The Chronicle Journal is reporting that "RCMP say a settlement has been reached in a lawsuit that alleged a former spokesman for the force in British Columbia sexually harassed a civilian employee. The lawsuit against former inspector Tim Shields had been scheduled to go to trial on Tuesday but court documents show the parties agreed to dismiss the action without costs in May. RCMP Sgt. Janelle Shoihet says the terms of the settlement are confidential."
Another gag order hides more RCMP sexual harassment. The civil claim alleged a top-down culture of harassment within the force. That is why there was a class action law suit against the RCMP which was also settled out of court. Tim Shields is a bad man.
Yeah, taxpayers can't know how much of their money was spent to settle yet another instance of a pathetic POS who uses his uniform and authority to try and bully someone into giving him some sex. LMMFAO.
ReplyDelete"RCMP out of B.C." Problem is even if you can get that done, a lot of the cops on the street will be the same guys with a change of uniform. It's critical that none of the RCMP's "dead wood" gets hired by the Surrey Police or a reincarnated BC Provincial Police Service. This will be hard to do. There will have to be a lot of hiring of new people, and they will need to be trained by other than "the usual suspects" who inoculate new hires with the poison that is the Canadian Policing Culture.
Yes but the problems within the RCMP are from the top down not the bottom up. They kept promoting people accused of sexual harassment so it became a part of their culture. Thus the "Friends of Crag Callen" insanity.
DeleteAgreed. I think there's an aspect of promoting people they have something on for all the reasons they'd want that. What say you on that score?
ReplyDeleteWhat score?
DeleteThe idea that they like to promote people they have something on.....
ReplyDeleteThat was the rumor in reverse about Jim Brown. They claimed he had dirt on them so they kept him on. In the FOCCers (Friends of Craig Callen) it was just a bunch of dirty ass swingers who liked to party together.
