It is all part of their control techniques. This tactic was first instituted under Craig Bromell's watch. The outrageous right-wing, pro-cop comments you see here are the result of it. No one but a cop would make such overwhelmingly biased and ignorant statements that ignores thousands of research studies and inquiries into the conduct of the police, particularly where it concrns racial profiling.I tell you that I have actually traced IP addresses to Ontario government web sites. The unfortunate thing is that they are doing this on the taxpayer's dime. If you look at qualified and legitimate stats the police have very little to do. It is why they might find time to get together, buy a case of beer and go to the beach and beat someone for several hours ( you know the case I am talking about) while on duty. It is the Paul Culvers of the world that told them that they can do such things on our dime. Break the law boys, I got your back. Fortunately he is gone and let us hope that there will be a new era of accountability for the police force that we all pay for. In the meantime, ignore the gnoramouses. Did you know that until very recently, the Ontario police Act only required a grade 9 level of education. You know exactly what you are dealing with hereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17300290.post-7305113516238608142009-05-06T15:20:00.000-04:002009-05-06T15:20:00.000-04:00I would like to say first off that this whole situ...I would like to say first off that this whole situation can be analyzed to the death but the fact remains that both the police and the man were in the wrong. . We will never know if these men are racists, only they will truly know. There are racists of every colour. White people face racisim just like any other colour. It may not be as often or intense but it is still there, don't think it is not.<br /><br />The police should not have pushed him away from the button when he said he would wait for the next elevator. If they needed that elevator for thier work then why not let him take the next one? And if it was the only elevator in the building they could of had the landlord put it on service for them so that they would have exclusive use of it. Also if they were so busy with thier "investigation" then when Mr. Badin turned around and went back into his apartment, they should have pressed the button to have the door shut and go on to the the floor where they are conducting thier investigation. Instead they decided to interupt thier investigation to come out of the elevator to see where the man is going and already have guns drawn even before he could return with the knife. <br /><br />Now of course, Mr. Badin should have never taken the law into his own hands and pulled out a knife. BUT he did not know who these people were and when he turned to go back to his apartment and they followed him, he got scared. Just like anyone would and panicked. He did not make to right decision by pulling a knife but at least he made the right decision by not using it. <br /><br />The police on the other hand beat this man to a pulp in his own house. They did not need to use excessive force. Just like if someone hits you, you can not stab them in self defence. Equal force. Mr. Badin pulled a knife and the police split open his head with the butt end of a gun. This is excesive force. After the first hit they could of had him in handcuffs and detained they did not need to proceed any further. <br /><br />However, life is not fair and niether are people. It is easy to place blame on someone else but very hard to accept responsibility when you have done something wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17300290.post-89300574866751658692008-12-26T10:11:00.000-05:002008-12-26T10:11:00.000-05:00"(cops on an unrelated investigation bump into a v..."(cops on an unrelated investigation bump into a visibly Muslim young man and decide, for reasons one can only imagine, to take him down)."<BR/><BR/>I just re-read the article and this really stuck out. This has to be the worst piece of biased journalism i have ever encountered. <BR/><BR/>Read the facts. The guy waved a knife in the air after going back into the apartment to fetch it! After being denied entry into an elevator with 3 undercover cops in it conducting an investigation in the building, most likelly using the elevator for this purpose!<BR/><BR/>So no, you don't have to imagine why this happened, all you have to do is research the event, which you obviously DID NOT DO!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17300290.post-5240759606332466822008-12-26T09:54:00.000-05:002008-12-26T09:54:00.000-05:00To the last poster "Anonymous".

Before i post a comment related to your post i feel i have to say that i am not "a white boy".<BR/><BR/>Please note that this guy came back from his apartment waving a KNIFE in the air, why would anyone in their right mind come at 3 men with a knife after being denied entry into an elevator? <BR/><BR/>Did you in your infinite wisdom think that maybe the 3 undercover cops NEEDED the elevator to conduct their business? Probably not, maybe they should have stepped out, paused their investigation and held the door for this guy because he's late for mosque, i mean, it's better to be polite than to be considered racist. And they couldn't pull their badges because THEY WERE UNDERCOVER and have no idea who this brother is! <BR/><BR/>Should the guy holding the baby have had a weapon in his face, YES, the cop didn't know if the guy was armed and ready to kill the child. This was un unknown situation to the 3 cops, they had someone in the apartment ready to cut them up because they denied him an elevator ride, who knows what else he was ready to do. So yeah, they gotta come in there and start putting asses on the floor.<BR/><BR/>You come at me with a knife and i'll do anything i can do protect myself, including sticking a gun in your face. <BR/><BR/>Now put yourself in the shoes of these cops (although i doubt you will be able to, you're obviously so short sighted you can't see past your nose) this guy just came at them with a knife in a building that is being investigated by them, ofcourse they have to enter the apartment and arrest this guy, you can't honestly say they should have let him go?<BR/><BR/>Go a step further and reverse their color. Had it been a white guy waving a knife at 3 black cops and you would have jumped up and down cause the trailor park trash familly just got stomped by 3 brothers!<BR/><BR/>You and people like you embarace ME, my familly and other non whites, use your head before you use your mouth!!!<BR/><BR/>This familly needs counseling though, courtesy of Toronto police. It's too bad this guy couldn't keep himself in checkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17300290.post-50658210999879200942008-12-12T23:02:00.000-05:002008-12-12T23:02:00.000-05:00Im not surprised to read the comments from the 2 p...Im not surprised to read the comments from the 2 posts above, after all they are also Racist white boys who have never ever been harassed by their white brethren. white people know nothing of racism because they are the instigators of racism. All white cops are RACIST. they are white after all eh. As a matte rof fact I am positive that the 2 above posters have also racially harassed many people in their time, that is of course a white boys base character genetic trait. Check history, whites have always been the racist evil race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17300290.post-51101815660355911972008-11-29T17:31:00.000-05:002008-11-29T17:31:00.000-05:00It seems to me, that racial profiling was not the ...It seems to me, that racial profiling was not the case here as the "Anonymous" above has stated and has everything to do with stupidity.<BR/><BR/>Usually if I am confronted by three men out numbering me telling me to not step into an elevator I would comply, but sure enough this individual decided to escalate the situation. Drawing a weapon because three men told you to not enter an elevator and to leave forthwith is not a valid excuse.<BR/><BR/>If you haven't noticed already, usually Police take downs are never "by the book" because the individual they are taking down usually will struggle in their own unique way so things have to be changed to fit this specific need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17300290.post-60401927987209184322008-08-06T11:50:00.000-04:002008-08-06T11:50:00.000-04:00let me get this straight, this guy gets pissed off...let me get this straight, this guy gets pissed off because these cops wouldn't let him on the elevator, then he goes back to his apartment to get a knife to confront these guys. Later finds out they are undercover police and then has a problem with it. I'm not saying these cops made the right decision, but his actions prove that he's no better than the cops that alledgedly assaulted him. This is simply stupid actions from stupid people, nothing to do with being a racist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
