OPINION: McArthur's appeal ignores the community he wants to serve
47I 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.

46Agree this guy needs to find a new job nobody wants him - he is unfit for service

46What 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.

37He 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.

15It 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.

20What'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.

25What 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

24Is 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.

21We 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.

19He 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.

9The I ♡ Guelph campaign is just sad. No, blind positivity isn't better than complaining. I've grew up through and into hearing it was lame, worthwhile downtowns don't need a sign in the air every 5 meters telling you that it is good.The entire concept of the design is to ingrain the thought, it doesn't come from celebration. They realized how little pride they've managed for themselves. Do you see the price and quality of the shirt in the picture? You're just going to eat that up and imagine it's standing for real pride towards something?

16How 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.
