Winnipeg Cops lying through their teeth again...

Yup Freeman again that needs a line drawn from tax dollars to reality as always...GGF

The reality is, at least speaking for myself, so much of what goes on, has an impact on taxes. People who don't recycle, or waste water, or shovel their snow onto the street, cheating on their income tax, have an imnpact on tax dollars. Al I'm saying is that its a weak argument in this case.

The real issue is cops behaving badly. Period...freeman (sorry, Manta, its contagious)

Freeman you are all over the darn place already...GGF

I've found out through a confidential source that the city will not be putting the water on.

This thing appears to be growing legs as a few more people get involved...can't say who at this point.

On a weird note.

Someone suggested to me that this guy may be a 'confidential informant'.

As you all know these guys have literally gotten away with murder in the past. That would make sense of the way the coppers are treating this piece of sh1t..

"Someone suggested to me that this guy may be a 'confidential informant'."

Well thats solves your problem then doesn;t it?

Just get the media involved.

@deanK, good posting. While most of us are reasonably intelligent, many of us have failing eyesight....DON'T EVERY USE A FONT THAT SMALL AGAIN....Jeez.

You have obviously missed the point of my posts. Anyone can argue that a multitude of sins has an impact on the ultimate cost to the taxpayer, but that is a weak argument and most of us grasp the concept.

I would like to point out that it was you who took this path when you brought in the idea that the poor behaviour of the police would lead to more cost to the taxpayer. I am merely pointing out to you that, that is an obvious concept.

After all this crap has been disposed of, I will be on a misson to fix the Residential Tenancies Act and frick-up a number of cocksuc.. cops through LERA.

These mofos have a lot of explaining to do.

you aint gonna be able to do nothing to that act with the nippers in power.

So, tell us how you really feel!

Kidding aside, is there any value in putting your story in front of the media?

The courts are above the fcuken Nippers.

That's where my efforts will lead if they frick around.

I insist that I will be on a mission...if it's the last thing I ever do, I'll change the Act and frick some cops up big-time....as they deserve to be fcuked up.


Don't forget Dean, as Rosie says, it costs $20.00 to file a Statement of Claim... and that will cost the City a hellava lot more than $20.00 to fight in court.

There are a few lawyers that already want to take this on a contingency basis...there's money in this affair afterall...even an idiot cop can see that. lol

Not from a financial point, but from a public image perspective there sure is.

Ok Freeman...You are pointing out to me that it is an obvious concept by asking me to give you variables to questions that no one else can answer including yourself?...Whatever...It would be far simpler if you simply said that you were trying to point out whatever you were trying to point out instead of trying to discredit someone with questions you yourself cannot answer...GGF

@GGF, OK, let me just as you...are you daft? Read the bloody posts. You made the statement about the cost to the taxpayers, not me.

Believe me, it takes no effort to discredit what you post.

Freeman you said:

Whatever Freeman...As long as you Freeman continue to ask "OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS" that you yourself Freeman can not even answer but expect others to do so such as myself...and...

And which demonstrates more of a "Bully Mentality" then true intelligence from you Freeman...GGF

@GGF..have you been told today?

Bye bye Freeman...GGF

The guy may have had to spend maybe not a whole lot longer in jail but who truly knows after the facts?...and...

And to boot as a result of the Police not following proper "Protocol" that same criminal now has grounds for a law suit...and...

And what truly angers me is that it is actually the so call perb that's laughing all the way to the bank because some nit whit Cop(s) didn't follow proper "Protocols" when they arrested him...and...

And it is my(your) tax dollars that are paying for all of it at the end of the day...and...

And the million dollar question is how on earth can those with a brain in their heads support the Cops actions?...GGF

Just to remind everyone, this is where it started.

So tell me again why you guys felt this pile of crap was treated badly by the cops.
Unless you enjoy paying taxes so he can use the (in)Justice system as his own revolving door toy.

I think the video speaks for itself. I never defended this guy, but do the cops deserve to administer whatever punishment they see fit. No doubt that this is not the last we'll hear of Cory Bousquet, but that still doesn't eradicate the video.

It's clear you don't get it so I can't be bothered discussing it further with you than I already have.

Even the Judge said it was wrong.

Judge Ray Wyant said he didn’t see “any evidence of overt resistance.” Wyant said there was no excuse for the degree of force seen on the video.

“There are some people who would look at that video and say ‘What’s the big deal, he got what he deserved?’” Wyant said. “No amount of excessive force would ever be condoned by this court, no matter what the circumstances.”

IMHO SOME judges get things wrong too!
Like perp-friendly sentences.

If the cop's hadn't got caught on video, this would all be moot.

Place the blame where it's deserved...they got caught.

Two wrong's don't make a right.

"If the cop's hadn't got caught on video, this would all be moot. "

And doesn't that terrify the crap out of you to think that IF there was no video...
How many times is there no video? Why aren't our cops wearing cameras yet?

Yes, but as it's been stated to me many times, only pussies think like that. I keep hearing how "back in the good'ol days" they'd hire thugs to be cops...they'd "take care" of the riff raff....maybe with a bat, maybe with a fist or a boot....maybe they take you for a little drive to a quarry for a little while....whatever...it was "taken care of" and THAT's what we need to have more of.

To those who think like that...you got your wish, and we all got to see what that looks like.

Did that make things any better?

No.

What happened in the aftermath?

The perp was let off - due to misconduct - not because he comitted a crime and got away with it. He was BUSTED and the chance to convict him was lost the very second that video was released...

Had the video not been rolling, this woudn't be a problem, and the aformention crowd would be satisfied that "justice" was handed out.

And bleeding heart panzies who respect due process and the rule of law (like me) wouldn't have anything to complain about.
