Toronto Police Hiring Investigators To Watch Dog Special Investigations Unit

Great idea. Many defense attorneys use their own investigators.. Having an investigator on the FOP payroll would be well worth the extra dues as long as they hired the right people for the job, like some well qualified retired federal agents. They'd have more credibility in front of a jury than anyone working for Chief White. If they're available, you should try hiring the agents who took the video of Marion Barry smoking his crack pipe.

Funny thing, a couple of organizations have offered to do this for free. Hopefully the new president will want to work with them, rather than chase away anything he can't control himself.

I don't know why you think I'm a medic - in fact, I'm a cop certified to teach Taser. Obviously you know nothing of electricity - it is possible to do this when standing, with rubber-soled shoes, for example, breaks the conductivity. But when sitting down, or rolling around, you can pass through the shock because the body is grounded. It won't be as strong as the person getting the initial shock, but it'll wake you up. Don't believe me, try it at your next Taser training.

You probably aren't aware that if you do CPR and the person survives, they'll throw up on you, either.

Any officer who thinks they may ever be sued should be familiar with KRS 65.2005
