Orwell's Bastard
Any charges against these asshole cops?
Ha. From McCormack to Boothby to Fantino to Blair, nothing ever changes, no matter who the martinet on top is. A dysfunctional, militaristic, quasi-fascist organization with a culture designed to avoid accountability and protect the assholes in its midst while their buddies go blind, deaf and dumb.
Plus ca change.
Well, now. This could get interesting.
Nice work, York police board.
In the OIPRD report, Charlebois admitted saying, “This ain’t Canada right now” and “there are no civil rights here,” but insisted it was just “crap talk.”
“I mean, (Figueiras is) going, ‘I have my rights, this is Canada,’ all this stuff. I’m just giving him gibber back, right?” Charlebois told investigators. “We do it all the time. Guys are talking nonsense and he got nonsense back.”
When questioned about why he put his arm around Figueiras, Charlebois said he was giving him a “hug.” He also explained that he was feeling for any “obvious” weapons in his backpack.
Arrogant fucking pig.

Heh. Suck it, officers.
So the Toronto Police Services Board has engaged retired Ontario judge John Morden to “review” police conduct at last summer’s G20 summit. I’m sure they’ll get to the bottom of this mess now!
And meanwhile in B.C., the four Mounties who tasered Robert Dziekanski to death are facing perjury charges. Not murder or manslaughter or assault, mind, but at least it’s a start.
I’ve already milked the “send them to bed without supper” line almost dry, so …
At last, some accountability. I bet the judge is going to frown at them extra sternly.
And here we were thinking cops can get away with anything.
