incredibly unnecessary. He wouldn’t do that to anyone “scary”. Just the vulnerable. Fire him out of a canon.

Been funny if he attacked someone that could actually fight back...

Been funny if he attacked someone that could actually fight back...

Apparently he's also filling two other municipal jobs at the same time, so even if he's fired as chief, he'll still have two more paychecks.

Who would then be charged with assault police which is a felony in PA.

Could see that...but, outside looking in based on what I'd seen, he might have a hard time explaining to a jury why he had to put a minor in a choke hold at a reasonably peaceful protest...and if he'd grabbed that person and they'd fought back, especially if no audible warning of who they were, again, might have a hard time convincing a jury they weren't defending themselves if they turned the tables. Incidentally, I generally give cops the benefit of the doubt for most things...though have treated people in custody that likely got much more than they actually deserved based on the stories of the patient, the cops and witnesses...plus certain injury patterns are pretty self-explanatory.

He appears to be I plain clothes with no duty gear. Did he identify himself as a PO?

Legal authority is highly overrated. Let's just search whatever mail we want - Nunavut RCMP.

"It’s illegal for Canadian police to search mail in transit, but it had been commonplace in the territory, according to Nunavut RCMP Chief Supt. Kent Pike."

Mail is an anonymous way to move contraband. When a suspect parcel is delivered, the receiver can simply say "I never ordered that" or "no idea who the sender is or what's inside". In some cases, controlled deliveries were done to ensure the right evidence was gathered at the right time from the right person and it was admissible in court. But that's a lot more work than running the dog through the mail room.

There are rules not only for domestic mail, as outlined in the article, but also international mail. With international mail, it's governed by the Customs Act. Even so, when I worked at the international mail centre, we couldn't just search anything we wanted to. We needed indicators of smuggling, some of which were intelligence based and other times experience based. The other issue we faced was sheer volume. Too many packages and too few BSOs.

Seattle police officer fired after complicated Ponzi scheme, bankruptcy plot


A Seattle police officer was fired after an investigation found he violated department policies related to honesty, professionalism, and adherence to the law stemming from his conduct during personal bankruptcy proceedings and a failed real estate venture, according to a newly released disciplinary summary.

The termination followed an investigation by the Seattle Office of Police Accountability into allegations that the officer and his wife defrauded investors connected to a home renovation project before he joined the force and later made false statements in bankruptcy filings.

OPA Director Bonnie Glenn sustained three allegations against the officer, concluding he violated department standards requiring employees to obey the law, act professionally, and provide truthful and complete information. The discipline imposed was termination, according to the agency’s closed case summary issued Sept. 18, 2025.

Kind of funny really. You can tell by their response they see stuff like following the law as beneath them. The chief is like yeah whateves.

One of those things that’s happened up north for a long time- a lot of the villages are dry and demand it be enforced, including searching incoming stuff with search warrants notwithstanding that it’s mail in post. Not saying it’s right, just that I guess in a bunch of places it’s been an accepted and even expected practice given the horrific problems they have with substance abuse.

It does highlight a problem: even with a court issued search warrant some mail is immune from police search while it’s in transit. In this day and age there are obvious problems there. There are limited postal inspectors, which is further compounded when stuff is going on in rural or remote areas.

A legislative fix to this is needed and has been proposed but is hung up because Bill C-2 was overly broad. A judge or justice should have the power to grant a search warrant that allows the searching of mail with the same legal threshold we’d use to search a home or a computer.
