So, I haven't posted in a long while even while all kinds of police shennanigans have been going on. I've exhausted the police self-investigation route, which is no surprise, they will of course protect themselves, and if the testimomy of the RCMP in the YVR is any indication, LIE THROUGH THEIR TEETH to back up their story.
I have said this before and I will say this again. As a former military person and security services member (Israel Defence Forces) I was always a natural ally to the police. No more. I don't trust them at all, and its not just about my case. If not for the video of the taser incident at YVR, the lies and fabrications of the RCMP officers that tasered a man to death would never have come out.
We also have police attacking and robbing a news delivery person in downtown Vancouver, numerous incidents of drunk driving by officers. We have police attacking a Province photographer, and the list goes on.
At present, my case is being reviewed by the BC Ombudsman, but they don't investigate the police, just the city.
One can also state that the police aren't really managing their main job, which is handling violent crime, we are a laughing matter worldwide with all the gang murders here. Do I a citizen have confidence in our police department? Hell no!

The Hammer drops
Never mind the shoe drop, this is much more like a hammer.
From the November 6th Press release:
November 6, 2008
City issues statement re: financing of Olympic Village
The financial and schedule risks assumed by the City with respect to the Olympic Village remain unchanged. The City is conducting business related to Southeast False Creek and the Olympic Village pursuant to a unanimous Council mandate.
From Former Mayor Sam Sullivan Open Letter
As Mayor, it is my duty to reinforce a number of facts. First, the Olympic Village will be delivered on time next year. Second, our city staff has been acting in the best interests of taxpayers
So, Judy Rogers walked away from all this with what we can all assume was a very hefty severance. Several Council members who were involved in this fiasco are still part of the current Council. The City is still paying Richard Peck an undisclosed sum at I am sure fairly hefty hourly rates to "investigate". No one has said how it is that Estelle Lo was "resigned" without Council knowing about it. Its fairly evident that as Director of Finance she had serious concerns about this whole fiasco.
No accountability whatsoever.
