Leaders of this
nation need a serious reality check - It is the duty of our public
servants and elected representatives to do the greatest good for the
greatest number of people over the longest period of time. The Canadian
Charter of rights and freedoms was founded upon the belief in the
sovereignty of God and the Rule of Law.
Cast your vote in
the next election by the measure of what our political managers and
public servants are actually doing or are refusing to do. Our actions
are always our final decisions.

Police STATE – The growing use of
torture in the streets of Canada. Punishment before trial and due
process in direct violation of the Rule of Law!
Society's prime gift to man is
security. Punishment
by burning alive was once a common practice in this world.
Are Tasers a modern scientific form of burning at the
stake? A reversal of justice, fairness, kindness, patience, and perhaps
even a betrayal of mercy, not to mention the suspension of habeas corpus
and for those who are murdered by these weapons, a denial of a fair
trial before punishment is administered on our city streets for
wrongdoing?
Manslaughter, by definition, is
defined as criminal negligence causing bodily harm or death. Are our public
servants employed as our law enforcement officers above this common law of doing
no harm?
When rights are old beyond knowledge of origin, they are
often called natural rights. But human rights are not really natural;
they are entirely social. They are relative and ever changing, being no
more than the rules of living -- recognized adjustments of relations
governing the ever-changing phenomena of human competition. The question
I am placing before the Canadian national family is this:
What
justification could possibly be used by those who condone the use of
tasers as a method of compelling obedience to law enforcement officers
for the purpose of controlling the individual
through fear of immediate and painful punishment in our places of
assembly, in our local neighborhoods and even in the private homes of
the Canadian people? This lack of brotherhood is both reprehensible and
inexcusable!
Is Canada, like our neighbor to the south, retrogressing
into the political tyranny of an advancing and increasingly more
militarized police state?
Have we devolved into a country where manslaughter
charges apply only to those who work outside of the protective
institutions of a government that is increasingly becoming a tyranny to
the citizens of Canada. Ordinary citizens go to prison while public servants and government leaders
escape all inquiries, investigations and due punishments for wrong-doing
and criminal behaviour?
Are our elected officials and public servants
completely free to exercise politics without principles, power
without conscience, science without ideals, industry without morality
and knowledge without character!
Tasers are now the device used in the place of reason in
order to immediately secure a suspect or disable an inconvenient person
or someone who has momentarily lost control of their personal
discipline. Lack of tact or tolerance by "officers of the peace" is
becoming mainstream in the peacekeeping efforts of our law enforcement
agencies and their chosen and increasingly force-minded personnel.
The manslaughter of Robert Dziekanski in British
Columbia witnessed by video tape before international audiences, and the
more recent death of Howard Hyde in Nova Scotia, should be deeply
disturbing to all Canadians.
These are markers of no end of trouble ahead if
they are not properly addressed according to the fundamentals of law
that must apply to every single citizen of Canada with no exceptions.
Politicians, policing authorities and regular law enforcement officers
are not exempt from the rule of law presently in
effect in Canada regarding
torture.
In the parental wisdom of the primary and nuclear social group of
the people, the human family and its institution the family home, when
violence breaks loose the issues at hand are quickly addressed with
non-violent adjustments through parental wisdom to restore the peace. All good parents realize
that nothing but troubles loom ahead if this behavior is not immediately
resolved and an atmosphere of peace restored to the family home.
Likewise, in the local community when trouble with an
unthinking and unruly neighbour threatens the peace of the
neighbourhood, the members of the community make a sincere effort to quickly address these
disturbances, through the use of tact and tolerance, in order to
re-establish peace in their communities.
No one, but the unthinking and the unwise, resort to the
use of violence, knowing full well the consequence of such unthinking
action will result in more and escalating violence until finally the
peacemakers of the neighbourhood through non-violent methods and the
utilization of the higher moral and ethical applications of human
relations restore the peace.
These applied principles of non-violent resolutions to
conflict management and resolving human misunderstandings must be
applied up to and including all those individuals employed by the people
of Canada to KEEP THE PEACE and to be a true representation of
the will of the Canadian people to seek non-violent resolutions to
difficult social problems.
When society fails to punish crimes, group resentment
usually asserts itself as lynch law. In the past, the provision of
sanctuary was a means of escaping this sudden group anger. Tasers and
pepper spray represent the unwillingness of the individual police
officer to surrender private redress to the rule of law. The continued
use of violent force by officers of the law will regress society to a
lynch-mob form of justice. Individuals will lose faith in the present
system of reposing justice to the judicial and legislative bodies of
human governments.
Law-abiding and peace-loving citizens will not tolerate
torture in our city streets in the place of a true and
idealized justice
system where every citizen is entitled to be found innocent or guilty in
a formal and civilized court of law.
In
our courts of justice legal experts who are knowledgeable in articulating a
proper defense and skilled in ironing out trifling misunderstandings, differences of
opinions, outlooks, and viewpoints, they must skillfully and
fairly adjudicate the misunderstanding at hand before social
punishment may be administered, or in the case that innocence has been
established an individual or group of individuals are set free in accordance with accepted and civilized
fundamental law.
Justice makes a nation great, and the greater a nation
the more solicitous will it be to see that injustice shall not befall
even its most humble citizen. Trouble and retrogression will fall upon
any nation when only those who possess money and influence can secure
ready justice before its courts! It is the sacred duty of a magistrate
to acquit the innocent as well as to punish the guilty. Upon the
impartiality, fairness, and integrity of its courts the endurance of a
nation depends. Civil government is founded on justice, even as true
religion is founded on mercy and for this very reason Canada was founded
upon principles that recognize the supremacy of
God and the rule of law.
As our peace officers grow older in years and more
experienced in the affairs of keeping the peace, they should also be
becoming more tactful in dealing with troublesome men and women and more
tolerant in working with stubborn associates. Tact is the fulcrum of
social leverage, and tolerance is the earmark of a great soul.
If in the future our officers of the law possess these rare and
charming gifts, as the days pass they will become more alert and expert
in their worthy efforts to avoid all unnecessary social
misunderstandings. Such wise souls are able to avoid much of the trouble
which is certain to be the portion of all who suffer from lack of
emotional adjustment, those who refuse to grow up, and those who refuse
to grow old gracefully. They will have learned through the experience of life
that a soft answer turns away anger when confronted on the streets of
our cities by unthinking outbursts and resistant behaviour arising from
the circumstances of life.
We, as a people, in this generation have addressed the problems of
bullies among our family members and are now addressing this
situation in our schools and places of assembly.
We
must turn our attention to those few who have made it into uniforms and pose
as our keepers of the peace while in their hearts they are unwilling to
surrender to the higher social and ethical calling of peace and good
will.
