Raymond McCord: Unionist hypocrisy over police

Today again hypocrisy from unionist politicians in regards to the RUC/PSNI.

They call for Michael Maguire to go, yet a week ago I along with other victims’ families listen to a serial murderer Gary Haggarty admitting to a total of over 500 crimes including murders while being in the pay of the police.

Are we asked to believe that the police over a period of 14 years were not aware of his crimes and being paid by the state as a police informer?

Not a word from any unionist politician asking why Haggarty was protected from prosecution.

These politicians bring nothing but shame to the unionist cause. No condemnation at all.

I for one continue to support Michael Maguire and hope he ignores the rants of politicians who continue to close their eyes and minds to collusion by the police.
