William (Bill) Berry is a two-time cancer survivor who is also deaf and mute. He breathes through a tube in his throat. By any scale imaginable he is a frail man but that didn't stop Alberta Sheriff Thomas Bounds from attacking Bill Berry in the Red Deer courthouse two years ago. No, the thug with a badge and a bucket-full of attitude to go with it felt justified grabbing … [Read more...]
Thug RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler suddenly pleads guilty?
[powerpress] When it comes to police brutality cases I don’t surprise easy. So often they are pathetically predictable.

RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler “tossed under the bus” by RCMP Brass?
Ever since video of Kelowna RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler’s brutal kick to the face of Buddy Tavares was made public, I’ve stated that this thug should be in prison, not walking the streets with a badge and a gun.

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.

Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair caught Lying to Parliament?
It sure looks like it in this YouTube video. The classic quote from this [alleged] fibber : "I have not seen any Police using excessive force." I guess he should open his eyes next time he's "viewing" videotape from the G20 protests. That's the only reason I can fathom for this yahoo to claim there was no cases of excessive force. If police forces across Canada want … [Read more...]
Australian Police taking Taser Use Lessons from the RCMP?
