TPS, OPP and RCMP are National Security threats. Peel Region are just outright creepy, but far from alone.

Another taxpayer bail-out for a douchebag.

Ontario's Human Rights Tribunal orders Peel police board to pay $35K after six-year-old Black girl handcuffed at school

TORONTO -- The Peel Regional Police Board has been ordered by Ontario’s Human Rights Tribunal to pay $35,000 in damages after a six-year-old Black girl was handcuffed by officers at her Mississauga school more than four years ago.

“In handcuffing the applicant’s hands behind her back and holding her on her stomach with her ankles handcuffed for at least 28 minutes, the officers violated the applicant’s rights under Sec. 1 of the Human Rights Code to equal treatment in the provision of services by treating her in a way they would not have treated a white child,” tribunal adjudicator Brenda Bowlby wrote in her decision rendered on Dec. 31, 2020.

On Sept. 30, 2016, two officers with Peel Regional Police responded to a 911 call from a Peel District School Board elementary school.


It was the fourth time police were called by the school for assistance with the child that month.

Following multiple hearings regarding the encounter that took place on that day between the girl, who weighed 48 pounds at the time, and the two cops, who were both six-feet tall and 190-200 pounds, Bowlby found the officers’ actions to be “shocking” and “punitive.”

Bowlby also noted that the child became fearful of police, suffered teasing, withdrew from friends and felt humiliation, shame and guilt as a result of the incident.

“The applicant was frightened by the manner in which she was treated by the officers during the incident,” Bowlby said in her decision. “I find that this incident has caused the applicant to view the police as a source of punishment and that she is now apprehensive of police officers.”

How out of control and bad was the 6 year old......I blame the parents.

Human Rights Tribunal

I simply do not like the idea of Human Rights Tribunals.

At the Nuremberg Trials, former SS guards were hanged in the gallows regardless of whether or not they they were personally responsible or culpable for the Holocaust atrocities and war crimes of which they were accused.

Canada has more or less uniform federal and provincial statutes on Offences Against the Person which I am sure can be applied against officers of the law who commit such acts under color of law without the proper authorization, unless there is no Internal Affairs department at the police station, or the same court system cannot be impartial toward crimes committed by police officers as opposed to ordinary citizens in other lines of duty.
