge, and has allowed the Liberals to destroy this country without investigating corruption. She has also made the force a joke and selective.
Defunding is not the answer.
This is not what a leader would say or do. She should resign. Not fit for this job.
Defund the police? What so the rich can hide and let the poor kill each other? I smell big money behind this. It wreaks of agenda.
So any sane people reading this. What does it mean.. The recession is here and going to get worse. Drug use will go up, crime will follow. Your communities are going to become more dangerous. It’s time we all re-evaluate these changes in our communities.
She's sending a clear message: Lets give a small advantage to all criminal organisations, gangsters and street gangs in this unfair battle..Are you serious..🤔
This is all planned to usher in the UN 🇺🇳 police Canadians must wake up and stop 🛑 this nonsense talk of defunding the police
Insanity
FakeNewsEnemyOfThePeople
This takes being a polite civil Canadian to a new level.
Because this is the Agenda the Dem's have for the States doesn't mean we need to follow ? I don't want to live under Marshal Law...as many law biding citizens there is still respect for our Police Get off the pompous King Trudeau bandwagon do we really want Anarchy?
ratemyskyperoom
Of course she does...instructions from her Master.
Of course she does. If she says it’s an insane idea she’ll be canceled from her position. What’s next, cancelling Paw Patrol?.......
Is she crazy If she doesn’t want the job, resign!!!
