OPINION: McArthur's appeal ignores the community he wants to serve

I think that at this point he's dragging his feet to get his pension . The community won't trust him again. The GPS needs the community to trust them and they will lose a lot of that trust if we look up and see this guy in a uniform.

Agree this guy needs to find a new job nobody wants him - he is unfit for service

What a disgrace...and getting paid handsomely, as well. For this to take so long to resolve is rather disgusting. This man doesn't deserve to wear a uniform.

Nope, he shouldn't work in policing

OPINION: McArthur's appeal ignores the community he wants to serve

He has had his day in court, and then again on appeal. Due process has been served. Why does he get another shot at this? If this “officer”, who disgraced himself and disgraced the police service by causing real harm, is still receiving any compensation, he should be assigned supervised community service until he finally accepts the inevitable. As for a pension? It should not be awarded.

This headline would have been more accurate: “Schreiner calls for moratorium on progress and prosperity”How can you pay for socialism when nobody’s working?

Schreiner calls for moratorium on AI data centres

Well done, Mike. This is what all governments at all levels should be doing and is a direct way that we can hold off on these water, energy, and potentially life draining centres powering the AI that has so much potential to do bad things to our society.

OPINION: McArthur's appeal ignores the community he wants to serve

What rights are Corey MacArthur being asked to relinquish? He abused his power. He unprovokedly assaulted a defenseless minor. He lied about it. He denied doing it. Proof was providing showing that he abused his power. He was told to resign or be fired. Ten years later, this individual is still on public payroll. Again. What rights? Did the abused minor have any rights? This is my response to Dan's comment which appears to have been removed

OPINION: McArthur's appeal ignores the community he wants to serve

Is this the power of a union? Judgement, appeal. Judgement, appeal. Seriously? Something must change. Just the fact that this was caught on camera never mind all the prior charges. You wonder why a lot of people do not trust police officers? This is just mind boggling. If the appeal board upholds the sentence of quit or be fired, will he appeal again? Absolutely disgusting.

OPINION: McArthur's appeal ignores the community he wants to serve

We grant police a higher level of power than the average citizen. As such, they should be held to a much higher standard. The average person would lose their job and be jailed for assaulting a teen handcuffed to a gurney and then lying to medical staff. That would be the average standard, not the higher one to which I am referring. Furthermore, the other officers in that video who stood by and watched him assault the teen did nothing; they allowed a crime to be committed in plain view, one that they could have easily stopped. The only reason why McArthur is being prosecuted is the camera.At this point, even if McArthur loses his job, GPS has lost all credibility for not putting him behind bars, barring him from owning a firearm, and prosecuting the other two officers in the video for failure to act.

Schreiner calls for moratorium on AI data centres

I wish people realize the dangers of AI, those data centers use an incredible amount of water, we are just self-destructing for pennies.. this is madness..

Mike Schreiner is the best. A voice of reason in a world that moves at the speed of greed.

Schreiner calls for moratorium on AI data centres

The calls for controls are not just happening here. In virtually every province there is resistance to data centre because of their consumption of both water and electricity. They also are noisy and depending on the type of cooling system can use massive quantities of water which we, being on ground water, cannot spare. And anyone who thinks the money will be used for social programs is dreaming. The companies that run these centres have one motive, maximum profit.

He was suspended in 2016 so ten years. He was convicted of an assault he committed while policing in 2008 too. I guess he had pre traumatic stress disorder.

You know those places need a lot of water for their cooling systems, right? Who needs water when you have AI.

OPINION: McArthur's appeal ignores the community he wants to serve

How many other police officers have pulled the same games on the public and gotten away with. This guy is so angry he got caught he can't let go. He is embarrassed. It's about time one is made an example of. I feel for this person who got hurt. I have heard many stories about cops punching young ppl in the head downtown, getting away with it. 0 respect Jumping on disabled people and women. I'm not talking about people on drugs. A few years a cop attacked a disabled man because a city hall employee saw him looking at his phone. They stated he was taking photos when he wasn't. The charges were dropped and the city sued. His reputation ruined. The same cop did it to me because my neighbor was friends with the cops at the manor and he felt that he owned 5 feet to the right of my driveway and would not let me put out my garbage. So as I was having a fence in stalled and was having locates done the legally blind lady reported I marked up the grass. He came and attacked me for mischief.
