Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

[Booter]

I’m absolutely trained to use a shield like that. And it’s much heavier than whats in the video….

 

[daftandbarmy]

Which part? If you mean at the start it looks like he grabbed a cop in a bear hug from the side or rear and was taking the officer to the ground. You do that, guaranteed any other officer within reach is going to protect their colleague, and you’ll have necessary force used against you. If their hands are full of shield, probably that’s what you’re getting for the first few seconds. That’s 100% a stupid games/stupid prizes. Don’t ever try to tackle a cop. Never ends well.

I mean chopping with the edge of the shield.

Doesn't seem to do much as it's a fairly wimpy shield, to be fair, but @Booter confirms it's legit so I'm OK with that.

No one wants to miss a good riot

RCMP have arrested and charged one of their own. Looks like an officer working the border at St Jean in Quebec is accused of facilitating the entry of a family member back in September 2024. I think I read this as he’s been suspended from duty since it happened? That’s quite a bit of time elapsed before charges were approved.

FFS!

As an IBET member he had to have known about the surveillance network on the US side. If he did, he wasn't smart enough to evade it.

Play stupid games....

Sure, but those kinds of behavioural patterns should be identified and weeded out earlier in the career and at lower ranks. Not to say that does happen. Just that it should.

My agency starts weeding out problems at the College. We have an Internal Standards Unit (ISU, of which I am a member) whose focus is looking into alleged recruit transgressions. We investigate everything from inapproriate comments to academic misconduct. Any alleged criminal misconduct is referred to the local police. This results in the dismissal of a small number of candidates each year before they become a 30 year problem for the Professional Standards Unit which deals with serving members. One advantage we have is that our recruits are not employees until they have passed recruit training, so dismissing them is simple.
