What the hell. Only 18 months probation for that? You’d think that the legal system would punish police officers and people in power over others more harshly because they set and example, are trusted with keeping peace, and being lawful citizens, but instead they get off with a slap on the wrist instead of facing actual consequences. And then they get their careers back on a silver platter most of the time. Ffs Canada
The nation desperately needs police reform!
Stuff like this, or disabling body cam footage IMO should result in immediate termination and absolutely no union protection
There's someone working for Kingston Ontario police who was harassing his wife/girlfriend. There was an article about him pleading guilty that kept the victim 100% anonymous... Then he makes public statements to the press. Reveals its his significant other that they owned a home together with. Claims he "pleaded guilty because he couldn't afford a legal defense." You literally get one whether you can afford one or not.
The guy makes 200k per year. Funny this hate criminal kicking heads is getting 18 months because so did this Kingston cop! A YEAR AND A HALF 100% PAID VACATION. Now he's back with a comfy administrative desk job.
You know what happens when locals criticise the cops? They literally tell us "you should be careful, we might now show up when you need us."
Any cop saying this should be charged with uttering threats
Honestly most police get promoted for their hate crimes so this is really good news. And of course it's not just Canada, it's everywhere with police.
