jennie Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) Skyrocketing complaints against RCMP stem from better knowledge, says spokesman TheSpec.com - National - Skyrocketing complaints against RCMP stem from better knowledge, says spokesman Bob Weber, THE CANADIAN PRESS As the RCMP faces questions on everything from its use of Tasers to its investigation of terrorism, complaints about the force are growing in the North as well. New figures from the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP show complaints in Nunavut have increased tenfold over the last four years and so far this year have already reached three times the nine-year average. "Is it a question of more awareness of the process? I don't know," said Sgt. Mike Toohey in Iqaluit. "Is it a question of higher expectation of the police? Is it because it's topical in the media? I don't know." There's no doubt the number of complaints is growing. In 1999, the year Nunavut was created, there was only one complaint. Although that number fluctuated as high as six in subsequent years, there were still only two complaints registered in 2004. But that number grew to nine in 2005, 17 in 2006 and 23 in 2007. ... http://www.thespec.com/article/284781 Edited November 22, 2007 by jennie Quote If you are claiming a religious exemption from the hate law, please say so up front.

White Doors Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 Why do you hate the police Jenny? Quote Those Dern Rednecks done outfoxed the left wing again.~blueblood~
mikedavid00 Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 Why do you hate the police Jenny? Because she's probably a 'misfit' in society. Of course, her voice is louder than mine as far as the CBC is concerned. Quote ---- Charles Anthony banned me for 30 days on April 28 for 'obnoxious libel' when I suggested Jack Layton took part in illegal activities in a message parlor. Claiming a politician took part in illegal activity is not rightful cause for banning and is what is discussed here almost daily in one capacity or another. This was really a brownshirt style censorship from a moderator on mapleleafweb http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1oGB-BKdZg---

She doesn't tase me at all. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
trex Posted November 26, 2007 Report Posted November 26, 2007 She doesn't tase me at all. Why was she banned... and why do you keep resurrecting her when she apparently can't reply. Quote
DrGreenthumb Posted November 26, 2007 Report Posted November 26, 2007 Why was she banned... and why do you keep resurrecting her when she apparently can't reply. That's because cons can only win a debate when they are the only ones in it. Quote
M.Dancer Posted November 26, 2007 Report Posted November 26, 2007 Why was she banned... and why do you keep resurrecting her when she apparently can't reply. She couldn't reply when she was here to begin with....which is why she is banned I suspect. Kind of hard having a debate with someone who calls you a racist if you disagree with her slogannering... Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us

At least I have seen that she has won one issue, "speech" is not absolutely "free" even in a virtual community. Quote
jbg Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 She was banned? At least I have seen that she has won one issue, "speech" is not absolutely "free" even in a virtual community. Even in the US regulation as to the "time, place and manner" of speech is acceptable. Conducting a demonstration on the Major Deegan Expressway (roughly, the equivalent of the 401) would not be acceptable, for example.
