you'll have to understand, I'm pretty sure that's the only "lol" I ever used cause I hate the acronym. You got the one "lol" I have out of me.

"Yay, Cops! They're the best!" Or did you mean "Yay, Cops! Bullies are the best!" nt

If the FBI does nothing then there is no help to deal with thugs who carry a badge other than involved or threatened citizens.

- We cannot have a policy which favors low IQ recruits and those exposed to war, war crimes and PTSD to become civilian cops in our streets and expect any better treatment from them. It doesn't work that way. These people are emotionally damaged, if not worse.

We are now starting to see in our towns and on our streets, what the rest of the world has been putting up with for decades from American troops. Who do you think these cops are???

Police Chief Mike Ewles penalized the officer a month later. The force will not name the officer or discuss the discipline because it did not involve a formal hearing under the Police Services Act.

"As this was dealt with internally and not subject to a hearing under Part V (of the act), I am not at liberty to discuss further details," Selby said in an email.

"I can't identify the name of the officer involved, but after being disciplined, he remains employed with us as a front line police officer."

Under the act, a police chief may resolve such an issue informally without a hearing if he or she believes it was not of "a serious nature." MORE

I can only speak for the SW of PA where I am quite familiar with hiring practices and the hierarchy of how the force considers applications for police, in accordance with the civil service commission.

Ontario, I cannot weigh in on, but I'm betting they have to consider (out of all applicants) ex-military as a priority. A good police chief and local govt manager will stay right on top of it to weed out those with that kind of attitude.

It's all controlled at the top, and you can tell what the top cop is like, according to this video.
