Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS) Constable Nathan Parker’s history of violent outbursts against citizens and fellow cops alike is well known. What’s less well understood is why this thug still carries a badge and a gun. He is a disaster waiting to explode and, if his long history of physical abuse is anything to go by, it’s only a matter of time before he seriously … [Read more...]

Pokémon Go Cops Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell Lose Appeal to Get Jobs Back
On April 15, 2017, Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell were LAPD officers. Pokémon Go was all the rage, and these two officers chose to ignore a request for assistance from a fellow officer because catching a Snorlax (a Pokémon Go character) was way more important to them. Thankfully, their dereliction of duty did not cost that officer's life, but it did cost these two morons … [Read more...]

Ottawa Police Constable Ripped for Charter Violations by Justice David Berg
Justice David Berg lambasted Ottawa Police Service Constable Corey Bourguignon for lying under oath when he ruled Vincent Lebrun’s Charter rights were violated so egregiously the evidence against him must be excluded.

On May 5, 2021, Halifax Regional Police Constable Pierre-Paul Cadieux and Constable Steve Logan were found guilty of racism by the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission.

Should We Amend Hate Speech Laws to Protect Police Officers?
I read an interesting article in the Winnipeg Free Press last week where a retired Winnipeg Police Service member pitched the idea that police officers needed to be protected under Canada's hate speech laws.

Government Power Always Comes From the Barrel of a Gun
“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” It’s said that Mao Zedong, the most famous of Justin Trudeau’s dictatorial Chinese idols, first uttered this maxim on August 7, 1927. I think it was Naheed Nenshi, Calgary’s Masked Mayor, on December 18, 2020. For the sake of today’s political commentary, I’m going to attribute this quote to Calgary Mayor … [Read more...]

Centerton Police Officer Blake Almond and Someone’s Negligent Discharge
Safe storage laws have their place - especially when children are in the home.

The neighbour immediately called police to report the crime. Neighbour: “a bullet just shot … [Read more...]
OPP Sergeant Mike Dolderman Charged With 5 Counts of Sexual Assault

He will also face five counts of breach of trust. He was … [Read more...]
Brian Sauvé, Head of Police Union, Opposes Public Inquiry into Nova Scotia Murders
Brian Sauvé, president of the union representing front-line RCMP constables, publicly opposes an inquiry into the RCMP's handling of the Nova Scotia murders on April 18th and 19th, 2020. This stance is moronic… yet it’s also wholly predictable. I am appalled to read Brian Sauvé’s claim that an inquiry can only hurt front-line RCMP members. “Members on the street wear … [Read more...]
Toronto Det. Const. Daryl Gazey “Not Credible as a Witness” says Judge
It's hard enough, most days, for police to make a case stick in court. That job is even harder when a case is intentionally undermined by an allegedly corrupt cop. Welcome to the story of alleged heroin dealer Siavash Norouzian, undercover Toronto Police Service Detective Constable Daryl Gazey and data from a few of cell phones. It's a story which, through a series of odd … [Read more...]

Niagara Regional Police Constable Nathan Parker: Innocent Victim or One Bad Cop?
If Dana Audet is to be believed, her fiance, Niagara Regional Police Constable Nathan Parker, is not a bad man, He's simply misunderstood.

While I wrote extensively about Bader's case and the RCMP corruption … [Read more...]

Rachel Small: RCMP Due Diligence or Violation of Privacy?

Is Westminster Police Department officer Curtis Arganbright a Sexual Predator?
Bad cops are the exception, not the rule, thank God. Police, more often than not, band together behind the Blue Wall fo Silence when police officers commit crimes.

Did RCMP Deputy Commissioner Peter Henschel Lie to Committee?
As you know, Minister of Public Safety Ralph Goodale introduced Bill C-52 on Friday, June 9, 2017. That bill is, for the most part, designed to give Quebec the all of the long gun registry records it sought in its lawsuit against the federal government.

Constable Dario Devic faces criminal charges after Creep Catchers sting

RCMP Constables Selling Cocaine On The Job All In A Day’s Work, Right?
One of the things I love about the RCMP is their willingness to allow their constables to earn extra cash on the side. Sometimes that side job gets in the way though, when there is no oversight of those "side jobs". Such is the case of former Kamloops RCMP Constable Randi Love. Ms. Love faces three counts of selling cocaine while serving as an RCMP Constable. It's not very … [Read more...]
