Maybe YOU distrust the police but I certainly don't.......so please, speak for YOURself, not everyone......The police have worked long and hard to earn our distrust. So now that it has been accomplished why cry innocent?

Imagine if that was really true, that means we'd need six men in every police cruiser in the event they'd have to hold down one individual resisting arrest, lol, don't think so, and we all know it's a frequent occurence for police to arrest someone who is unwilling to be arrested. That is way over the top.Yes, it does take 6 men to hold down and handcuff a man who is resisting arrest and trying not to be handcuffed -
There seem to be a lot of naive people on this board.
oh, so you subscribe to the "one bad apple spoils the whole basket"???Have you forgotten
Guy Paul Morand
David Milgard
Donald Marshal
Susan Nellis
Steven Truscott
and the rest of the list
Just saw the tv show on Milgard -- police intimated witnesses to convict that is sure trustworthy
and you contine to fawn over them
and you continue to state that none of them can be trustworthy. Any extreme is just as bad as the other. So, whatever negative you say about my support of the police you are actually saying the same about yourself........and you contine to fawn over them
Ok Rambo, you're right. But as some other poster noted, who said this kind of situation is supposed to be a fair fight? Also, to be frank, is it really our place as civilians to tell police officers to incur any more risk than they already do? I'm a liberal, but not a bleeding heart liberal . . . sometimes order needs to be imposed, for the sake of the majority. The officers subdued the dude and eliminated the threat to themselves, and I'm OK with that, because ultimately I can cruise around most places in Canada knowing police are trying to keep me safe. Is it really unreasonable that police maximize their safety when possible?It does not take 5-6 well trained, well equipped Police or Correction officers to subdue someone. . . . . This person, male student, could have been put down to the ground by one well trained person . . . I was a professional corrections officer for 20 years . . . I'm not saying that the officer may not get hurt, but that is inherit with the job.
HOF is living in some MMA fantasy.Imagine if that was really true, that means we'd need six men in every police cruiser in the event they'd have to hold down one individual resisting arrest, lol, don't think so, and we all know it's a frequent occurence for police to arrest someone who is unwilling to be arrested. That is way over the top.
Read HOF's post above, he knows what he's talking about.
I don't think naive is the right word, perhaps uniformed or even ignorant are better words.
I was thinking something similar: I wonder if all these cop haters rejoice and hold a party whenever a cop gets killed in the line of duty?........Next time a cop gets injured or killed attempting to subdue some lunatic, I hope you're as vocal in your support of cops as you are in crying over how many cops it takes to subdue a delusional college student.
I'd say that is more a matter of luck than anything.The fact that the student suffered no serious injuries and none of the cops did either is a testament to the effectiveness in the way they subdued the student.
You idiot they have proven as group to be willing to lie at any and all times and now butt kissers like you trot out the one bad apple lineoh, so you subscribe to the "one bad apple spoils the whole basket"???
So you stated, 5 instances, how about this?
Between 1999 and 2003 there were 407,716 Sentenced cases and outcomes in adult criminal court. So, that is what? About 0.00000122%....
OH kay, so all cops are bad, and none should be trusted. DOH you're such a homer.
Btw, those stats don't include automobile charges, youth, young offender, those arrested but released, etc etc etc.....
Dumbass
and you continue to state that none of them can be trustworthy. Any extreme is just as bad as the other. So, whatever negative you say about my support of the police you are actually saying the same about yourself.....
oh, so, well, people in general lie to cover their asses. So I guess by your logic EVERYONE can't be trusted.....Nice to live in your world.....NOT.You idiot they have proven as group to be willing to lie at any and all times and now butt kissers like you trot out the one bad apple line
Not one of the bad apples involved in any of the cases was investigated and charged -- that proves that there are many acomplices.
oh, so, well, people in general lie to cover their asses. So I guess by your logic EVERYONE can't be trusted.....Nice to live in your world.....NOT.
Ok, so, let's up the percentage: say there's 500 cases, that's what, 0.000122%? How about 5000? 0.00122%....how about 50,000? That would be 0.0122%...you haven't even made it to 1% yet......Yeah, all cops can't be trusted, but neither can: politicians, doctors, lawyers, CEOs, bank managers, bartenders, women, men, kids, teenagers, plumbers, contractors, carpenters, escorts, madames, strippers, waitresses, sheiks, muslims, priests, jews, etc etc etc.....
No shit.....who would want to be a cop when people like goof, I mean guelph think that they are all corrupt and crooked? Doesn't matter if you are hard working, have integrity, save burning babies, rescue 20 cats from trees, if you wear a badge and uniform? You're automatically bad.....LMFAO.
So, to one of the members, I'm Rambo and to another I'm living in an MMA fantasy.
No, I was a professional correctional officer trained in CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM and hand to hand combat.
It doesn't take that many to subdue one person that is how permanent injuries, accidental deaths, then inquests happen. I can't believe that there are that many naive people reading these boards. In fact, you seemed to miss that fact that I said policing is a very admirable profession. However, the young recruits are not listening to the experienced officers, and do also take a look around at your areas recruits. Could they handle themselves? Policing has changed yet again in Ontario, and It's my understanding that many forces including the RCMP are having difficulty getting recruits.
With idots like you kissing butt and accepting the whitewash stories the problems will never be addressedNo shit.....who would want to be a cop when people like goof, I mean guelph think that they are all corrupt and crooked?

Thankfully there are people like me (and others) who realize that it is a tough job and no matter what you do, you're going to be pissed upon by someone.
time to fit right in with the other agenda zealots..................With idots like you kissing butt and accepting the whitewash stories the problems will never be addressed
good offices
Fair point. However, I believe that a few strikes to the head and body is well within the proper punishment during fierce resistance of arrest.fyi, I spoke to a couple of my cop friends and they say it was a little over the top with the physical hits considering the number of cops involved, sometimes the emotion gets in the way in the heat of battle. That's all I'm saying, the punishment doesn't fit the crime so to speak.
Maybe you're right. I'm not an expert. Can you describe what highly skilled trained professionals would look like when dealing with the same guy resisting arrest when they have him on the ground? Same thing without the hitting? Asking "pretty please" rather than "stop resisting"?I'd say that is more a matter of luck than anything.
They did not look like highly skilled trained professionals to me.
Tell us how things would have unfolded in your textbook Crisis Response Team scenario?No, I was a professional correctional officer trained in CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM and hand to hand combat.
