keep this in mind peeps, you WILL NEED IT, you just won't know when..... been there before.....
Police Unions in Canada are too powerful...complaints about cops dont go too far...if they get investigated is just to get the complainants at easy...The end result is always de same...Many cases probe that they are always found not guilty of whatever they have been acused...or they get a slap on the wrist...they wont even listen to their chief if He doesnt agree 100% on their demands...in this country they are as powerful as the army is in Latin America.
