I searched her name and a Linkedin profile located in Hamilton pops up, possibly her. The search brought comments on FB stating:

-Officer was apparently in uniform
-Possibly paralyzed from the neck down


Likely he fell and hit something. Not clear why she fled the scene, it would have been better had she stayed if claiming she came to the boys defense.

Yes, he's covered much the same way that a class A primary reservist is covered, "while employed in sanctioned events."

Is this man entitled to VAC benefits for his injuries?

As a CIC Officer on official business I would assume yes, but this could turn out to be a very public test of the system. Once out of rehah, he might have to step down as CIC, at which point VAC takes over....

There’s a go fund me page.

 

[Kilted]

What level of Karen do you need to be to do this?

 

[childs56]

The bad side of this is if the CIC Officer followed the aggressors into a restaurant then he may be in the wrong for doing that.

We will have to see how this all plays out. Let's hope Mr Kunkel has a full recovery.
Such a terrible situation for the Cadets and Officer involved.

 

[OldSolduer]

What level of Karen do you need to be to do this?

Well I’d be censured if I mentioned that word used to describe very unpleasant people

 

[Colin Parkinson]

His daughter speaks out, it's clearly tough on her to think her dad might not be able to walk again.

This infuriates me. People sometimes need a good hard beating for shit like this.

“… speaking with people before this all happened … this isn’t new…”

We have to get a grip on our rapidly deteriorating criminal justice system and corresponding deviant behaviour.

Well, considering that the cadets get left at this places without adult supervision, sometimes by themselves, with maybe a parent volunteer or a CIC driving the circuit to check on them one at a time, I'm sure that a lot of things have happened.

I was a cadet supervising cadets doing the same thing way back in the 1900s. The worst we had to deal with was the local school bullies coming buy to make dumb comments.

This sort of anti-social behaviour wasn't common or accepted even 20 years ago. 20 Years ago, the woman would have joined the CIC officer in stopping the attackers... 20+ years of mainstream anti-establishment bullshit has brought us to this point.

Is this Canada worth ruining your quality of life for? It's a question everyone needs to have an answer for, particularly if you wear the uniform.

20 years ago we didnt have incentivized trolling through social media. Kids see this, and want to recreate it.

There’s a letter from Captain Kunkel that explains what his state is, and what happened during the attack.

Screen shots are from X…

If this series of events is the full story, I hope that the useless POS that attacked him gets hammered by the courts.

If he explained the situation, was in uniform, and attempting to recover his keys at the time she attacked, there is zero justification for her attack.
