Canadian Police Ads Pulled From U.S. Gang Websites
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have pulled online job recruitment advertisements that mistakenly appeared on Web sites with links to a prominent U.S. street gang.More here.
Canada's renowned police force removed the ads after it learned the RCMP brand appeared alongside "inappropriate material that belonged to the 18th Street Gang," Sgt. Martin Blais, a media spokesman for the Mounties in Ottawa, said on Monday.
The Mounties responded after being alerted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. late last week that its recruitment ads ran on Web sites run by the notorious 18th Street Gang, a Los Angeles-based group thought to be one of the largest and most violent gangs in the world.
