From the RCMP on down, this is standard in Canada. Peel Region police, Toronto Police, Durham Regional Police on and on, so many instances. I don't know what the punishment for this should be but I do know that an officer threatening to frame someone should end in dismissal (there was no punishment even though caught on video and the story even caught the attention of U.S influencers where they specifically stated how much money the officers were making as he was shocked).
Meh, Canadas expanding and unaccountable police state. Nothing a good tariff or two can't fix. Even without tariffs, we have bankrupted our system with bad apples.
An internal investigation into allegations the police chief of Windsor, Ont., made racist remarks to a Black officer has found the claims to be true, CBC News has learned.
"The investigation has substantiated that Chief Jason Bellaire made comment(s) that constitute a breach of WPS Directive(s)," according to an internal summary of the investigation.
CBC News obtained, and verified, the confidential document that summarized the outcome of a complaint filed by Ed Armstrong, the service's first Black inspector. The summary didn't outline which specific allegations were substantiated.
The summary states "the investigator found that the comment(s) were made in what [Bellaire] believed to be a 'safe space' based on his existing relationship with [Armstrong] and do not amount to a poisoned work environment."
When asked in an email to confirm whether the allegations against Bellaire were substantiated, Windsor police's corporate communications director, Gary Francoeur, said, "The information in your message is not entirely accurate.
"However, as the matter is still before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO), we cannot comment further at this time," he said.
Francoeur refused to clarify what he meant by "not entirely accurate."
