This Blog will discuss politics, government, corruption, police, S.I.U., courts, education, min. of attorney general, min. of labour, v.o.i.c.e. and other current and past events of interest to concerned citizens. In the "About me" section to the right and down I have included the names of persons whom I have tremendous respect for. Their influence on me however has been primarily environmental (and personal) and this is therefore a disclaimer that all words posted on this Blog/Website are mine and I alone am responsible for them. I say this with the greatest respect and affection to my friends.

WATCHING THE BOYS SQUIRM



Today's Waterloo Region Record carries the following Editorial titled "Tense days for regional police". I suggest that that title is an understatement. This is an organization clouded in secrecy, non-transparent and always hiding behind an attitude of trust us, don't question us, we're here to protect your very lives. Yes they are an essential service but the public service aspect is far too often forgotten. Also occasionally is either individual members abuse of their authority and even more shocking the abuse of authority at the higher levels of the organization. The current class action lawsuit by female police officers against the force speaks to the abuse of authority from the top down. And it speaks very loudly.

As the Record indicates, the allegations in the lawsuit are shocking. They include male supervisors and superintendents sending a female officer nude photos as well as intentionally pressing against their buttocks. I was going to say this is at the high school level of maturity but then realized that when I was in high school any male student who did that would be immediately suspended. Teachers not so much. Hmm I guess the double standard not just between the genders but between those in authority and those being supervised has always been with us.

The Record concludes that "...there are unresolved tensions and a significant level of dysfunction within this police department." That too I feel is a very mild statement as to the unaccountable behaviours within and without the Waterloo Regional Police.

    I expect that the officers who have been named in the recent (Dec. 19/17) Court Affidavits will become public very soon. Here's a couple to keep you going until more are made public: Mike Mann & Frank Monteiro retired and currently City of Cambridge Councillors.
