Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

[Booter]

Oh, she’s gonna have a really bad time at a conduct hearing for sure.

With that said, if a civilian NDed their firearm into a neighbour’s house there would almost certainly be a criminal charge. I struggle to understand why any fellow police officer who NDs into a neighbour’s house while cleaning their firearm oughtn’t be charged. If the officer wants to argue ineptitude and poor remedial training, fine, that can be explored at trial.

That’s why there is an unknown to me- this would have been reviewed for criminal and we don’t know why it didn’t do anything. It’s incredibly weird.

I was in he SME for a similar file we took all the way to court in Sask a decade ago. There was no barrier to it being treated severely.

Our media response on that news story is baffling and makes it all look even worse.

Speaking of Saskatchewan... this study was conducted there it seems:

“Suck It Up, Buttercup”: Understanding and Overcoming Gender Disparities in Policing​

Abstract​

Women police officers report elevated symptoms of mental disorders when compared to men police officers. Researchers have indicated that the occupational experience of policing differs greatly among men and women. Indeed, police culture is characterized by hegemonic masculinity, which appears to negatively impact both men and women. The current study examined the contrast between the experiences of men and women police officers. Police officers (n = 17; 9 women) in Saskatchewan participated in semi-structured interviews. Thematic network analysis identified themes related to the experience of policing for both men and women police officers. There were six organizing themes identified in relation to the global theme of Gendered Experiences: (1) Discrimination; (2) Sexual Harassment; (3) Motherhood and Parental Leave; (4) Identity; (5) Stereotypically Feminine Attributes; and (6) Hegemonic Masculinity. Pervasive gender norms appear detrimental for both men and women police officers, as well as the communities they serve. The current results, coupled with the emerging disposition for progress expressed by police services, offer opportunities to develop tailored and focused interventions and policies to support police officers.
