All this guy is doing is milking his "pacifism" for all it's worth and turning it into a business.  So, a little controversy can't hurt on the university lecture circuit. No doubt other like minded fools are already lining up to here about his heroic exploits.  These people are living proof...

Found this link for those interested in BHP and G17 comparison http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/Hi%20Power%20and%20Glock17.htm

It has been about 20 years since I have seen a BHP, so I guess the modern upgrades make them easier to handle now, before the safety catch was very small and awkward.  What I am trying to get across is that there is an intermediary step that has to be taken after the weapon is loaded (round...

9mm Browning Hi-Power or F.N. P35 (Fabrique Nationale Pistol 1935) has been around  since before WWII, it was made by FN (Belgium) and Inglis (Canada).  After the Germans invaded Belgium the P35 was favoured by Wermacht and SS troops because of its 13 round magazine capacity.  It is an excellent...

TPS has not contributed personnel to any UN postings since 2003-2004.

Unfriendly competition and careerism is a fact of life in most corporate jobs when there is only a limited number of spots at "the top".  The difference: every Chief of Police starts his career as a Constable.  I don't think too many army generals starting out as privates (or equivalent). ...

Zipperhead, I'll email to your hotmail

Blackhorse7 I think you have hit the nail on the head, in the sense that it may be of more benefit depending on the particular police service chosen by the applicant. I have been with TPS since 1985 and have worked  worked in nine different units, both investigative and support.  The longest...

There are people who are passionate for their defence of Israel, some say they are even apologists.  I have worked with Israeli security people and I think people tend to hold them up to be some sort of superior organization, they're not, they make mistakes like anyone else.  The Israeli's are...

Re: I would imagine that many services would not care if their members went on a tour. That may or may not be the case, because there are also officers that are absent from duty because of, Dependent & Child Care Leave, Injured on Duty, Maternity and Paternity Leave, Annual Leaves etc. etc.  So...

Yellow ribbon - Support our troops stickers have been a common sight in the US for the last 2 years.  Its about time the idea is finally catching on in Canada.  I would encourage the OPP and other municipal forces to follow suit, that may force the Toronto Police Commission to adopt the...

The Australian government is also investigating whether ANZAC graves were damaged

Hi Zipper, I agree with what you are saying in an overall sense that military experience would be a benefit to the individual officer, however the question was," Will military experience up the chances for police recruiting?"  When referring to the recruiters I was just making a generalization...

Military experience can't hurt and would be a definite asset going through police college or on a tactical unit, however military experience alone won't cut it getting you through the door.  In most cases hiring of new recruits comes after a lengthy process of tests, interviews and a point...

It's all just B.S. to get a quick photo op for the Toronto Police Commission The reality is that the TPS only gives it's CF Reserve members unpaid time off to attend military training to a max of 2 weeks per year and only on approval based on TPS operational needs.  This provision was...

The problem stems from the radical Islamist's view on unveiled women being the "soldiers of Satan".  This view is gaining momentum in every Muslim country in the world.  Why are Muslim women in Canada and other western countries starting to wear veils in greater numbers? They are doing it to...

I'm not a scientist or an economist, however I have been in a closed room where one person is smoking a cigarette and in a closed room where several people are smoking.  My point is this, historical only the US and Western European economies have been smoking, now China and India are lighting...

Currently, Australia is probably the most supportive ally the US has next to the UK.  The support for Iraq from the UK could dry up quickly if there is a gov't change and  Brits pull out, as military planning progresses.  As far as Australia is concerned, PM John Howard seems to be pushing...

I hope I can shed some light on Tactical EMS in Toronto.  I am a former ETF officer and have attended gun calls with Tactical EMS.  In cases of tactical calls the ETF and Ambulance are requested to attend by the regular police.  If a Tactical EMS trained unit is available they will attend, if...

If it was just a matter of the police having to deal with normal people including irate motorists there would not be a big deal about wearing nametags.  The problem is that police deal with a lot of dickheads that have access to computers and know how to pull up 411.ca. address.  Some officers...
