    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Forces wait until after a finding of guilt in court in order to avoid having PSA charges and dismissals summarily overturned by courts, in civil actions. That higher standard required by courts pretty much makes them proof against being overturned which has, in fact, happened.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    I don't know that would be possible as that money could have long since been spent on general life, or diverted somehow. You could punitively make the former officer bankrupt, but that really doesn't do anything. What could be done is the former officer's pension could be forfeit, due to...

    IF the PTSD was "undiagnosed", then higher-ups wouldn't have been on notice. My objection is to the, "If he were to remain an officer the damage to reputation..." comment. He's been an officer for 10 years after this incident. That doesn't already bring the service into disrtepute?

    Likely no logic involved. Probably carrying a heavy load and didn't notice the slow-down in time to reduce speed. 60K pounds doesn't decelerate on a dime.

    I don't know about the rest, but really enjoyed "WonderFools."

    It's actually quite good, if you like old movies. I watched it in black and white because watching "Werewolf By Night" the second time, in colour, was just a non starter for me. I liked it a lot first and later times.

    As a Maritimer, who came to Toronto in '72, it always hits home.

    Not the first time that I've heard of a driver doing that. Not even the first time I've heard of it in Ontario.

    That definitely needs to be sent to the transit authority for disciplinary action. Man, did that Facebook thread go racists fast though.

    Dammit. I don't want to live in a meme. A quick check of Facepalm shows that he has a whole two friends (one appears to be his brother) and no posts. popular fella.

    That looks like Steeles Ave, over the 410. The lights of for the northbound and southbound ramps change at roughly the same time and had just gone green. My guess would be that the vehicle that ended up in oncoming traffic didn't slow for the traffic at the light, that had just started moving...

    Yeah, we got stuck with "Heart of Darkness" as well. Still didn't bug me as much as being made to read "Ecotopia" in college, for my SciFi English course. "The Chrysalids" was probably the best read I had in high school. Written by John Wyndham, the same guy who wrote "The Day of the Triffids."...

    For those who don't know, this SCTV sketch was parodying "Going Down the Road."

    I never did see all of "Dead Like Me" during its original run, so I've gone back to it.

    Time for me to dig up the original animated feature, I guess.

    Went back for the single season of the live action "Cowboy Bebop"and lamenting that it didn't get more.
