I know that sounds twisted but it makes sense if you understand that they are in denial. The denial stems from propaganda that somehow a cop is 'Toronto's finest' --its a marketing manipulation on your mind. Toronto's finest? That would be the priest and parishioners I know who feed the poor from the church kitchen and don't make a dime off of it. Or the young woman I know who visits widows in their grief and brings food to elderly shut ins. Or the teacher I know who volunteers to teach kids (for free) AFTER class because they need extra help with the class they are struggling over. Or the thousands of volunteers in hospitals who help in all kinds of ways. <br /><br />THOSE are Toronto's finest.<br /><br />Police are a business and they get PAID. now there is nothing wrong with that IF they actually do the job and IF they drop the pretense that somehow they are the 'finest' and are doing it out of the nobility of their hearts.<br />Puleeease.<br /><br />As for "risking their lives"--I think people who say this against those who are scrutinizing police corruption are people who think a cops life is filled with Hollywood high speed chases and shootouts. Nonsense. Most of their days are filled with pushing around people who have no criminal record and giving as many tickets as they can to meet their quota. I personally know 4 cops and they ALL tell me most of their days are filled with petty investigations and they get paid for it. OF COURSE there is more dangerous stuff they do (lots of domestic disputes and those are dangerous) HOWEVER they SIGNED On for those jobs did they not?? SO stop complaining how dangerous it is. If you don't like it get another job. Try working in a office job where you have no benefits and no union like I do. Then you'll understand 'scary'. For those of you who think I'm kidding --you understand nothing. Quiet desperation of people eking out a living by the skin of their teeth is the real scary reality in Toronto. NOT some fat ass cop who gets full union benefits and spends most of his time without having to break a sweat PUNCTURED every now and then by a dangerous situation WHICH THEY AGREED TO.<br /><br />They LEST cops could do is NOT be corrupt. Corrupt cops are worse than ANY criminals because a criminal is just that -- a thug. But a criminal doesn't promise to be something else. A cop does. A cop is suppose to serve and protect you.<br /><br />Alas most of them serve their CAREERS and protect their own.<br /><br />THAT is the reality of Toronto cops. <br /><br />Yes I agree with the blogger there are some good ones (I hope) out there but Im not talking about them. And I don't buy this "oh there are always a few bad apples don't judge them all by those few" Why the hell not?<br /><br />I know a lawyer who runs a law firm downtown and has 10 lawyers working under him. If ONE of them does something to embarrass the partnership THEY FIRE HIS ASS not give excuses! Only in the Police force do they give excuses and put him on suspension (paid vacation is what its called by the cops with a smirk).<br /><br /><br />Jack from Scarborough<br />love your post keep up the great work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812689964160142293.post-38310675875586710482011-06-17T22:58:20.040-04:002011-06-17T22:58:20.040-04:00keep up the good work the police get enougth free ...keep up the good work the police get enougth free rides.they must be held accountable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812689964160142293.post-26067218096925954292011-01-20T12:55:15.309-05:002011-01-20T12:55:15.309-05:00The Toronto Police are very corrupt but I find mos...The Toronto Police are very corrupt but I find most of my fellow citizens want to keep their heads in the ground to avoid seeing it. There is an article in the sun now about the slain officer and if you read the comment section the police are portrayed as more important than the people who pay them, their fellow citizens. <br />I have an ex friend who is a cop who said "basically alot of the guys became cops so we could have good steady pay, not becaue we want or give a care about civilians"<br />Its an outrageous statement I know but he went on to apply and become a cop. I stopped being his friend when he asked me to store some "cash" for him in my closet. He has no record of disciplinary actions against him and told me he enjoys "intimidating people".<br /><br />For every good cop there is a cop like this one. If you dont understand or believe it then you truly are living in a fantasy world.<br /><br />Jack<br />downtown TOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812689964160142293.post-80630931873326744052010-02-09T17:24:27.113-05:002010-02-09T17:24:27.113-05:00Hey Anonymous,
Thanks for your comment!
You kno...Hey Anonymous, <br /><br />Thanks for your comment!<br /><br />You know, it's not until you actually start looking for it, that you realize how often we see Corruption in our Police Force and in our Government.<br /><br />People are so quick to dismiss it and cover it up, that it does just pass the 'radar' of the public, as you so eloquently put it.<br /><br />For me it started off as something I wanted to inform people about, but eventually I realized that I was posting about it almost daily, each day with it's own separate example... Believe me, that was almost depressing at one point (I think I wrote an entry about it)..<br /><br />Anyway, I'm so happy that others are seeing it as well! Thanks for that!<br /><br />Believe me, when you talk to people about it, and they give you that attitude that you're just anti-police, feel free to send them here for a lesson!<br /><br />Thanks again.<br /><br />--jackandcokewithalimejackandcokewithalimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459660574250332680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812689964160142293.post-2392504496253013632010-02-09T16:53:26.781-05:002010-02-09T16:53:26.781-05:00You hear about the corruption within the police fo...You hear about the corruption within the police force as a side line in the news every now and then, but I guess it just passed my radar, no big deal. <br /><br />You are absolutely right, this IS a big deal!!! how is it that we, the public, is letting this slide by???? <br /><br />Brings you to realise just how far the propaganda and corruption goes - media, politicians, law enforcement..... hold on, why exactly am I surprised again?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812689964160142293.post-30865163276086009192010-01-21T10:48:24.566-05:002010-01-21T10:48:24.566-05:00Anonymous,

You are my first official commenter, and I appreciate you taking the time to do so.<br /><br />I was hoping that my posts in the Sun would get noticed and get people to visit. You just showed me that it works!<br /><br />Thanks again for your readership!<br /><br /><br />--jackandcokewithalimejackandcokewithalimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459660574250332680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812689964160142293.post-61021754355639219142010-01-21T08:22:24.718-05:002010-01-21T08:22:24.718-05:00Stumbled in here after spotting your comments and ...Stumbled in here after spotting your comments and link at the Sun. Good article.<br /><br />If the politicians and servants of the people would simply live up to the oath they take it would be a much nicer world in which to live.<br /><br />We are led to believe we are all equal under law and in the eyes of which ever supreme being you care to optionally select. And yet, every single day our rights and freedoms are being shoved under the rug and to protest it is to "have something to hide".<br /><br />The propaganda machine is very cunning. <br /><br />Personally, I think it should be mandatory that everyone who reaches the age of consent has to smoke at least one harmless fattie in a group setting. If they choose to be stupid after that, then there are obviously other problems.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
