High Ranking Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

Show me where they get lighter sentences in court being as they are “common place”. I’ll show you people sexually assaulting children and getting probation. So let’s do it. Show me where police officers are getting “lighter sentences”

we ll start there.

Police aren’t generally arrested at the time because there aren’t grounds to arrest them as we know them, they have no criminal history, and if we stop them from driving or take their gun out of their locker they are no longer able to continue the offence. Which is the standard for whether an everyday person is arrested as well.

I have arrested cops. Including those in uniform. You’re just unhappy we don’t parade them in uniform in front of a camera and embarrass them. You don’t want equal treatment you want them treated worse. It would be a more honest conversation if you could just admit that.

The court systems first time sentences for everyone are light. If you’re shocked at their criminal conviction sentences: it is shock with the systems usual punishments. You are just seeing a normal sentence in Canada first hand- little to nothing to do with being a police officer.

The most common assault outcome in Canada is a fine or a conditional sentence. Impaireds- diving prohibs and fines. Same for everyone. Threatening people is a peace bond and a conditional sentence. Like it’s literally the same for everyone. Domestics that are simple assault 266- usually deferred for spousal counselling and programming with a conditional sentence,

These are what every Canadian can expect from their first criminal charges. While there are cops charged multiple times, and charged with more serious offences, anything higher than these on their firsts would be worse than anyone else. If you want to make that argument it can be made- but your “special treatment” argument is make believe.

I'm sure IA folks are recruited internally.

Yeah. I'm just passionate about this stuff.

If the incident is reported, most likely.

What would happen if a CBSA agent got mad at a coworker and pointed a loaded weapon at them?

I have seen - first hand - the exact opposite in my line of work. Professional courtesy only gets you so far.

The case of a off-duty RCMP officer hitting a 14 year old and being told by the first cop on the scene to go home and wait before the scene was properly investigated comes to mind.

The public assumes that LEOs are experts in firearms handling. As a firearms instructor I can tell you this is not the case. Better than average, yes, but by no means "experts".

I agree about LEOs not being experts with firearms, both in the handling sense or laws surrounding them. Pointing a loaded firearm at someone because you're mad is a completely different issue though.
