Fiesty old bugger

Thanks for the diagnoses doc. "so what is it old man? according to your actions I have learned from reading a CTV article, I have concluded that a) you're either a dick, or b) you have dementia"

Try a couple years of Police Foundations Combined with a couple years of working security, and 7 years of military experience Jacknut...
I'm not a Doc. I never said I was, and I'll be the first one to say that my life experience is nothing compared to what some have. But, I have been around the block a few times.. Hell... living in Hamilton I should get Bonus points.. its the Crazy capital of Ontario... no I'm serious.. ever since Hamilton Psych closed its doors it let TONS of em out onto the streets... And I hear a few stories as well. I have an Aunt who works as a Palliative Care nurse and Social Worker... so she deals with OMHA cases every day. Usually Cases of Dementia where the police have to be called in to remove the person from their home because they are now a danger to themselves and those around them. (normally the police are able to do it without using force.) Do you even know what OMHA Stands for? Go on... Take a shot in the Dark... (Without Using Google)

I suppose I could have Clarified my previous Post but i was under the assumption that most people on here are fairly reasonable...

I mean hey, if you can come up with any good reason to take off running in your car, from a cop, after pulling over, AND dragging the cop X number of Feet, AND injuring him, AND when finally confronted at his home resists LAWFUL Detention and arrest, forcing the police to use force to bring you in? then hey.... I'll listen.... but I don't know about you, but here in Logic-land (its like Lego-land without all the cool toys) thats called either a mental Disorder, or he's an asshole.... one... or the other.... cause I really cant think of a Third Possibility....

either way, like i said, he needs to be removed.if they can treat him, great, but he cant just keep walking around the way he is.

Damn! I'm sure he'll be glad you're not his judge... he'd be guilty until proven innocent.

Actually I wholeheartedly Support Due Process, and the belief of innocence until guilt has been proven. I think where you and I Differ is that I support Real Sentencing and Punishment in the Correctional system as opposed to the "slap on the wrist" type that we usually see...

Believe me, If I were a Judge there would be a lot of really sorry Criminals in Jail, and a lot of Happy Cops, when they find out I'm the one hearing the Case.

Regards.

Uhhh, isn't that the insurance company that used to sponsor "Wild Kingdom"?  Mutual of OMHA?  I loved that show.  Crazy old man and the young guy that always was the one in danger.  HAHAHAHAH.  Stupid hippos! :blotto:

I loved that show! "While I observe from inside the armoured car, Bob annoys the white rhino with his slingshot."

 

[zipperhead_cop]

Sorry, Cpl T.  That was a bit of a shot, but not at you.  Sometimes my tangent-oriented brain gets too off track.

No Worries Bud! That was the funniest thing ive read all week!  ;D

That was Jim...Jim used to wrestle with the lions and tigers and the...

anyway, sorry I've come late to this but...If I stopped someone at the side of the rad and they dragged me down the street with their vehicle I don't think that I'd be too keen on them getting behind the wheel of anything more powerful than a shopping cart to say the least!

The guy still broke the law and almost killed someone else while doing it!

Draw your own conclusions.

I guess my point is that this "elderly gentleman" was being a reckless tool with a disregard for the safety of others.  The story is barely out of the bricks, and people are qualifying his actions and making excuses for him.  If the story was of a 25 year old man, everyone would be screaming for blood.   Why does putting in 80 years buy him some sort of a-hole currency?  If he is sick, that is unfortunate.  But we don't get the luxury of feeling bad for him.  The State has to act swiftly to try to ensure he doesn't keep on driving around in a blind white rage mowing people down.  The rest is details. 
Is it so unreasonable to read the information in the story and conclude "this guy is whacked.  Get him off the road"?

Well, he has court on Thursday, so we'll stand by to see the "Wheel 'o' Justice" in action.  :

Since I'm way away in Poland, could you tell me how this one works out? By the way i have a brother in the ambulance service out your way - From what he's said, you have my sympathies being in the police in those parts...

Depends what city or town your brother is in.  I personally feel we have a good time here in Windsor, as compared to other cities.  However, it is well acknowledged that we have the worst judges in the country. 
I won't be back to work until next Tuesday.  I'll try to see if there was any head way. 
By the way, the "poor little confused grampy" is 6'1" and 235 lbs.

maybe the onset of some sort of dementia brought on by a stroke or Alzheimer's? This dude should have been forced to see a medical specialist of some type. If he's like this with LEO, he's probably entering a stage where he'll be a danger to himself and others.

Thanks for the reply. A darn frustrating life - being in the police. Mind you, some of the gentle-men/women I have met or dealt with can be frustrating - I moved in once to an apartment in Saskatoon and found vials of cocaine and needles hidden in various locations (who stores their insulin under carpet, underthe radiator?). Carefully making sure nothing would be touched by my daughter, I phoned - only to get a lecture on drug use. In the end I hung-up and dumped the bloody stuff - which pissed off the previous occupants when they came looking for it all. I'm afraid I cannot rate the efficiency of the Saskatoon Police force (of some ten years' ago) very high... By the way in your work areas, do you have an "enquiries" number? In Saskatoon, there was only the 911, a call like mine isn't an emergency - nor were calls I've made to report break-ins (which were quite frequent in that area) - but none-the-less, are good to report. What suggestions could you make  about making the service better for you, and better for the public?

This is ranging a bit towards a hijack, but every service has a non emergency number.  It should be fairly easy to find in the phone book.  The number for OPP for all of Ontario is 1 (888) 310-1122.  I won't be able to help you out with anything in Poland, though.

Thanks for that - Poland for emergency service it's 999 - incidently they do alot of foot patrol etc here - and as it is garrison town, the MP's in training are out there too. By the way, the Scots are so short of police that they are importing them from Poland - probably because the Poles and Scots speak the same language.... may be a good go for ye out there your way. Hijacks. My first name is Jack.. my brother got into serious manure once in Saskatoon for greeting me at the airport...

If you are talking about the language of alcohol, then I can believe they speak the same.  :cheers:

Hi, Jack.  I get it.  Har.
