That explains a lot.
So, using a weapon, he smashes a store window worth $$$$???, jumps on his skateboard and flees the scene. He says his headphones block out the Police yells and the dog barks. Police use the dog to apprehend him and he struggles while bitten, worsening the injury to his leg? He is carrying a weapon and resisting arrest. "The dog latched on a few times to his leg. Mr. Evans says I would have thought he would have stopped struggling after the first time he was bitten. Wouldn't you? | yeah your leg is being torn apart... staying completely still is really comprehensible... Quote:
Gotta remember this release is from PIVOT who want charges dropped and taxpayer money.
| no... his charges were already dropped by crown before PIVOT got involved... PIVOT is campaigning against the liberal use of K9 units and this guy is simply the most current example for their cause of restricting K9 use... so they're "supporting" him by taking his case to the police watchdog ;)
the sk8r is taking the city and the pd to court to seek damages Quote:

PIVOT reminds me of those crazy tin foil hat folks mixed in with a dash of ambulance chasing lawyers, it seems anytime anything comes out of their mouths, it is so ridiculously one sided. Seems they never do any investigations into facts before spouting off to the media the majority of the time. | PIVOT is a voice for those who've been stepped on in society, the group that are usually shunned and not listened to... Legal Aid has been decimated over the years and PIVOT is doing its part in helping those with no voice regardless where they're from and those without voices are usually the ones that are seen as the "undesirables" of society, would you support PIVOT if they, like the rest, ignored these elements of the community? They investigate as much as they can but you have to remember they're a non-profit volunteer group there's only so much they can do with the resources they have @ hand... want them to do a better job? donate your time or funds
PIVOT is essentially that guy in the crowd of observers that comes out and goes "HEY that's not right!" you know the guy that we here on RS usually support for having the "balls" to stand up and do whats right for the little guy, the bullied kid, the senior being pushed around; even if the guy may not have the full story that's besides the point because @ that very instance he sees something uncalled for and tries to put a stop to it
the only reason people have a problem with PIVOT is because of Who they're usually standing up for and protecting, but that shouldn't be of concern and if it is its more than likely an issue you should reflect on regarding yourself; the concentration should simply be upon the act that PIVOT is trying to put a stop to (in this case excessive/liberal K9 use which leads to serious injury) |
