For the Fallen

Posted by: Blue

Today, my first day of duty since the shooting in Ottawa, we wore olive green under-shirts which peeked through the open collars of our blue uniform shirts; a tribute to the fallen soldier.



A portion of now famous cartoon by Bruce MacKinnon, originally printed in the Chronicle Herald. If you would like a print, the proceeds will be donated to the family of the murdered soldier - Cpl. Nathan Cirillo. Please see here for details on ordering a print.

God bless his family.

The Princess and the Pee

Posted by: Blue

Our 17 year old arrestee had to wait for about five minutes for a female officer to search her. She remained handcuffed and wasn't permitted to use the washroom until she was searched. She kicked at the door for three minutes and then intentionally pissed herself, then rolled around and dragged her hair through the puddle, soaking her clothing and head. 

She ended up in a spit sock and RIPP hobble restraints after spitting at us when we walked through the cell door.  While we dragged her off to jail as an intoxicated and violent direct lock-up, she left a soggy trail of urine from the cell all the way to the cruiser car. 

At the hospital (a mandatory stop for all intoxicated youths), she asked the doctor to check if she was pregnant. She was not. 

Summer

Posted by: Blue

I've been wiling away the summer somewhat lazily. Blog included.

We've been out to the beach and camping and fishing and BBQing and enjoying the short, hot months of summer up North here.

I had a rough winter this past year. I'm hoping that this one is a little less trying, a little less cold and a whole lot shorter.

Hope you are all well.

Cheers.
