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.
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.
It would be hard to where this shirt. Living here my entire life and having a good memory the negatives outway the positives. As a kid this was a great place to be a kid. Today, this city being driven by people with personal adjendas having control it is hard to get excited.I have said for years that this city has never reached its potential. Oh, so true.
What's with all the negative comments????Guelph is not perfect.....nowhere is.....similar problems everywhere. Noone is forced to stay here.It's totally optional to buy a shirt. Cute idea. Made me smile. Best of luck with the shirts.....hope it helps some downtown businesses.....far better than just complaining.
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.
Thank you Adam A. Donaldson , well said.Having received over one million dollars in pay & bnnifets from our City of Guelph,for not working for over 10 years without working 1 hour.Along with not being trained on all new procedures.ENOUGH is ENOUGH.Doug, (Angry Guelph tax pater)
I only expect situations like this to get worse as the new “Conservation” districts come into effect. Ford was always banging on about the “war on the car” and so now by way of retribution has declared war on nature.
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
What a travesty, the GRCA are lost......using public money to aquire this and then having it taken and parcelled out by the GRCA and sold.....? Shameful. Doesn't the "C" stand for conservation?
The city should buy the eight hectare parcel and use the west side of it, adjacent to Pioneer Rd, it as a temporary managed site for camping for the unhoused. I note that there is already an established three season trailer park further up Pioneer Rd.
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.
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.
