So....you post in the cool cop thread saying : "see they are not all racists, liars and hypocrites"? What have you ever said that is not slanted against cops and govt? What point have you made that would improve the things you whine about in any real way?Take your time replying- I am sure your shift at the illegal smoke shack is demanding!

No, I post stories of cops who are cool, compassionate and just plain nice.
It's absolutely typical of you that you wrote your post without even checking the thread. Facts have no effect on you at all.
Candy-ass.
Ohhh the crybaby says `ass` in public! I see you are still worried that Mom might slap your wrist! As for your cool cop posts- they are worthless tripe when you are doing such a fine job of smearing ALL of them so regularly without offering any solutions! One pat on the head and one dozen slaps in the face!
You have the mind set of Black Lives Matter bigots- complimenting some cop for the equivalent of giving you ice cream does nothing for resolving real problems- but you don't want that- clearly you just want your own way while cops are made over into neutered social workers!
“Idle No More”-(aka INM)- translation-title and catch phrase of a coalition of Cdn Aboriginal groups dedicated to a grossly irresponsible agenda that would, if fully implemented, bankrupt Canada. INM is mainly concerned with ensuring that a steady supply of govt money (a native version of the Gravy Train) continues to flow to reserves in spite of massive corruption, endemic waste and criminal abuse of tax money.
Those Cdns who find fault with INM refer to native scandals such as the Atiwapiskat housing crisis and to the Kashetchuwan water treatment plant disaster. The Conservative govt built both a drinking water plant and a sewage treatment plant in Kashetchuwan and trained natives to operate the plants. A bank account was also set up so that natives could hire more skilled white men from the south to make repairs that were beyond the skill set of natives. When both plants broke down it was then discovered that all the money earmarked for major repairs had ALREADY been spent sending a native hockey team with LOTS of adult supervisors to a tournament in California-air fare plus the cost of hotels, fine meals, alcohol and bad bets in area casinos ensured there would be no money for water plant repairs. INM blames racists in white govt for the lack of clean water in Kashetchuwan.
Conservative govt also gave Atiwapiskat band 105 million dollars to be used for building houses. In addition govt arranged to have De Beers-the diamond mining company that was operating in the area, donate` over 40 million dollars to Atiwapiskat. Yet in spite of having 150 million dollars donated to the band in a 5 year period, NOT a SINGLE NEW house was built and ALL the money has disappeared without a trace while Atiwapiskat town inhabitants live in hopeless squalid and frigid conditions. Cynics suggest that Atiwapiskat chief Teresa Spence has learned much from her counterparts in Kashetchuwan about how to hide money as there is not a single receipt in existence to show where the money went. And Spence and her band council blame white people for deplorable living conditions in Atiwapiskat.
Naturally conditions on native reserves are of concern to politicians. Conservative response has been to take a disciplined approach that would limit corruption and encourage a sensible and logical approach to native govt. LIE-berals have deliberately ignored any and all signs of gross corruption and fiscal negligence and are diligently trying to rebuild the trust of natives-by which they mean BUYING native votes without bothering to deal in any real way with the endemic corruption that is blighting life on the reserves. It would appear that LIE-berals have simply given up on natives and are inclined to let them stew in their own messes while extracting useful votes and staging photo `ops` where possible.
“Black Lives Matter” (aka BLM)-translation- this is a coalition of Black radical activists whose goal is the promotion of their rights and prerogatives- no matter the cost- to other members of society. BLM believes that any and all problems that afflict Black people are the result of systemic racism in Cdn society. They believe that the only solution to the problem of White bigotry is reverse discrimination on a massive scale. BLM is especially concerned with Police actions, training and values.
Questions from radical activists regarding alleged Police bigotry and Police relationship to mentally ill citizens would be more acceptable if radicals had not already persuaded LIE-berals to empty out virtually all the provincial mental health facilities-in the name of personal freedom and `civil rights` - and dump a pack of deranged persons onto the streets without proper supervision or even real access to much needed medication.
In addition. LIE-beral legislation now forbids a doctor to hospitalize a deranged person who has gone off their `meds`. Such a person must be allowed to deteriorate mentally until they are a demonstrated danger to themselves and others; and the burden of proof of such danger is now so high that the patient is often shot by police before getting treatment.
Sensible Police response to crazy people is further hampered by radical activists refusing to let Police have non lethal weapons in Toronto-weapons such as Tasers and bean bag shooting guns that would allow Police to knock down and disable knife waving nutbars instead of simply shooting them full of holes.
BLM Manifesto: A comprehensive list of demands designed to fully promote reverse discrimination and allow Black community spokespersons to launch a takeover of Cdn govt and act as the true power behind the democratic facade of elected public officials who would be reduced to rubber stamping BLM policies as ordered by the BLM shadow govt..
In addition, BLM criticism of Police would be more easily tolerated if a minority within BLM were not manipulating the main group by using Black anger as a smoke screen designed to use reverse discrimination to hamper legitimate Police investigation into crimes committed by Black criminals. Making a choice to become a drug dealer or Pimp instead of flipping burgers at McDonalds is certainly a career choice but being Black ought not to be a legal defense against arrest for drug and prostitution charges or assorted crimes of violence.
Sadly, the anti White bigots at BLM believes that the best way to promote racial harmony and minimize the number of mentally ill persons being shot in our streets is to ENTIRELY disarm the Police. BLM desires that all Police Officers shall be demoted to the status of disarmed and neutered/passive observers of community activity with no authority to act or interfere in any way unless given explicit instructions by BLM.
BLM does not wish to see any member of the Police Force-known to an older generation of Black activists as “The Occupying Army” interact with any member of the Black Community without first obtaining written permission from BLM. Such permission will spell out the details of permitted actions by police officers-the places where they may meet with Black people; the questions they may ask; the number of officers who may enter the community at any one time of day and etc.
BLM recognizes that there are sometimes divisions in the Black Community and BLM reserves the right to issue verbal orders to Police officers at short notice. If new verbal orders contradict earlier written orders then all Police Officers must immediately stand down and return to their nearest station house and remain there until consensus within the Black Community is reached and new orders issued.
“Political scandal”-translation-the phrase has two meanings depending on who employs it. Used by Conservatives it refers to some LIE-beral action such as gross misconduct or outright theft of govt money-refer to ORNG, E-Health, gas plants, Thunder Bay biomass electrical generation mess, Mars building, Green Energy fiasco, Sudbury bribery scandal, to name some of the more recent scandals.
Older LIE-beral scandals involve the theft of three billion dollars from the Human Resources Ministry, along with the bending of tax laws by LIE-beral finance minister Paul Martin in which the assets of his Canada Steamship Lines were moved out of the country and away from his own tax department-without the benefit of any tax levies being paid thanks to adroit use of loopholes Martin left in his own legislation.
When used by a LIE-beral the word scandal refers to the Mike Duffy trial in which Duffy-a rogue Conservative senator grossly misused public money until his Conservative party masters heard of it. At that point he was ordered to pay back the money but he refused-so Conservative party PAID what he owed and then took him to court in an attempt to recover their costs-LIE-berals think it is a scandal (and a very BAD political precedent) that a politician or political party would pay anything back to tax payers under any circumstances.
In politics, not all things that are outrageous can be classed as scandals. The LIE-beral senator MacDonald Harb has taken WAY MORE money than Mike Duffy ever did yet he has yet to be charged with anything and LIE-berals have made it clear THEY bear no responsibility for his debts-and they see no scandal in this.
You don't want solutions. You've made it clear you like having cops who abuse, harm, rape, and murder people. So what solution would you seek? One that teaches more cops to be criminals?
Sorry I cut the quote short, but I quit reading when you start slobbering.
Sorry you are so off your logical game Bones-I did not know Weed was legal in your state-it seems to have influenced your state!
Since you are a Yankee and not well informed about us. here is another example of idiot political influence:
Here is a nice story out of Ottawa courtesy of The Canadian Press. And there are some comments of my own in brackets) to supplement the story:
Criminals getting citizenship as not all checks being carried out: says Auditor general.
By Stephanie Levitz/ Sean Kilpatrick, THE CANADIAN PRESS. First posted: Tuesday, May 03, 2016 11:38 AM EDT | Updated: Tuesday, May 03, 2016 12:58 PM EDT
Auditor General Michael Ferguson holds a press conference at the National Press Theatre in Ottawa on Tuesday, May 3, 2016, regarding the 2016 Spring Reports of the Auditor General.
OTTAWA -- People with serious criminal records and others using potentially phoney addresses are among those who managed to secure Canadian citizenship, thanks to a system that doesn't do enough to root out fraud, the auditor general has found.
Michael Ferguson's audit of citizenship applications between July 2014 and last fall found the Immigration Department has granted citizenships based on incomplete information or without all the necessary checks because it's not applying its own methods to combat fraud.
(I say: what does auditor expect? Our civil service Hogs are NEVER expected to break a sweat or rush in any way so if there are too many applicants it is a simple matter to simply stamp many of them as being `done` and forget them. After all, LIE-berals routinely cater to ethnic and immigrant voters so civil service Hogs see no problem in this slovenly allotting of Cdn citizenship! After all how important can it be who is allowed into Canada since our idiot prime minister- that brainless boy- is taking action to RETURN CDN citizenship-previously removed by Stephen Harper- to the CONVICTED terrorist leader of the murderous Toronto 18!)
The issue isn't the department's alone -- the auditor general found they weren't getting timely or enough information from border officials or the RCMP either to help flag suspect cases.
(Police officials have known-and WARNED govt for decades that information supplied by authorities in foreign lands may be tainted or inadequate in various ways. Police in India for instance lack a central intelligence collection point of the sort found in Canada or other western lands. Such information on Indian criminals convictions is held in decentralized locations-in cities close to where the crimes took place so a foreigner finds it QUITE time consuming to seek information on a specific potential Indian immigrant-who may have offended in multiple jurisdictions-each unknown to the other. In addition, some Indian cops and clerks are willing to take bribes to alter or `clean up` police documents and who can blame them-if the criminal successfully immigrates THEY will be RID of him! It saves them trouble-but makes it OUR problem!)
"This finding matters because ineligible individuals may obtain Canadian citizenship and receive benefits to which they are not entitled," Ferguson wrote in his spring report, tabled Tuesday in the House of Commons.
(Gee, what about the Khadrs? The father was ALREADY a convicted terrorist bomber languishing in an Italian jail when LIE-beral prime minister Chretien went out of his way to INVITE Italians to ship the odious `first family of terror` to Canada! Imbecile Chretien has NEVER explained WHY he would do such a mad thing-inviting the `crazies` to come here!)
"Revoking citizenship that should not have been granted takes significant time and money."
(Oh, that’s NOT correct-look at Ivan Demyanyuk-the Ukrainian accused of being a concentration camp guard. He immigrated to Canada decades ago and subsequently got arrested and sent to Israel for trial-in the 1970`s as accused SS guard Ivan The Terrible. A court in Tel-Aviv brought in survivors of the camp and confronted him-and they LET HIM GO! He was not the man they wanted. Yet Chretien stripped him of citizenship and he ended up being shipped to Germany for another trial-this one being rather inconclusive as so much time had passed-key witnesses were all dead. But he was NOT let back into Canada! If Jewish concentration camp survivors were willing to declare him innocent then why not Canada? And why DUMP Demyanyuk-who never harmed a Cdn-nor apparently did he harm any Jews and then KEEP the Toronto 18-who planned to bomb Toronto Stock Exchange and behead the prime minister, chuck hand grenades at parliament and machine gun anybody who got in their way; and were only prevented from committing wholesale murder by Cdn cops? LIE-berals apparently believe only White people are unworthy of Cdn citizenship!)
The problems range from immigration officials not routinely checking travel documents against a database of known fake papers to a failure by officers or their computers to flag problematic addresses that could point to residency fraud.
(One is inclined to ask if some of this Hog sloppiness is not connected to the payment of BRIBES and assorted `considerations`? I do recall a recent trial in which a Cdn immigration officer was CONVICTED of soliciting sex from female immigrants in exchange for Cdn papers!)
In one instance, it took seven years for an official to realize that a single address had been used by at least 50 different applicants during overlapping time periods. Of the 50, seven became Canadian citizens.
A review of 49 cases where an individual's address had been flagged as problematic concluded that in 18 instances, citizenship officials didn't follow up to see if the applicant actually met residency requirements.
In four cases, the RCMP failed to tell the Immigration Department about criminal charges laid against people who'd already passed the criminal records check step of the citizenship process. Two eventually became citizens; a third failed the knowledge test while the fourth abandoned their application.
The auditor general also found four people who should have been ineligible because of their criminal records, but were granted citizenship even though the officers had access to the information.
(Again, we cynics have to ask if some Hog clerks are not being willfully blind in exchange for favours? Or for BLACKMAIL?)
It was not immediately clear Tuesday whether any of the red flags raised by the auditor general's office have resulted in new fraud investigations.
(And given the well known extent of Hog support of LIE-berals we cynics CAN guess that any evidence of wrong doing will be carefully BURIED by Hog clerks! After all, LIE-berals have learned a LOT since the days of the three billion dollar Adscam and the gas plants!)
In response to the audit, the Immigration Department, Canada Border Services Agency and the RCMP all say they are working to improve their efforts and a better system should be in place by the end of this year.
Tuesday's collection of audits also flagged problems at the start of many people's path to citizenship -- the Immigration and Refugee Board, which handles asylum claims.
As part of a review of appointments to government tribunals, the auditor general found ongoing and lengthy vacancies at the IRB, as well as at the so-called specific claims tribunal, which handles decisions on First Nations claims against the Crown.
In both cases, the vacancies are contributing to delays in tribunal decisions -- at the IRB, 21 positions are vacant, leading to wait times of an average of 18 months, up from the last study of the appointments process in 2009.
When it comes to filling vacancies, the auditor general flagged the fact that for part-time positions, there was no evidence of a selection process or an assessment of candidates against required qualifications.
(Gosh! No evidence of a govt selection process or an assessment of candidates against required qualifications? No-that has to be wrong. We cynics believe that all candidates will be carefully selected according to their loyalty to LIE-beral Party and their willingness to have their votes BOUGHT by LIE-berals! We expect that extra points will be given to those who can explain the Trudope vision of Cdn Imperialism! What the auditor means is there is NO process in place to ensure candidates will render decisions suitable to ordinary Cdns!)
(What it comes down to is our LIE-beral masters support the philosophy of Our Brainless Boy prime minister. Justin Trudope is following in the footsteps of his vicious father Pierre. Our Pet Pierre believed and SPOKE PUBLICLY and also wrote of his belief that Canadian `Imperialism` needed to be destroyed-as long time Trudope friends and chosen biographers Max and Monique Nemni have written in their biography of the younger life of Our Pet.)
(Pierre believed Britain and Canada had fought a war of Imperialism against Nazi Germany and he did all he could to thwart the Cdn war effort-including attempting to form a dock worker union in Montreal for the express purpose of interfering with shipments of war material to Britain! Of course once Hitler attacked the Soviet Union and ceased to be a Soviet ally, Our Pet lost interest in defending Nazis and turned to his true love-the Soviet Union!)
(Our Brainless Boy also believes-like his father-that Cdns are shameful imperialists and bigots and he would rather lead a country of criminal immigrants than a country full of White `Imperialists`. This is why his immigration policy is so deliberately skewed! Boy is determined to rebuild Canada in the fashion his father described-the Trudope plan is to take Canada from the past into the future via the route of radical socialism and for this plan to succeed all our existing institutions and values must be undermined! And how better to do the job than to bring in a bunch of people with strong OPPOSING views?)
(And it doesn’t hurt that screwed up immigration policy is being aided by giving preferential hiring status to assorted non-white and non-male immigrant job applicants-its just LIE-berals BUYING immigrant votes as usual and SCREWING ordinary people! Putting so much of the civil service into the hands of people with LIE-beral values means that we can change the govt-we can vote out those LIE-berals but the civil service will chug along its preferred path and the hell with what ordinary Cdns want!)
Oh T-bones, you poor silly thing! Why do you cry and wail like a silly little T-gurl just because your views are being dismantled and ridiculed? Surely you are used to being the odd gurl out on most debates that take place in a main stream audience? From your remarks it does seem likely that you are rarely disputed in your little world and thus don’t know how to react!
Or is it a deeper problem? Is it that you are vexed that bad cops will be dealt with in the same fashion as other criminals? That LIE-beral hug a thug judges will give bad cops the usual slap on the wrist and kiss on the ass and send them on their way? Just like they do with REAL criminals? And if that LIE-beral catch and release game is good enough for real criminals such as the gang banger who shot and killed innocent bystander Jane Creba in a wild shoot out at the Eaton Centre then WHY is it not good enough for cops? Oopsie-your bias is showing there T-gurly!
Here is an older post that is a nice example of the sort of madness that cops must deal with thanks to LIE-beral irresponsibility. With some comments of my own in brackets):
System lets mentally ill fall through cracks.
By Christina Blizzard, Queen's Park Columnist. First posted: Saturday, March 19, 2016 04:41 PM EDT | Updated: Saturday, March 19, 2016 07:07 PM EDT
Shania Paige was sentenced this week to three months in jail for assaulting a police officer during an alleged suicide-by-cop attempt. She'd been banned from calling the local suicide hotline and from stepping foot in her local hospital. Her lawyer says she had nowhere to turn for help. Suicidal woman gets jail, not help.
What happened to Shania Paige isn’t just a human tragedy of immense proportion.
It’s an infuriating, terrifying and pathetic indictment of the hypocrisy we spout about mental illness in this province.
On the one hand, we like to think we’ve evolved — that we no longer view mental illness as a stigma. Then government cuts vital services for the most seriously mentally ill. If they were slashing care for cancer patients, we’d be in an uproar.
But the seriously mentally ill fall through the cracks and end up in the reluctant arms of the corrections system, when they really need to be embraced by the health-care system. They need hospitals, not jails.
We think we’ve opened up discussion about mental illness. Brave survivors have come forward and talked about their experiences.
The reality is our system drops the ball over and over dealing with people who suffer serious conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. On a human level, that’s understandable. Dealing with people who are seriously mentally ill can be difficult.
But Paige, 19, was seeking help from the very professionals whose job it is to help. She was suicidal, so she sought help from a suicide prevention hotline.
What happened? She was banned from using the service and told her calls were “bogus.” Her problem was she didn’t kill herself. She sought hospital help but was forced to leave and had her arm broken in three places.
(Arm broken in three places? Did they throw her out the door or through it?)
Progressive Conservative critic Jeff Yurek says mental-health services have been “severely degraded” in this province over the past decade. Hospital budgets have been frozen.
“You’ve seen wait-lists increase because the availability of mental-health beds has drastically decreased,” Yurek said. “This is a case of someone who’s in desperate need of medical services and can’t get them because they’re too sick.” Yurek says there’s a gap and mentally ill people often end up in jail rather than hospital.
“Mental-health patients are put in solitary confinement. There’s no treatment and there are no supports,” he said. He said it’s hypocritical of the government to participate in Bell Let’s Talk day to promote the message that people should seek help for mental-health issues when there aren’t enough services for them.
(To be logical about it, crazy people are-by nature- not logical or reliable-they cannot be counted on to vote LIE-beral and so will not be BOUGHT like Muslims and natives and civil service Hogs!)
Did we learn nothing from the Ashley Smith case? Smith’s death in a solitary confinement cell in a Kitchener institution in 2007 prompted an examination of the treatment of mentally ill people in the justice system.
(Ashley Smith is a classic example of how limited is the ability of psychiatric profession to diagnose and deal with mental illness. Smith was 14 and living down east when she took a dislike of the local mailman- pelting him daily with crab apples. She was arrested as a juvenile and got the usual ineffective warning and went right bac k to pelting mailman with crab apples. Was arrested several more times- with each detention getting longer and longer.)
(Psychiatrists who interviewed Smith could not decide if she was crazy or merely extremely defiant. In any case Smith escalated the situation by biting, kicking, spitting at guards- sometimes drawing blood and getting time added to her sentence with each new offense.)
(Smith was physically big and strong and got into fighte with other inmates with predictable results- ever longer stays in solitary confinement. In frustration she was sent out west in hope that a fresh start at a new facility might make her easier to handle. Such was her behaviour that she was trussed up like Hollywood villain Hannibal Lecter- complete with that Hollywood style leather mask so she could not bite nor spit at people and with feet and hands shackled to prevent kicking!)
(Along the way she developed a habit of choking herself- destroying her clothing or whatever was at hand to make ligatures that she could tie around her neck. Whne guards rushed in to remove the choking hazard, she fired back- biting and kicking and spitting. Things got so violent and absurd that guards were finally told not to enter the cell unless her life was under severe threat.)
(Smith eventually choked herself to death with a ligature hidden under her blankets. Guards noticed her turning blue and debated the wisdom of entering the cell- how serious was the threat THIS TIME? The huge question of when to intervene was discussed at length by guards in the corridor-the bruises and violence and accusations of too rough treatment used on Smith to release her from her self imposed choking that would ensue next time she whined to her lawyer about treatment received.)
(Sadly, by the time guards got really worried, she was past aid and died shortly after. Jail guards simply do not have the time or training or equipment to deal with such a person and it is arguable that even psychiatric pros don’t know what do do either! Hence the argument in professional circles as to the level of sanity Smith worked with! Was she nuts or simply really stubborn and defiant?)
Mentally ill people who act out aren’t doing so because they want to be difficult or cause trouble. That’s what mental illness does.
(Although utterly defiant spoiled brats- which is what Smith MIGHT have been- do act out because they DO want to be difficlut!)
Paige ended up in the criminal justice system because of a tussle over a bottle of hand sanitizer in hospital. It was a cry for help. She doesn’t need punishment. She needs treatment.
We pay lip service to talking about mental illness — until the road takes a rough turn. Then we resort to the old methods that have proven fatal.
It’s too late for Ashley Smith, but can’t we help Shania Paige? Can’t we stop her from dying in that same black hole?
If the answer is no, then shame on us all — and shame on our government for talking the talk, but not walking the walk.
************************
In response to a request for comment from Health Minister Eric Hoskins, a spokesman said this via e-mail:
“It is important to recognize that our government must keep working to address gaps that exist in our system, reduce incidents and minimize the number of individuals suffering from mental illness entering our criminal justice system,” Joshua McLarnon said.
“We have provided funding to support the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Provincial Health Services and Justice Co-ordinating Committee that will ... improve police and emergency room transitions (when patients are brought in by police and transferred to the care of hospital staff ...
“We also know the emergency room may not always be the best setting to address a mental health crisis, and it is important our government work towards building additional access points for support ... Just last year we invested over $810 million for community mental health care in the province that supported over 300 agencies, including funding for over 50 mobile mental health crisis units ... Timely access to care is also important which is why our government is providing $2.75 million to improve access to care and reduce wait times at our specialty psychiatric hospitals in Whitby, Toronto, Penetanguishene and Ottawa.”
(That`s nice- but what of the schizophrenia patients who so often go off their `meds` - either because they don’t like the side effects and cut their dosage- with dangerous results- or because they are living on disability pension and do not have the money to obtain their needed drugs? Maybe it is time to provide such drugs free to those who have been stabilized and let out of hospital? And in addition it looks like time to start compelling some to take their medication whether they want to or not? It is those who go off their meds who so often get shot by cops who simply don’t have any weapon except guns to control crazy people.)
(But LIE-berals need ALL their gravy to buy Hog votes and have nothing to spare for kooks and besides, kooks don’t reliably vote or support LIE-berals any way so no need to buy crazy person votes. And LIE-berals refuse to issue things like tazers and been bag guns to cops as LIE-berals worry such weapons will be “abused”! Apparently LIE-berals would rather see crazy people shot full of holes? And it is certainly cheaper- for LIE-berals- if frustrated crazy people are blocked from entering hospitals and spend their days discussing the situation with themselves on a park bench some place out of sight of our overlords!)
(Its just too bad that cops get the dirty job of dealing with kooks who refuse to stay out of sight, sulking quietly in the park!)
You anti cop clowns are repeating yourself-this parking officer thing occurred over TWO YEARS AGO and is only now getting to court! Quit trying to smear all by pointing at one-a sensible approach will HELP you-not hinder!
And it seems like the biggest beef cop haters have with bad cops is that they get the same slap on the wrist and kiss on the ass as other criminals! And considering what cops have to see every day its no wonder a few get stupid- just like their political bosses! As former Yankee prosecutors proved in the 1960`s the ONLY way to clean up a problem is to start at the top! if judges and politicians dont give s**t then neither will some cops on the street!
Here is an article illustrating the casual insults that cops must swallow. With some comments of my own in brackets):
Pride funding despite no T.O. cops 4 (WHITBY)
BY SUE-ANN LEVY, TORONTO SUN.
Let me just start by saying that Councillor John Campbell deserves our utmost respect.
With his motion to withhold the $260,000 grant to Pride until they reaffirm their core value of "inclusivity" and allow the police to march on June 25, he showed councillors and public servants that at least some members of Toronto's dysfunctional council want to do what's right.
(The Pride leaders have a long history of double standards- politics is NOT supposed to be allowed into the Parade yet they routinely let anti Israeli groups display racist posters.)
Campbell spoke eloquently of the hypocrisy of Pride being "very much about being proud of one's identity," yet officials insist police not be able to express their identity in their uniforms.
"Pride has abandoned its key value of inclusivity," he said.
It was a breath of fresh air in the midst of an absurd all day debate on Pride Friday where many on council sunk to an even lower level of hypocrisy than I've seen in my 19 years watching the joint.
(The worst of it is this kerfuffle about cops is motivated by reverse racists and extremists at Black Lives Matter- the loons who think that being a drug dealer, pimp, etc are viable career moves and that cops should butt out of black `business`-as if criminals are just plain honest tax payers! Black Lives loons want cops to behave like neutered and in-effective social workers!)
In the end council voted 27-17 to give Pride their money -- Tory included -- only reinforcing what I predicted long before the day-long gabfest about their heads not being screwed on straight.
I watched the cabal of pro-BLM leftists on council try to bully Campbell by challenging him on the meaning of the word "inclusion" and on the insulting claims by city staff that there is no discrimination directed at the police.
It was no different than the way Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders was forced to pull out of the parade this year. My goodness, he had no choice. He has had no support from our weak mayor or the equally wimpy Toronto Police Services Board.
Perhaps scripted by Tory's office, I watched and heard a cast of six-figure bureaucrats -- economic development general manager Mike Williams ($225K), diversity manager Uzma Shakir ($131K) and new city solicitor Wendy Walberg -- twist themselves into pretzels trying to defend the indefensible.
Without giving a second thought to how absurd they sounded, they claimed, at various points in response to questioning, that Pride did not violate the city's anti-discrimination policy it has already signed by discriminating against the police. Of course they are.
Nor did it contravene the city's or Ontario's Human Rights Code and any city policies, Walberg and Shakir contended. Of course it does. Can you imagine if Pride banned women from wearing their head scarves in the parade?
(Yeah, the screaming would be horrendous if we told Muslim women they could not wear head scarves! What it comes down to is a display of hate by Black Lives loons towards society at large! BLM HATES the society they live in and want to destroy it and build something else. BLM believes that ALL the troubles of the world are the result of bias against THEM! And yet spineless jellyfish politicians encourage this bigotry at the expanse of the main stream community!)
"We need to give the police and Pride the time and space to resolve their problems," Williams said.
What problems? There is no problem from the standpoint of the police. The only problem, in my view, is that council's leftists, and the mayor, and the six-figure bureaucrats are prepared to allow one group -- and one group alone, especially one that uses abusive tactics to intimidate and bully people -- to dictate who can be included in Pride festivities.
What a terrible message to send to police forces all over Ontario and to taxpaying citizens.
(Yes- BLM is carefully insulting our democracy and the legal system that under pins it by sneering at cops-the SERVANTS of the system!)
What a terrible statement about the mayor's lack of judgement and intestinal fortitude on this issue.
On Pride's alleged dress code I will only say: It is the Pride parade for heaven's sake. People march completely nude; others in all manner of sexual paraphernalia, all of which make plenty of people feel uncomfortable.
(Back in the early days of Pride there were complaints about the lack of clothing on parade participants and warnings in local papers that parents with small children ought to avoid the parade route! But times have changed and we no longer worry about bare backsides and glimpses of male genitals and flopping female breasts- now we worry about police uniforms! How more clear a contrast in the thinking between general public and Pride supporters than that?)
Police uniforms are out. Yet according to the twisted logic of the mayor, leftist councillors, Pride and the six-figure bureaucrats this dress or undress code is perfectly acceptable.
Besides that, given what happened in Orlando last June and in Manchester just this past week, wouldn't we want to have as many police eyes as possible in their uniforms and with their weapons at this year's parade to protect everyone marching and attending?
(Its just MORE bigotry that Muslims feel obligated to bomb us- according to the twisted thinking of loonie leftist and LIE-beral politicians desperate to buy Muslim votes and cling to power, they THINK we deserve the blood shed!)
I swear. All common sense has flown out the windows at City Hall.
As Stephen Holyday said so rightly: "Either you support the police or you don't...I think we should stand up for them."
We got our answer.
Come on now T-gurly....admit you stopped reading long BEFORE you saw the post! You were afraid your biases might not withstand the logical analysis of your flaws!
Perhaps the judge in the case had formerly shared a padded room with the complainant? And being not fully cured judge followed the voices in his head when rendering the verdict?
Yeah yeah.....and nobody else has ever said anything non politically correct? The FULL video illustrates CLEARLY that gthe cops THOUGHT the audio was off and that they were having a PRIVATE conversation. And it WOULD have been private if the woman driver/mother of the challenged girl had not decided to fight her ticket for running a red light in court!
Two cops having what they foolishly THOUGHT was a completely private conversation are now shamed and embarrassed and will have to apologize for being too stupid to shut off their microphone properly!
It would be a storm in a tea cup except that some cop haters want to shut down and condemn ALL cops for some stupid remarks.
A neighbour of mine came home from his shifty at Zellers on a record cold morning and had a story to tell: a homeless guy had come into the store and shop lifted a toque and some warm gloves- it WAS a record cold day remember.
Store policy is to charge all shop lifters and the homeless guy got picked up by the cops. The two cops talked to the guy and then to the manager, found out what the guy had stolen and its value and the cops PAID for the hat and gloves out of their own pockets and sent the guy on his way with the warm gloves and hat.
Gosh- ALL cops are really just rats in uniform aren't they? Or are they just human beings who sometimes screw up like the rest of us?
