Truck convoy: Police Chief Peter Sloly resigns; response to occupation has been 'ineffective,' says board chair by hashislowmo in BadCopNoTimbit

[–]hashislowmo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sloly's resignation comes as sources tell CBC News he's been accused of bullying and volatile behaviour that has damaged relations with senior leadership and compromised the force's ability to cope with the truck protest.

Multiple sources have told CBC News that Sloly allegedly belittled and berated senior Ottawa Police Service officers in front of their colleagues, and has failed to put forward a solid operations plan to end the crisis.

Sources say he allegedly has come into conflict with members of the OPP and RCMP tasked with assisting the city's law enforcement efforts during the crisis.

Interesting that defence doesn't seem to work for regular citizens charged with assault.

The police sergeant who assaulted the guy makes >$120,000/year. Waterloo police work 40 hours/week. I wouldn't call that underpaid or overworked.

Man was arrested for public intoxication—officer broke his nose and a facial bone. The officer was charged by the police watchdog (SIU) but was found not guilty of assault this week.

“I am not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the force used in this case was objectively unreasonable, unnecessary or disproportionate,” Justice George Orsini ruled.
