Not in the least bit funny. People were killed.
Last winter, a Toronto police officer stood in front of a snow-plow being driven by a mad man . The officer was run over and killed.
A needless senseless death.
The officer received a hero's funeral.
The mad driver was tried for murder. The jury concluded he was not in his right mind and therefore not responsible for the death.
The Police Chief quickly stated he accepted the decision.
The President of the Police Association did not. In his view, a man who not in his right mind
Should have been found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment.
There was no talk of adequacy of police training.
A couple of weeks ago, an eighteen year old terrorized fellow passengers on a TTC bus. He ordered them to get off the bus. His behaviour was sufficiently bizarre ,they did what he said after.
No-one was hurt.
Twenty police officers attended the scene. The youth was shot nine times by the same officer. Police weapons shoot one bullet at a time.
A second officer boarded the bus and shot a taser into the lifeless body at his feet.
The President of the Police Association cautioned the public not to "rush to judgement" We should
" wait for all the facts to be known".
Subsequently, the Chief announced the appointment of a retiring Judge to study "use of force" by th department.
Then a Provincial Cabinet Minister announced that all police offices can be armed with taser guns. If Police Service Boards authorize the measure was added.
The retiring judge appointed by the Police Chief promptly withdrew from his commitment to study use of force by Toronto Police.
A second judge has been appointed by the Chief.
It seems Toronto Police Service Board has nothing at all to say about anything . They have not been heard from.
The Retired Police Association has announced a parade to remember fallen officers.
Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has volunteered the information he has smoked pot. He inhaled it. He does not apologise for it. But he never took to it
The Honorable Kathleen Wynn joined the public confession but she too said she didn't like it much.
Pappa Bear Stephen Harper said when asked "Do I look like I smoked pot?" And everyone chuckled at the though
No-one talked about who would pay the Anonymous has left a new comment on your postpieces of the puzzle always came together":
I think I can help with this one. The Swiss will no longer accept bank accounts for individual Americans. It is required to show your passport - if that document is American, the response will be negative. The rule has been circumvented by companies registered elsewhere although their shareholders might be American.
That was a big problem for Romney in the election. There were trusts & companies which he would not discuss.
