So are the police looking at this invasion of privacy?

I recently met a homeless man who had a very badly burnt hand (second degree blisters). He told me that he was sleeping when he woke up with his sleeping bag on fire and he said he was lucky to get out of the sleeping bag without only his hand being burnt. He believed that someone "lite me up" and I told him that I would go with him to the police to report the crime. He declined, saying: "I'M NOT GOING TO REPORT THIS TO THE CALGARY POLICE BECAUSE I MIGHT GET THE SAME ASSHOLE WHO BEAT MEN UP LAST WEEK." I had no answer for that because I knew it to be true. Those who believe that we should live in a police state where police should be able to punish "bad" people will always believe that the police are just "doing their job", those who believe that police HAVE to obey our laws, are inclinded to view these incidents a bit mote objectively.

Two years ago my girlfriend wrongly accused me of domestic violence. Since then she has changed her medication and is a lot better.
I was hauled away in handcuffs in the back of the paddywagon, but I was never in any way physically treated bad.
It looks to me like the people refused to leave after being requested to.
Re: Mr Oshanek - If you Google him to read his comments on other blogs, it appears he views his being a deadbeat dad as "the state expected me to maintain my interest in a liability which they had created for me"
Someone should report Aftab Hussain to the privacy commissioner.

Richard: What is it about a young man being kicked down some stairs which you think has to do with guilt or innocence of a prisoner and a citizen's expressed and rational fear of local police? Perhaps segments of society are afraid of police because they "get kicked down stairs" far too often. Was this young native man charged by the police ... no ... do you know why he was detained? ... no ... do you know why he was kicked down the stairs ... no you do not ... do you know what the legal standard is for police to detain someone ... I suspect not. People on the fringes of society are afraid of the police sometimes with cause and this video reinforces that attitude.
Many police think that they are the law and above the law rather then a component of it and they excede their authority many times.

Mr. Anonoymous choose to not to use his own name while I do. Yes Mr. "Hide Your Identity" I said that I live in a country where the state dictates to me exactly what is the relationship I can have with my own children and that if the state can tell me what my relationship is with those children then they (the children) are not mine but belong to the state.

Yes, in a divorce over 10 years ago I lost my means of making a living(my own business where I earned over $ 350,000.00 a year), my home, my children and almost my life. At the time a judge "ordered me to pay child support I was sleeping on the seat of my truck with no prospect of any job. And yes I have been homeless ever since and I have had no means by which I could pay what the court ordered me to pay to my ex-wife (the court made up an income for me and said that I had made "over $ 350,000.00 a year before so I should just go out and earn it again). The sad fact is my ex-wife walked away with cash and assets utimately worth over $ 750,000.00 and I was allowed by the court to keep a tax debt of $ 512,000.00.

To this date, I have never seen the kids nor have I seen 10 cents from the assets I worked for for over 26 years. So Mr. "I don't want to be responsible for what I write" please come and sleep in my back alley (but far away from me) before you make such out of context comments or please do loan me a couple of hundred thousand dollars so I can "pay my bills to my ex-wife". The issue is not me silly little hidden man, it's a cop who kicked a boy down a flight of stairs without benifit of a court authorizing such punishment against him or ever
charging that young man with any crime or offence.

What is being non-compliant with police? Welcome to
the world of people who will do everything they are told to do. Please waive to me on your way to the "showers" when your time comes or object object object if you do not want a police state.
