How is this speculation on my part?<br /><br />In my experience, the overwhelming majority of people who have trouble with the police and attention from them, have good reason to be in trouble.<br /><br />Besides, the abuse of power by police at the fan belt college street party this spring seemed obvious as they sat back and watched the subdivision burn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852364.post-55172495323620476442012-05-26T18:50:39.385-04:002012-05-26T18:50:39.385-04:00I'm not taking sides, I noting that two people...I'm not taking sides, I noting that two people and a voice recording purport that Brazinet was fired after police interference. Speculation on your part is no reason to disbelieve what two people heard and recorded. I no more think Mr. Brazinet is pure of intent any more than I believe that of the police. What I care about is abuse of police power.

The police did not interfere. The person quoted that saying that they did was not the one who let Monsieur Bazinet go. So we have a shitty employee (speculation on my part) who got canned. When he confronted waylon smithers about the decision, smithers gave a sensational explanation that the "man" was pushing for this. This story of spineless persons interacting with morons who are shitty employees (more speculation on my part) then gets written up in some neighbourhood news and makes your blog.<br /><br />You then take the side of Bazinet that the police did do something untoward, by the police service's own admission, even when the guy who fired Bazinet said the police never were involved. <br /><br />So what the fuck man?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852364.post-62983245513742311212012-05-26T16:58:31.158-04:002012-05-26T16:58:31.158-04:00Let's reset this to the actual point of the ar...Let's reset this to the actual point of the article, and of my, evidently pointless, commentary.<br /><br />Const. Dennis Rivest, a London Police Service spokesman, said he could not specifically comment on Bazinet’s complaint, but added if a member of the service has done something inappropriate, that act needs to be investigated.<br /> <br />He also said it is not common practice for London police to approach the employer of someone they have interacted with.<br /> <br />“It’s not the police’s position to go tell someone else that we dealt with you.”<br /> <br />"Sgt. Brent Anderson, who is in charge of the police headquarters reception unit, is often one of the first officers to receive a complaint against police.<br /> <br />He said if a member did try to influence an employer to fire an employee, such an act would be a breach of confidentiality, adding police have “strict rules and guidelines about what can be released.”<br /><br />Are we clear on the fact the the London Police, as a rule, do not interfere in your present or potential employment? Do you, anonymous commenter, see that you are in opposition to the London Police when you say people "are being targetted when they seek to work in settings that are a potential "problem"?" You are supporting an activity the Police force specifically prohibits.<br /><br />You said "Some loser cries and pees his pants that the police have taken an interest in where he works and you see this as a corrupt society issue"<br /><br />I don't see it as such, it is such.

Your London guy who likely is bald with a goatee and wears a muscle shirt and unlaced high cuts showed up for the misguided Occupy movement and then assumes that explains his harassment and not his steroid fuelled problems with the police.<br /><br />You are missing a major point here. Some loser cries and pees his pants that the police have taken an interest in where he works and you see this as a corrupt society issue. <br /><br />WHat I think happened is this. Police keep track of people who have a history of problems with the law. Many of those people liked the idea of the Occupy movement which gave them some anti-establishment kicks for a few days. The interest the police took in them after that "event" was not something new.<br /><br />That's kind of low laughing at the Mac-Paps don't you think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852364.post-19799450511381648332012-05-25T17:33:03.617-04:002012-05-25T17:33:03.617-04:00So we've gone to the "spirit of drunken d...So we've gone to the "spirit of drunken debate"?

The Occupy movement may have been just one more thing on a list of many.<br /><br />Let me ask you this, if the Police in London are so concerned about the Occupy participants then where is the evidence that they are harassing all of the participants? Or, is it coincidence that people with anger issues and previous contacts with london's finest are being targetted when they seek to work in settings that are a potential "problem"?<br /><br />If you want a real story about government harassment of good people then stop listening to the whines of guys like this and read about how Canada treated the returning soldiers of the Mackenzie Papineau Batallion:<br /><br />http://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorialopinion/article/1183225--it-s-time-canadian-heroes-of-the-spanish-civil-war-were-recognized<br /><br />Hell, if you really want to get on this hobby horse then lets talk about people like Pete Seeger who really took crap for his political beliefs and not because he beats up undergrads waiting in lines for pubs in shitty malls!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852364.post-73091100637693751422012-05-25T16:01:41.703-04:002012-05-25T16:01:41.703-04:00"The "news" story does not explain ..."The "news" story does not explain why this person is known to police or whehter there are legitimate reasonas that they would not want said person hired into a position that requires good judgement about the use of physical force."<br /><br />The story does explain how he is "known" to the police. That's sort of the point of the entire story--that the police are punishing an Occupy London "member". That their alleged interference is keeping him from being employed when there is no legal restriction keeping him from doing this work that he is, in fact, licensed to do.<br /><br />In the spirit of debate, why not take another swing, as it seems your argument has a couple of holes in it.Alexis Shabadoo Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649927883619602328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852364.post-72478568434773039242012-05-25T15:39:48.748-04:002012-05-25T15:39:48.748-04:00Okay, in the spirit of debate I am going to suppor...Okay, in the spirit of debate I am going to support the london police for what they purported not to have done in this case. Recall that I came of age in London when these beverage industry security guards were called bouncers. In London back in the day, there were some establishments with "security personnel" with "issues" who rather than express themselves verbally (e.g. use their words), they would knock the teeth out of some drunk undergrad leading to the police being called out to clean up a situation that could have been solved by the security guard saying "Hey drunk kid... stop doing that").<br /><br />So now we have a story where some guy "known to police" is not someone that the police want to see hired to do security at a bar. The "news" story does not explain why this person is known to police or whehter there are legitimate reasonas that they would not want said person hired into a position that requires good judgement about the use of physical force.<br /><br />Consider this, the police would also discourage daycares and such establishments from hiring persons known to them for things like, er well, molesting kids. So I thought the world worked like this. If you get a record doing something violent or offensive its a good idea not to hire you to do a job where you have the opportunity to reoffend.<br /><br />So you can't be hired to do "security", go assemble nutritious sandwiches at Subway! London is the "City of Opportunity" so if one job is not for you, try another!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
