G20 CANADIAN DISGRACE STILL NOT SETTLED

Seven years later and the case continues to drag on. Unbelievable. This case put Canada squarely on the world wide map for human rights abuses by either governments or their police forces. Toronto Police and their reinforcements essentially went apeshit over a few bad apples who vandalized a couple of police cars. "Kettling" or trapping large numbers of people by blocking both ends of the street was done by police in an ill guided and ill managed attempt to catch a few perpetrators. All the police accomplished was to prove to the world as well as canadaians paying attention that our police forces are out of control, unaccountable and non-transparent.

Today's Waterloo Region Record carries the on-going story of Adam Nobody. He was beaten by one police officer while others stood around and watched. The officer has received a criminal conviction for assault yet somehow remains a police officer. This is absurd. Mr. Nobody is attempting to have him removed as a police officer which certainly seems to make sense under all the circumstances. The title of today's article in the Record is "First of two G20 police misconduct cases delayed".
