Dont you mean lots of officers retiring after a distinguished career? Nothing to see here either folks.I see on the news lots of rats jumping a sinking ship now they aren't able to force a lot of there tyranny
Unsurprisingly "several" more Toronto police have been suspended (with pay) for their role in tow truck corruption. The force is unwilling to provide the number of officers involved. They keep asking for people to trust them while continuing to pile bricks higher on the blue wall.

Problem is they are allowed to switch them off. Cameras are automatically activated but can be manually disabled and are routinely disabled as officers don't want anything that can provide reasonable doubt. Courts don't seem to care as there are no laws requiring cameras be switched on, it seems they are for the convenience of police and not the protection of the public.Well, it's time for body cameras for all police officers. Should be fired if they do a call without one. Tired of the wall of silence from these guys every time they shoot or beat someone to death.
Thankfully while he is under suspension...cough, holiday.....he still gets paid. F$^&%ing awesome!Toronto, Canada and Global Breaking News – CP24

Another stand up citizen patrolling our streets.
For full transparency and protection of the public, provincial laws need to mandate body and cruiser cameras should be always on, always streaming and not have a user disable function.
And if they did, that is a very strong argument for why the union should be at the top of the list of cuts. Public servants exist to serve the public not to spend freely and protect every single dirtbag contained within while screwing the public every chance they get.Their union would flip out!
Oh, I like the way you think!And if they did, that is a very strong argument for why the union should be at the top of the list of cuts. Public servants exist to serve the public not to spend freely and protect every single dirtbag contained within while screwing the public every chance they get.
I think PSUs should be made obsolete. De-unionizing would remove a lot of useless costs, improve accountability and possibly correct the sometimes outrageous differential in pay between private and public sector workers doing the same work.And if they did, that is a very strong argument for why the union should be at the top of the list of cuts. Public servants exist to serve the public not to spend freely and protect every single dirtbag contained within while screwing the public every chance they get.
As an initial cut, it would be a good idea to lock public sector median total compensation to 5 to 10% less than private sector median total comp (you get stability from public sector that can never be guaranteed by private sector). If the public sector wants to earn more, they need to work hard to increase private sector comp. Win win.I think PSUs should be made obsolete.

I'm ok with the union in theory. Maybe tie union exec compensation in the public sector unions to the same formula as public sector employees. You fight differently when you aren't making many hundreds of thousands and every person in the union drives up your take home pay. I want good people in and the bad people out asap.Well, from 30 years in the public sector and as a member of a large PSU... I see the union as a necessary evil.
Often it's the union that is the only thing looking out for the publics interest. The province would cut EVERYTHING we take for granted to the bone and then, well... We'd be complaining about that.
It's been my experience that the union(s), however corrupt and slimy they are prevent the gov't from doing a lot of harm.
Keep in mind that those "in charge" within the public sector from say middle management up are for the most part incompetent.
As far as pay/compensation goes in the PS... It's not always cracked up to be. Many jobs, especially those that require a skill (trades) or some specialized education/training pay far more in the private sector.
Not sure how this is relevant. However, I'm in the trades and I can say, without any hesitation, that I work an astounding amount more hours to earn that amount, than any police officer. Not to mention the total years worked.As far as pay/compensation goes in the PS... It's not always cracked up to be.
