Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

[brihard]

This is the same DOJ that sent a tactical team to arrest a guy who threw a sandwich at a cop, then failed to indict him. They don’t care how stupid they look.

Don’t forget that after they failed to indict him by grand jury, they bypassed the grand jury, directly indicted him anyway, and then lost at trial.

They also made a really stupid propaganda video out of the tactical team raid.

They mayo may not appeal his acquittal on charges of assault with a deli weapon.

I fully expect his defence team to use "he has PTSD from being dragged" as an excuse.

But not enough PTSD to be suspended without pay until deemed capable of employment without impairment.

Junior officer charged alongside disgraced Winnipeg constable pleads guilty

Matthew Kadyniuk suspended without pay from force after pleading guilty to breach of trust, theft under $5K

A junior officer arrested alongside a now-disgraced Winnipeg police constable after the pair stole cash and other items they believed to be evidence during a 2024 "integrity test" has pleaded guilty.

Matthew Kadyniuk, 34, admitted to breach of trust and theft under $5,000 in a Winnipeg courtroom Friday morning, days after court heard sentencing arguments for his co-accused, Elston Bostock, who has pleaded guilty to slew of other offences over a period of years.

"How do you plead?" a court clerk asked Kadyniuk as he stood wearing a suit next to his lawyer, Josh Weinstein.

"Guilty," Kadyniuk said quietly.

The integrity test came as part of an extensive internal investigation into Bostock that started in April 2024.

It followed reports from confidential sources that he'd been associating with people outside the force involved in illicit activity and had been giving them police information, an agreed statement of facts Crown attorney Adam Gingera read in court Friday said.

The charge is that when the Israeli team came to Birmingham to play Aston Villa, sited in a heavily Islamic community that has been building for more than 40 years, that the police conspired with the local community leaders to fabricate evidence against the Israeli fans to justify banning them on public safety grounds. The actual concern was that the local Birmingham community was arming themselves and organizing into groups to violently confront the Israelis.

The police were concerned that they wouldn't be able to contain the violence.

Come the day of the match the Aston Villa fans and other locals wandered the streets while the Israeli supporters were herded into a cage for their protection.

The Dutch police, who had also hosted a Maccabi match, contradicted the West Midlands Police assertions of what had happened in Amsterdam.
WMP claimed that the Maccabi fans were violent. The Dutch said that all the violence, including throwing Maccabi supporters into canals, was instigated by local Muslims on the hunt for Jews.

Britain's police state unmasked: Map reveals shocking numbers clapped in handcuffs over 'offensive' social media posts

Britain's police state can today be unmasked as the Daily Mail can reveal which forces have made the most arrests for 'offensive' posts on social media.

Figures obtained by the Daily Mail show that some forces are making arrests for 'offensive' social media posts at 'extremely concerning' rates.

Cumbria Constabulary had the nation's highest arrest rate of 42.5 per 100,000 population (217 arrests) in 2024, 20 times higher than Staffordshire Police's low rate of 2.1 (21 arrests).

Gwent Police came second with a rate of 33.9, a total of 204 arrests.

The crime of sending 'grossly offensive' messages or sharing content of an 'indecent, obscene or menacing character' on electronic communications networks is punishable by up to two years' imprisonment or an unlimited fine.

But thousands of people have been detained and questioned for sending messages that simply cause annoyance, inconvenience or anxiety to others.

The alarming differences in arrest rates have provoked criticism from civil liberties groups, who say that some authorities are over-policing the internet and threatening free speech through 'vague' communications laws.

Maya Thomas, legal and policy officer at Big Brother Watch, a civil liberties group, said the number of arrests is 'extremely concerning' in a liberal democracy like the UK.

Total arrests fell to 9,700 last year from a record high of 13,800 in 2023, but remain higher than pre-pandemic levels.

And yet another notorious example of police overreach was that of 71-year-old retired special constable Julian Foulkes in November 2023.

He was detained at his home by six officers from Kent Police - the same force he gave ten years of his life to - after he questioned a supporter of pro-Palestine demonstrations on X in November 2023.

Mr Foulkes had mocked an account supporting the pro-Palestine protests, saying: 'One step away from storming Heathrow looking for Jewish arrivals'.

Officers searched his home and made comments on his 'very Brexity' book collection, before seizing his devices and detaining him for eight hours.

In 2025, Kent Police admitted the caution was a mistake and deleted it from Mr Foulkes's record, and also awarded him £20,000 in compensation for the ordeal.

Would a press release for a non police officer include the name?

Would a press release for a non police officer include the name?

That varies between police services, unfortunately. There's no consistency.

Otherwise routine impaired driving charges don’t get press releases. You’ve gotta do something pretty special or awful to make the news as a drunk driver.

Not necessarily. The OPP is really big on feeding local (mostly online these days) media including social media. The larger the media market, like around cities, maybe not so much. It is often a cut-and-paste from the report or Crown Brief summary. You can often tell from the phraseology - some media outlets will use it as a source, others will post them verbatim.

That's my former residence area. I didn't know the member but understand he was non-uniformed; street crime, regional support team, or something like that.

One of the local media sources did name the member so any redaction could be with their policy. I don't know where it stands now but it used to be OPP policy to include names on criminal charges but not for provincial offences.

One question I see being raised on social media is whether the police vehicle was administratively impounded. It's an interesting question that I have yet to look into the HTA wording.
