Father | Police Officer | Working to Reform Police Leadership & Culture | Identifying Police Corruption | Sanctuary Trauma is real | Opinions are my own
This concept of institutional loyalty within law enforcement, and the prioritizing of the institution over individual members or public service always leads to ethical dilemmas. Those dilemmas lead to police corruption or internal betrayal. The solution isn't complicated. The truth should always be the goal. As soon as a high ranking members considers how to deal with an issue through the lens of "protecting the organization" - they have already started down the wrong path.
Did those in the picture protect members or the Buffalo at all costs?
Loyalty and friendship, which is to me the same, created all the wealth that I've ever thought I'd have.
- Ernie Banks
The difference between Ernie Banks and many in the RCMP, driven into members from depot onward, is that their loyalty is to the Buffaloโwildly misplaced.
Those who choose this rather than loyalty to each other and the public they serve, always doing the right thing rather than the expected "protect the force at all costs," may never make it to the top but are indeed the ones who deserve our respect, admiration and our loyalty to them.
Again, I ask, did those in the picture protect members or the Buffalo at all costs?
@ChrisLewisLLS@mobinfiltrator I have to wonder how long this behavior went on without any "leadership" intervention. Im not defending the accused... but i have to wonder how many "leaders" knew of his behavior and did nothing. This is all about the police culture...and that is driven top down.
@unlearn16tweet@miles_commodore Or...ask whether her brother did anything to try and feed himself, or did he just sit back and wait for the "workers" to look after him?
@mobinfiltrator It took 4 years to resolve. 4 years suspended with pay. Never told the victim. Then - 40 hours and can't be promoted for 2 years. The public has every right to be losing faith in the police disciplinary system.

Not sure what you are trying to establish by this message. Where you live, perhaps EV works, Ontario is a big place and those of us you enjoy the outdoors and the north, nothing in the EV market serves the purpose. I drive a 2500 HD Diesel, I accept the cost because it serves the lifestyle most people in "Northern" Ontario enjoy.
A Jewish man who taught animation at Seneca was shot dead while walking his dog last week. Police call it a "targeted incident". The news coverage doesn't mention that the man arrested for the murder is a former police officer.
Bizarre...

JB, When I first really became interested in Nascar, it was because of the "White Car" run. From there through the MBV days, you were the guy I tuned in to watch. I just watched your interview with Dale Jr. Total class act. Hope you and the family are good.
@mobinfiltrator@ChrisMaslanka This is quite entertaining... anyone who claims to be a "polymath" ( i had to look it up too) probably isn't. @ChrisMaslanka seems to hold a high opinion of himself. Pilymath is still a ?, but I can think of many other terms that also might fit.
Again, it appears I have run afoul of you Chris. I don't think I put any words in your mouth and I certainly didn't "lose my shit". In fact, I think I provided excellent context and policy to aid in the discussion. Simply because it was contrary to your opinion doesn't equate to "losing shit". However, I apologize if it that was how the comments were interpreted. Wasn't my intent but, in my defense, your opinion was based on "public perception" in some fashion. What I do note is that you didn't comment on the UOF once interpreted with our UOF model. I am very interested in that answer.
Your comment about "mandatory charge" policy aside, you are very correct in your evaluation of the system related to parents not abiding by court orders is correct - it is a disaster. You mis-direct the blame on police officers not knowing the criminal code. You need to read section 283 further and understand subsection (2). It says police can't initiate proceedings without AG consent. That consent was rare...the AG policy was that these matters (unless extreme) belong in family court. Now, before you tear me a new one, I disagree with this and tried many times to lay this charge. Only once did I get the approval. In the Calgary case, after seeing some of the history, at the very least, a well being check was required. I would make sure this was done in every instance I faced and did everything I could to gain compliance with the court order. You are also correct, apprehension orders are hard to get but not impossible.
I faced this in my own separation, I was always diligent in obeying the court order. My former spouse, not so much. Family Court would never do anything...it is a weak system unwilling to enforce their own orders. So, my point is this - the entire system is a disaster - but where I challenge you is in blaming the police and suggesting they don't know the law...
