Back on February 14, 2012 I wrote the following under the title “There is a special place in hell reserved for you, Officer Ladmarald Cates”: When you dial 9-1-1 you expect the police to arrive and help you. The very last thing you think you’re doing is calling Dial-A-Rapist, yet that’s exactly what happened to a 19-year-old Milwaukee single mom who cannot be identified by … [Read more...]
RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler WALKS on assault charge, as predicted
As much as I would like to have been surprised by Geoff Mantler being acquitted of assaulting Manjit Singh Bhatti on August 30, 2010, sadly I am not. I predicted he would be acquitted on July 12, 2012 in my article titled Constable Geoff Mantler’s Fate in Assault Trial awaits Judge Mark Takahashi’s decision. While my good friend and un-indicted co-conspirator Jane Gaffin … [Read more...]
Constable Geoff Mantler’s Fate in Assault Trial awaits Judge Takahashi’s decision
It’s not surprising that Provincial Court Judge Mark Takahashi has reserved his decision in RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler's police brutality trial in Kelowna, BC. Judge Takahashi has two conflicting stories to reconcile, as well as figure out who to believe. The victim in this case, Manjit Singh Bhatti, is an admitted crack cocaine addict with a history of substance abuse. … [Read more...]
Thug RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler finally faces the first of two assault charges
Thug cop and Kelowna RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler is well-known to anyone who follows cases of RCMP misconduct. In January 2011 he made international headlines after video surfaced of him [allegedly] brutally kicking Buddy Tavares in the face as Tavares knelt on the ground in front of him. I hate having to preface that comment with [allegedly] but even thugs like RCMP … [Read more...]
RCMP Cpl. Monty Robinson sentencing for obstructing justice in Orion Hutchinson’s death delayed again
Orion Hutchinson was a young man with a bright future until RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson killed him after having 6 drinks at a party. Now Robinson's much-anticipated sentencing for obstruction of justice in Orion Hutchinson's death will be delayed until July 20, 2012. My sincerest hope is that Monty Robinson will be sentenced to the maximum time possible for his … [Read more...]
There is a special place in hell reserved for you, Officer Ladmarald Cates
When you dial 9-1-1 you expect the police to arrive and help you. The very last thing you think you’re doing is calling Dial-A-Rapist, yet that’s exactly what happened to a 19-year-old Milwaukee single mom who cannot be identified by law as a victim of sex crimes. Within minutes of her 9-1-1 call, a police cruiser arrived with two police officers inside it. The first took … [Read more...]
British Columbia not the only place killer cops are kept on the payroll. Florida does too.
I’ve written extensively about cases where RCMP members stationed in British Columbia have murdered citizens and gotten away with it. It’s happened enough times now that most people recognize there is a very serious issue with accountability within the RCMP, or more specifically, the lack of accountability within the RCMP. This is not strictly an RCMP issue or even a BC … [Read more...]
Is it any wonder there’s so much Police Brutality?
I just watched the video of Gatineau, Quebec Police attempting to shoot a calf with their handguns. It’s a very disturbing video to watch even if you’re just a regular human being and not some holier-than-thou animal rights activist. Citing “officer safety” and “protecting the public” as their reasons for shooting the calf, Gatineau Police find themselves indicted around the … [Read more...]
RCMP Constable Andy Yung: Reason #2 to Dump the BC RCMP
Anyone reading my articles about thuggish RCMP constables and corporals will no doubt be a little surprised by my choice of RCMP Constable Andy Yung as my #2 reason for getting the RCMP out of British Columbia. He certainly would never have been my first choice if he hadn't hit the headlines just this past week. There is one man who had this spot locked up solid (RCMP … [Read more...]
The sad tale of two police forces and the differences in how they deal with “high-risk” takedowns
The other day I wrote about the case of Sammy Sobieh, the Edmonton business owner who was [allegedly] the subject of police brutality at the hands of the Edmonton Police Service. In the video released to the public of that event, it is clear that Sammy Sobieh is both unarmed and compliant with police demands. Yes, even though there is no audio and despite the protests of … [Read more...]
Edmonton Police Service Constable Mike Wasylyshen needs a hard look in the mirror
Edmonton Police Service Constable Mike Wasylyshen, the son of former Edmonton Police Chief Bob Wasylyshen, needs to take a serious look in the mirror. He's just sued CBC Television for $100,000 for defamation over their reporting of his illustrious career. The suit shouldn't last long. Probably ten seconds in front of a judge would be my bet. Why? The Truth is a … [Read more...]
Edmonton Police Service showcases their very own thugs with badges and guns
The Edmonton Police Service showed they weren't about to let the RCMP or Toronto Police Service show them up when it comes to police brutality; that they could hold their own against any police force in the country when it comes to beating the crap out of the citizens they are supposedly there to protect. Sammy Sobieh released video that he claims shows members of the … [Read more...]
Toronto Police handcuff 9-year-old in daycare center; teach scary lesson to every kid there
While this story is only coming to light now, back in July members of the Toronto Police Service inexplicably felt an overwhelming desire to handcuff a 9-year-old child with Asperger Syndrome. The child, who has been diagnosed with a host of manufactured disorders such as ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (remember when kids used to be just kids, not walking, talking … [Read more...]
RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler will go on trial for kicking Buddy Tavares in the face
RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler will go on trial for kicking Buddy Tavares in the face. That's great news. The only down-side? It will be well over a year from now before that trial starts. The trial will begin on November 26, 2012, and for reasons beyond my comprehension, they say it will take three weeks to decide whether or not Mantler is guilty of assaulting Buddy … [Read more...]
Toronto Police Services constable kills Charlie McGillivary, then sits at home “deciding” whether or not he will speak with investigators
The Toronto Police Services need to be reformed! They have killed again. This time their victim was Charlie McGillivary, a mentally ill man who was going for a walk with his mom on August 7th, 2011. "He was a boy trapped in a man's body," said his neighbour, Karlene Steer. "He was a big man who loved pizza, ice cream and pop and that's why his mom had him out for a walk … [Read more...]
Something Stinks at the Hamilton Police Service: Justice Paul Currie
In yet another case of police abusing their power and then [allegedly] lying about it in court, Justice Paul Currie delivered a scathing report on the actions of Hamilton Police Service Detective Constable Ryan Toucher and his fellow constables during a May 10, 2010 raid. There are a few things about this story that really make my blood boil. First, Constable Ryan Toucher … [Read more...]
Toronto Police just love strip-searching people for almost any reason at all
Toronto Police just love strip-searching people for almost any reason at all. So the Toronto Star report would have us believe, at least. According to their report, roughly 60% of all people arrested in 2010 were strip-searched by Toronto Police Services personnel. Previously-released figures on the numbers of strip searches show this number has been steadily climbing over … [Read more...]
Freedom of Speech? Not if you protested the G-20 in Toronto…
I find it "interesting" that in Canada, a nation that claims to be a defender of our God-given Rights and Freedoms, we have judges telling people they cannot exercise their Right to Freedom of Speech. It would seem that even after the largest number human rights violations in Canadian history, the affronts to our fundamental Rights and Freedoms isn't going to end any time … [Read more...]
Ottawa Police Constable Kevin Jacobs charged in brutal beating of Mark Krupa
Ottawa Police Constable Kevin Jacobs has been charged in brutal beating of Mark Krupa that took place on Mother's Day 2009. Mark and his brother were on the way to Mark's home, having just come from dinner with their mother. They were stopped at a red light. A man pulled up beside them and started berating them and generally making an ass of himself. That man turned out … [Read more...]
No more police charges in Adam Nobody case says Ontario Special Investigations Unit
I'm shocked. Utterly shocked. Yeah, like the whole world didn't see this coming. Despite having video footage and a ton of other information, no one is able to identify any of the cops that swarmed and beat the crap out of Adam Nobody during last year's G20 riots. Is it just me, or are you disgusted with both the Toronto Police Service and the Ontario Special … [Read more...]
William Norman Grigg on what he calls “the Police Epidemic”
If you've never heard of Willian Grigg before, then I've got a real treat for you. He's a voice of reason in an increasingly world filled with insanity. To quote his bio on WillGrigg.com: An award-winning investigative journalist, William Norman Grigg was the senior editor and a prolific contributor to The New American, the official magazine of the John Birch Society. His … [Read more...]
For Toronto Police Services Constables Edward Ing and John Cruz the Special Treatment Just Won’t Stop
Not that it came as much of a surprise, but the ruling by Ontario Superior Court Justice Maureen Forestell still disgusts me. Yesterday I wrote about how my two latest thug cops, Toronto Police Services Constables Edward Ing and John Cruz, were applying to have their firearms prohibition orders revoked or "temporarily" removed, ostensibly so they can keep their jobs. Why … [Read more...]
Toronto Police Service convicted thugs Edward Ing and John Cruz want MORE special treatment
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about two Toronto Police Services constables, Edward Ing and John Cruz, who were convicted of brutally assaulting a 60-year-old disabled man, Richard Moore. Despite that conviction and the judge's disgust with them both for lying in court, neither cop was sent to prison. Instead they were sent home and told not to do it again. Ouch! The … [Read more...]
Buddy Tavares sues RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler and I hope he wins
Buddy Tavares, the man [allegedly] kicked brutally in the face by RCMP thug... I mean constable Geoff Mantler, has filed a lawsuit against Constable Geoff Mantler, Mantler's female partner, the Attorney General of BC and the City of Kelowna. Fantastic! If there is any common sense left in our justice system, this lawsuit should be a slam-dunk, especially considering that … [Read more...]
Toronto cops beat the crap out of a guy, lie in court and get sentenced to house arrest?
Beat the crap out of a guy, lie about your actions in court, and because you're a cop, you get nothing but house arrest? [Sarcasm Mode ON] Thank God there's no double-standard in sentencing police versus us ordinary folks! Toronto Police Service constable Edward Ing and Toronto Police Service constable John Cruz beat the crap out of Richard Moore because he heckled them … [Read more...]
RCMP who killed Robert Dziekanski face Perjury Charges
RCMP Constable Gerry Rundel, RCMP Constable Bill Bentley, RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson and RCMP Constable Kwesi Millington, the four men who killed Robert Dziekanski in Vancouver International Airport, have now been charged with perjury for lying about their actions to the inquiry into Robert Dziekanski's death. Thank God for that. These four men took all of about 15 … [Read more...]
Film police killing a man, get a policeman’s weapon stuck in your face
It's a darn good thing America isn't a Police State. Can you imagine what police would be like if it was? I'm speaking specifically about Miami police unloading probably half a dozen service pistols into one man, and as soon as he's dead they turn their weapons on anyone watching this all go down. Anyone with a cell phone is threatened, has their cell phone taken, smashed … [Read more...]
Jose Guerena, murdered by Pima County SWAT Team, honoured by Oath Keepers on Memorial Day
For anyone not familiar with the horrific story of Jose Guerena, the former US Marine gunned down by the Pima County SWAT Team, here is a brief recap. Jose Guerena is a a decorated US Marine. He served two tours in Iraq and faced all kinds of dangers during both tours. After leaving the Marine Corps he got a job at a local mine near Tucson to support his wife and young … [Read more...]
Niagara Regional Police Const. Nathan Parker faces the music
From the outside view looking in, it would appear that Niagara Regional Police Constable Nathan Parker has an anger management issue. This is not the first time that Constable Parker has faced the disciplinary board for his over-reaction to a situation. In June of 2006 he was found guilty of using excessive force after he pepper-sprayed a teenager who was handcuffed in the … [Read more...]
Ontario Provincial Police claim success after terrorizing man at the wrong address
The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are no strangers to the finer arts of propaganda. What else do you call an official press release that claims "operational success" after launching a stun grenade into the wrong address and then holding an innocent man at gunpoint? Well, I personally would start with "incompetent". Incompetent is a good word for not being able to get … [Read more...]
