In Canada it is legal to film police while they perform their duties in public. Unfortunately, too many police officers believe the opposite and violate our rights, often with violent consequences to the photographer. Michael Farkas is one man who paid a high price for photographing police. That price came in the form of a brutal beating at the hands of Niagara Regional … [Read more...]
Montreal Police Constable Stephanie Trudeau: Just Another Thug Cop?

Toronto Police Services constable Edward Ing is acquitted of police brutality
Toronto Police Services constable Edward Ing hit the jackpot with his retrial on charges of police brutality. Despite a scathing indictment of his actions by the judge in his first trial, Justice Steven Clark managed to rule: “There was an air of reality to his explanation.” Wow. Really?

Thug RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler suddenly pleads guilty?
When it comes to police brutality cases I don’t surprise easy. So often they are pathetically predictable.

Shocking But True! Good Cops Really Exist!
In the midst of the Geoff Mantler police brutality trial it's easy for us to forget that not all cops are brutal thugs with badges and guns who believe they are above the law.

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. Geoff Mantler is a danger to society and, like every other violent offender, he should spend a very long time in prison. Testimony at Mantler’s trial … [Read more...]

Brutal Thug (and Kelowna RCMP Constable) Geoff Mantler will finally face trial for kicking Buddy Tavares in the face
Anyone who has visited this site before will know precisely what I think of Kelowna RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler.

Geoff Mantler will now stand trial in Kelowna, BC, on November 26, 2012 for the brutal kick to the … [Read more...]
