SIU urged to probe OPP officer's attack on grandma

ORILLIA - The lawyer representing a woman who a judge found was karate-kicked and beaten by an OPP officer is crying out to the province’s police watchdog to launch a criminal investigation.
“My client has been permanently maimed,” said Barrie lawyer Angela McLeod, who wants the Special Investigations Unit to investigate. “This officer should be charged with aggravated assault.”
Justice George Beatty ruled Tuesday that OPP Sgt. Russell Watson caused “catastrophic” injuries to Maria “Tonie” Farrell, 48, who was an innocent witness trying to help during an incident in Orillia on April 2, 2013.
Farrell, a Tim Hortons cashier, was still in her uniform when she ran to the rescue of a woman who was being attacked. She was attempting to tell Watson which way the attacker went when he told her to “shut the f--- up.”
The officer then kicked and beat her, forced her into his cruiser with her broken leg dangling while she screamed in pain, then charged her with assaulting him, the judge said.
Farrell suffered a broken tibia, a crushed knee that required several operations and injuries to her neck, head and back.
Immobile and in pain, the grandmother faced further charges because she couldn’t go to court to answer to her assault charge. She then reached out to McLeod, who went to her home.
McLeod contacted the SIU to obtain the police officer’s notes. She was told Watson had refused to hand them over to investigators and refused to do an interview, so the SIU dropped its investigation because it had “no reasonable grounds” to prosecute.
“It’s ludicrous,” McLeod said Wednesday. “The SIU has failed my client and it has failed the people of Ontario.”
McLeod took the case to trial and won. Now, with the judge’s powerful ruling, McLeod wants to see a new investigation.
“This case cries out for the SIU to reopen the case, and if not, the Ontario ombudsman should step in,” McLeod said.
Spokesman Jasbir Brar said the SIU is looking into the matter.
“We have requested a copy of the judge’s decision,” Brar said. “If there is new information, we can reopen a criminal investigation.”
Brar confirmed police are not required to hand over notes or agree to interviews in SIU investigations.
“It is the legal right of an officer who is being investigated to decline interviews or to provide their notes,” she said. “It is based on their rights to protect themselves from self-incrimination.”
She noted the rule is similar to other civilians who have the right to remain silent if police are investigating them.
The OPP did not respond to calls Tuesday or Wednesday, but in an e-mail referred any questions to the SIU and the Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD).

Now i know his name is Ian Bush,I knew lots about his and his families case,i just did not retain his name.
what your readers should know, Ian Bush was taken to the detachment over an open bottle of beer at a community fund raiser hockey game,this was his doom,he ended up dead, and his family engaged in a very mean process of information play and spin.
How our Justice system treated this family as many other families was nothing short of disgusting.
as i indicated in previous blogs,keeping up with incidents of police brutality is one thing,but keeping up with how management oversights this brutality is my thing,there are many Bush families who receive no justice and more so no recognition of changing behaviour including how information is collected,handled and interpretated.
the blame of mismangement of bad behaviour should lay soley on management of individual bad behaviour of members,this is in a perfect design,however,my information auditing clearly shows,division, political amnimosity and lines drawn between rank and Officer when oversight is concerned,this includes the safety of lower rank Officers,higher mangement contributes to bad behaviour in their response of police officers behaviour,then they abandon the Officer.
Politicol policy,weak legislation,spineless motivators of poor policy,bad guise,money and allegiances interfere in shaping good behaviour in law enforcement,where one lives will also effect and influence the shaping of good behaviour of law enforcement.
With Alberta having one party rule for 40 plus years,you will discover evidence of political influence on shaping behaviour and response of lower ranks Officers,much more then some Provinces
all i am saying is do not blame one person for a system of division of respect,blame Ottawa.
he can't show his notes because he has "designer notes",these notes are the Officers own version or the version of information he has been mentored through watching his fellow Officers demonstrate a certain type of information collection,design and application. Overall within the administration and scripture of law and justice,"designer notes are predictable and acceptable,but not in this case,this case is public and far reaching,the sad thing is in my prediction the managers have instructed him not to hand over his notes,management certainly does not want those "designer notes" in their possession because they already know it is "designer notes",they know this because it is an acceptable form of information design within law enforcement,it has been a practice as old as law enforcement itself,the methods have become a little more sophisticated over the years,management has seen it over and over again,i think management does not want those notes because they can play the "daft" card,management already knows what those notes say,they have a plan which is predictable and would be aligned with abandoment of the Officer.Management has a skilled presentation at keeping at an arms length of bad behaviour which is endorsed under normal circumstances.Judge slams OPP officer, acquits Good Samaritan
By Tracy McLaughlin, Special to QMI Agency First posted: Tuesday, December 16, 2014 06:14 PM EST | Updated: Tuesday, December 16, 2014 06:57 PM EST
ORILLIA - A 49-year-old-grandmother who was acting as a “Good Samaritan” was karate-kicked, sucker-punched, beaten and left with “catastrophic injuries” by a police officer, a judge said Tuesday.
It has been two long years since Maria “Tonie” Farrell was charged with assaulting a police officer in an incident that has left her crippled from a shattered knee.
But in his ruling, Justice George Beatty exonerated — and validated — Farrell when he found that it was OPP Sgt. Russ Watson who attacked her while on duty April 2, 2011.
Outside of court, Farrell — still in pain — wept and embraced her lawyer.
“This is the best Christmas present ever,” she said. “I’ve been going through hell ... but I knew the truth would prevail.”
Her defence lawyer, Angela McLeod, wept with her. “The greatest injustice was righted today,” McLeod said.
During the on-and-off trial that dragged out over a year, court heard Farrell, an employee at Tim Hortons, was still in her uniform after work when she heard a woman screaming.
She ran behind a Mac’s convenience store in time to see a woman being punched in the face by a male who ran off. Farrell rushed to the woman’s assistance and when Watson arrived alone on the scene she tried to point out the direction of the assailant.
But she said the officer was aggressive and told her to “shut the f--- up.”
“Mrs. Farrell was acting as Good Samaritan who went to the assistance of a woman who was being assaulted,” the judge said. “She had no criminal record and wanted to assist Sgt. Watson.”
He described the officer as a “controlling,” “large and powerfully built” man.
“Watson kicked her to the side, a karate-kick that snapped her leg,” said the judge. Farrell screamed in agony as she tried to defend herself.
“Watson then jumped on her and punched her on the left side of her face. She turned face-down and Sgt. Watson kept kneeing her in the back,” Beatty said.
With her leg dangling, crying out in pain, Farrell was then handcuffed and taken to the cruiser.
She had injuries to her neck and back, a crushed knee that required several operations, a knee replacement and lost a back tooth. She now lives with her elderly parents because she will never be able to work again and can’t afford to pay rent.
During his testimony, Watson said he suspected Farrell had been drinking. He said she was disruptive and “took a poke” at him, then resisted arrest. But the judge didn’t believe him.
“Sgt. Watson provided no explanation as to how Ms. Farrell’s tibia was broken, or indeed, the reasons for the bruises on her legs and arms and the loss of a tooth,” Beatty said. “His notes did not record the hammer strike to her left eye, which was basically a sucker punch … he suffered no injury and her injuries were catastrophic.”
The judge said even if Farrell’s “excitement and zeal was distractive,” her only intent was to help.
“Police officers are trained and experienced in handling people who may be intoxicated, drug addicted, mentally ill, armed or violent. They apply their psychological skills and use the minimum of force in maintaining the peace and protecting the public,” Beatty said.
“That did not happen in this case.”
The Special Investigation Unit investigated the case and found no reasonable grounds to charge Watson, although he refused to produce his notes.
“Our records show he came in for an interview but he would not provide his notes,” SIU spokesman Jasbir Brar said. “That is within his legal rights.”
The OPP did not respond to calls for comment Tuesday.

Judge slams OPP officer, acquits Good Samaritan | Ontario | News | Toronto Sun
Anyone observe the Braidwood Inquiry when the Officers provided designer testimony when the video showed a different account of what happened,this is the finest example of the power of designer information,and the confidence the Officers had using the designer information,one should ask where did those Officers become so confident with demonstrating pergury?
the question would be the history of the Officer or detachment involved,the history is important,but is it?Within my information auditing i was able to determine collection of information is flexible and more so the complaint process is more then flexible and may result in no information gathered at all.
this is the sad state of affairs by Ottawa management,this Officer probably has some history of distress and bad judgement within his work history, it is more then likely he should have been flagged and offered the help and assistance he needs to become of more sound mind when performing his duties of public service,but instead these repeat challenged Officers demonstrate a spiral down in performing their duties,using the information process to disguise their need for intervention,Ottawa plays dumb and the circle continues,the acceptance of designer notes becomes common place for individuals and detachments.
The above Officer probably believed the informaiton process would free him from accountability,it probably worked before.
What management endorses and holds to lofty standards in private is dismissed in public,how does this work?,this confuses the Officer who needs intervention.
If anyone has had the pleasure or displeasure of placing a complaint against a police Officer or detachment would know the games to be played,it has become an art of application,the design is flexible,the stats skewed,and more so,Ottawa continues to play like they don't know this is going on,this is such a shame,the whole process is abuse of power.The complaint process is filled with tolerated information play and spin,the individual will be exhaused before they reach satisfaction.
Families are trapped in a game of information play, this includes police Officers families,within my information auditing the evidence of manipulation of members families is not different from the general public when placing a complaint,we also see this in Veterns affairs management.Ottawa has a hard time letting go of self interest.The chances of people recieving satisfaction in the complaint process against the administration of law and justice is low,because of the tolerance of "designer information "application,and more so how it is protected as a tool for self governing.
if there has been one public repersentation which has served Canadians in the poorest manner in making a difference in good policy within the administration of law and justice,it would the irritating,self gloating,waste of tax dollars,silver tongued "Public Complaints Commisison against the RCMP".
In all my romantic Liberal thinking i really did believed this commission to be a thereputic information collector, established to shape better policy and procedure,once again my romantic Liberal thinking failed me, i was wrong!
This Commission is a smoke screen for upper management and has demonstrated over and over again and again, they are useless for public good and more so for overall good of the Officers,the Commission is only loyal to Ottawa,and endorses political laisons at the expense of lower rank Officers,along with their families.The Commission is a snake in the grass,and if anything gave me great insights into people and administration,brainwashed people are always interesting to assess.
After i discovered the Commissions wasteful existance, i have not paid much attention to their operations,I have disregarded the Commission as being capable of growth to higher standards.The Commission is below my realm of thinking of administration of law and justice,they serve little or no Constitutional good,their existance is a disfavor to all Canadians,they are a disgusting public service.I have learnt what I know,the Commission made it clear to myself they are not interested in change,they think they are perfect.I would like my readers to know this information auditingof the Commission was some time ago, at least 8 years plus ago,possibly the Commission has moved out of their deluded perch to perform some public good, and more so to serve the Officers they should be serving.
Loyality to designer information comes in different forms and ideas within law and justice,geographic considerations is huge in assessment of "designer information"
I had the good fortune of investigating the self governing bodies of law enforcement,"associations",what a joke that was and for all you union nayers,this is maybe where exampling of unions may be of benifit to the Canadian public.Just a thought,that law enforcement governing themselves may be of benifit for society as a whole.
Unfortunately with the acceptance of the construction of "designer information" paired with,political alligence and the neglect and denial of Ottawa to take responsibility for individual Officers well being ,will continue to enable the administrtion of law and justice to be manipulated and deserving interventions of Officers will go unnoticed,what a sad state of affairs we live in,
Oh Canada
what a great christmas,ill and being able to compulsivly write,pure bliss i would say,possibly i should be ill more christmas's.
another thing about this above "designer information case" is take a look at the advice the officer is acting upon,who is advising him,this is part of a problem,who and how they are repersented in the system,brainwashed to believe something or someone is interested in their well being.First of all and the decent action of legal advise, the first line of action should be handing over those notes to management,the highest management possible,a good advisor would recognize this whole issue is really a management issue and involve as many decision making individuals as possible,managers who are not afraid to recognize Canadians deserve better,but no, who ever is advising this Officer regarding his notes is playing a predictable game,which smells of cheating and loss directed towards the Officer,lower rank Officersand more so Canadians.
i once listened to the Special investigations Unit of Ontario,some above all law enforcement board, a special investigations unit who is suppose to be mindful to bad behaviour within their ranks,i eagarly listened on CBCto someone who sounded impressive and important,my confidence was building just to be instantly deflateda,at the end of the program the wise anouncer then asked about unresolved specific cases,and why the special powers of this investigation unit never resolved the issues which were important to social justice,i recall this powerful person of public regard, stating"we cannot get the information to make a decision,really?i came to realize these special investigation units are big fat smoke screens who are full of themselves,for a while after the program my information auditing had taken me to a different Province,the history of this special investigations unit became the apple of my eye,i wanted to learn more, the special Investigation unit of Ontario became my fixation of administrative assessment.
has anyone read Ontario Special Investigations publications,the "fancy"glossy covered ones?,i placed a complaint with the Premier of Ontario on these publications and more so using public bodies who should be in a position of impartiality to lobby on behalf of law enforcement, in a partisan manner within the publications.i never did hear anything from the good Premier of Ontario ,my complaint was simply about the use of public money for political motivated publications,this lobbying effort took me many places,including the 10 per cent allowance for MP 's for mail out publications.
did anyone receive an abortion publication in their mail with the return address of "House of Commons" a year or so ago? With good fortune i received one of these publications,boy was it confusing,i really wasn't sure what my MP wanted me to do. i decided to investigate these publications, the use of taxpayers money my effort was placed on simple facts such as what MP's mailed out under the 10 per cent allowance abortion solicitation,i was seeking other examples of designs of solicitating and more so what type of response was responded to with this solicitation,after all it is taxpayers money,i wanted to know how this money is being used,after all within my riding i believed there were bigger issues to address,such as the dismantling of the wheat board.
for the record finding anything about which Provinces or ridings involved in the mail outs were top secret ,asthe generated response.My turncoat MP did not want to talk about this publication in my mailbox,he could not even explain what he wanted from me,the Speaker of the House who as i understand is the department who finances the 10 per cent mail outs, did not want to talk about the publication,the Conservative party certainly did not want to talk about it,even thou the information i hold would say the conservative party designed the mail outs.so i am left wondering about all this taxpayers money placed upon self serving publications,particularly partisan politics self serving publications.
it is strange where one series of information auditing takes me,
financing of law enforcement has some interesting history,and these curosities were fullfilled as a result of examining the 10 per cent mail out budget, i have some interesting facts regarding politicol allegiance and the financing of law and justice,may it be the courts,crown prosecutors,etc,here in Alberta .
i examined some financing of ""mr.Big cases',these type of cases are tell all about the relationships of financing and politicol influencing upon these cases,one doesn't really need the FOIP program,these Mr. Big"cases are significant of everything which is bad for Canadians,without a doubt it is the tell tale of the power of time and money,even the supreme court has been manipulated in believing in these masterful designer cases,,but i must say good bye for now,and possibly will share my findings at a later date.
i am going to title my next writings,"Mr. Big'Maythorpe Alberta".We are going to examine what the financing of this case cost taxpayers but more so we are going to examine how time and money manipulated the families,fellow Officers,the Canadian Public,innocent people,we are going to examine the winners and losers in the use of finances for polticol gain,we are going to determine the question should financing be free for all when agendas are established to skew the natural process of law?I hope my readers will establish there are few winners,a whole lot of losers in the design of the "Mr. Big"process of Mayerthorpe Alberta,we are going to establish how so much money enabled such a corrupt process.
my bath is calling me.
watching this video,once again i question why these Officers take their job so seriously.i have law enforcement friends,they don't take their job so seriously,they save the serious stuff for the real stuff,someone who has been here and have lived and learnt as i have knows this wisdom,these heavy handed individuals should be better mentored in how they pick their fights,this should be instructed in cop school,save your energy for the real fights.
someone should instruct these Officers to not take their jobs so serious,
killing someone over cigarettes, is over response and not worth losing professional status over

Very ignorant news report- The occupation of the driver is immaterial, up until it has been proven he did something wrong. How often do you hear "chartered accountant hit pedestrian" or "real estate agent hits pedestrian"?
the occupation of the driver is very important.
my concern is whether or not I distracted driving charge or .05 civil alcohol charge is being brushed away because of his occupation.
up until a couple years ago, there was one or two impaired driving cases involving RCMP and other police just about every month.
They've all miraculously disappeared along with the dozens and dozens of sexual assault cases involving police officers.

The occupation of the driver is important because it determines who investigates the incident.
That has to be about the stupidest f**king statement on the forum for years!!! Of course the occupation of the driver might be important (to the ones who need to know) but the entire f**king world doesn't need to know. But regardless a normal poster wouldn't advertise to the whole wide world that he is stupid!!
) Haven't had such a good laugh for awhile.
it is interesting, that you find it amusing that the only people that should know that this person is off duty cop are the ones that need to know.
and sadly the ones that need to know are quite often the ones involved in coverups.
Maybe that's what you want, go back to the old days where the old boys club manipulated the truth in order to justify their own self-importance.

You just keep getting sillier by the day.
it depends on the reporter,where one lives and how tolerant the public is of the projected news,on details presented.
i don't think law enforcement has control on the information.
Communities will let the writer's of information know what they tolerate,age of the reporter is also important.
Investigations should be standard in application and when they are not,people have a right to question.

Washington, D.C., police have apologized for mistakenly telling a mother they shot and killed her son on Christmas Eve.
It was not Raymond Robinson who shot at officers responding to a robbery call around 3 p.m. last Wednesday. It was not Raymond Robinson who was fatally wounded when cops returned fire.
But it was Raymond Robinson's mother who got a knock on the door early Christmas morning with the news her 29-year-old son was dead, according to NBC4
Then Ray called his mom to wish her a merry Christmas.
"He says, 'Merry Christmas, Mom,' and I said, 'Who is this?'" she told NBC4. "He said, 'Mom, this is Raymond.' I said, 'Boy, they said you died.'"
Police issued a news release Monday saying they'd misidentified the suspect, who was actually 33-year-old Gregory Marcus Gray.
Robinson told the news channel a detective came by Monday evening and apologized.

But it was Raymond Robinson's mother who got a knock on the door early Christmas morning with the news her 29-year-old son was dead, according to NBC4
Then Ray called his mom to wish her a merry Christmas.
"He says, 'Merry Christmas, Mom,' and I said, 'Who is this?'" she told NBC4. "He said, 'Mom, this is Raymond.' I said, 'Boy, they said you died.'"
Police issued a news release Monday saying they'd misidentified the suspect, who was actually 33-year-old Gregory Marcus Gray.
Robinson told the news channel a detective came by Monday evening and apologized.

ATLANTA - A suburban Atlanta police chief on Thursday shot his wife and critically wounded her in what he described as an accidental discharge of his service weapon at the couple's home, officials said.
Peachtree City Police Chief William McCollom, who has been placed on administrative leave while the shooting is investigated, called 911 to report the shooting before dawn, Peachtree City Police Lieutenant Mark Brown said at a news conference.
The shooting occurred in the couple's bedroom, and although McCollom initially told a 911 operator he had shot his wife twice by accident, an initial assessment from the scene indicates that he only fired once, said Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Sherry Lang.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is overseeing the probe into the shooting and its investigators plan to turn over their findings to the local district attorney.
McCollom's wife was taken by emergency helicopter in critical condition to an Atlanta hospital, Brown said.
"The department's hurting at this point, we're very concerned for, obviously, his wife, we're concerned for the chief," he told reporters.
Investigators have not yet spoken to the wife, Lang said.
The service weapon involved in the shooting was Brown's Glock 17 9 mm handgun, Brown said.
McCollom, who has been the police chief of the Atlanta suburb of Peachtree City for about a year, is cooperating with investigators, said Lang, who added that she could not at this stage reveal many details about the shooting.
District Attorney Scott Ballard said his office will bring charges if a crime is found to have occurred.
"We have no leanings one way or another at this point because we just don't know," he said.
