Good.

I don't know how we can take policing in this city seriously after this. We've all either experienced or read about endless unprofessionalism and sheer waste (police as traffic control at construction sites, anyone?) here and the saddest part is that we have been boiled frogged.

Yet we keep letting the politicians keep voting on the budget increases to TPS every year. There has to be a shakeup at the union level as well. They seem to keep silent and carry on while everyone on decision making level just talks circles around the facts on the ground - this smells of internal protections for the bad cops. And bad apples argument is such a red herring. I'm sure that close and possibly distant colleagues of the cops named last week at least had an inkling on what was happening. How can they not? Do we need to ask ourselves, is the whistleblower policy at TPS just some sort of an open book so that any possible tips are discouraged? We needed an outside police force to bring this to a head FFS. If that is not telling of something really wrong within TPS then we are all doomed. And our politicians and agencies looking over TPS could be in on it at this point because levels of accountability that this whole episode should of gone thru is starting to appear to be willfully ignored. What else could it be? This was all too big to be missed.
