WATERLOO REGION RECORD EDITORIAL

Yesterday's Waterloo Region (K-W) Record had a very interesting Editorial titled : " A fake handgun, a real headache". The Record appropriately point out the obvious namely: "...police committed significant errors last week" . This of course involves the Jessie Sansone case. The Record further states that if there were legitimate concerns for a child's safety then first and foremost a conversation and questions needed to be asked. One of the reasons I'm doubtful that there ever was a legitimate child safety concern is exactly because of the lack of straightforward questions asked. As the Record further states: "Handcuffing someone is hardly an opening for a friendly chit-chat. Arrest and confinement do not qualify as polite dialogue." Mr. Sansone at that point in time had every right to tell the Regional Police to go fuck themselves; he wanted to speak to a lawyer. Further our idiot Police didn't even tell Mr. Sansone the reason why he had been arrested and charged; namely because his four year old daughter drew a picture. This was for a reason. It was an idiotic excuse to arrest, confine and charge a citizen AND THE POLICE BLOODY WELL KNEW IT FROM THE GET GO. My suspicion is that they are so politicized that they are constantly trying to up their, in reality, falling violent crime statistics. I'll just bet that these same police have this whole file under the umbrella of a firearms incident. They never had any intention of clearing this up with a few inquiries or background check on Mr. Sansone. The Police WANTED to make a mountain out of a molehill. They as well as Childrens' Aid in my opinion are constantly looking for reasons to justify their existence and more importantly their budgets. As of this point in time those two groups as well as the School Board have offerred no apologies whatsoever. They are still too busy defending their indefensible behaviour. This is clear evidence as to how out of touch they are with the public and with common sense. What is even scarier is how out of touch they are with the concept of democracy and human rights. They are so far down the path of self righteousness, self importance and non accountability there is virtually nothing in their eyes that they can do wrong. Shame on the pack of them.
