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 Buffalo—wildly 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?

“But all complaints or representations to the police board are required to go through the chief.” That is not the law. That is the made up law that allows chiefs to discipline those who report them to the board. I know first hand. lfpress.com/st-thomas/police…

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... thestar.com/news/gta/north-y…

On behalf of OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique Behind every call for service is a first responder who has made a commitment to #PublicSafety. Today, I want to recognize the dedication of those who step forward with courage and care during moments of crisis. Thank you for supporting communities across Ontario.

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.

BREAKING: President Trump responds to reports of him possibly wearing a bulletproof vest following his third assassination attempt at the WHCA Dinner, joking that he doesn’t want to look "20 pounds heavier." "I don't know if I can handle looking 20 pounds heavier. These guys, they look so some of these guys, some of these guys are physical specimens." "I guess it's something you consider. In one way, you don't like to do it because you're giving in to a bad element. I don't know. But I have been asked about it."

It's clear that the #OPP have knowledge of what's on Dougie's cell phone.

Who did this?

So overtime fraud. Overtime fraud isn’t rare, it’s just rarely exposed. Working specialized units in #Canada, I’ve seen officers in drugs/ OC units burn the first 6 hours of a shift - breakfast, chatting, gym - then roll out late, serve a warrant, and suddenly claim 8 hours OT. *The CFSEU GH RCMP were terrible for this back when I worked there. And that’s the mild end. In Jacksonville, #Florida, three officers have been charged after allegedly claiming more than 450 hours of OT they never worked, netting over $33,000. That’s not working the system, it's just common theft. Taxpayers fund policing. They don’t expect to fund hours that were never worked. Real accountability means auditing OT, not just reacting when it blows up. And there is zero auditing of OT at any police department I've worked for. #onpoli #canpoli #police #corruption

A lot of people are debating when lethal force would’ve been justified. If you’re in the State of Florida, once he starts kicking the door, that becomes an attempted burglary. A couple rounds through the door at that time would be considered justifiable.
