Whoopee. Okay, how stupid has this job action been? Well, we had a major loss of revenue to the city with no parking tickets being handed out. We had examples of police intimidation with some assholes marching in the rally in uniform AGAINST their boss', the police chief's, direct order not to do so and one particularly large prick giving a person a speeding ticket for doing ONE kilometre per hour over the limit (which in reality would mean everyone under 75 years old would be charged everyday they drove in Toronto). Add in the various uniform violations, the handing out of pamphlets to pedestrians and just really ignorant rants by the dipshit head of the TPA (Toronto Police Association) and you have a major drop in support by the public for the people in blue hired to protect us.
On the politician side of things, they ended up given in to the major demand that the police are the highest paid in Ontario if not Canada (which is only right), so what was the real issue in this whole thing? We will probably never know. I, for one, question a police force that is openly defiant to the people who make the rules, are their superiors and pay their wages. And these folks are the ones with the guns? I am not at all impressed or amused at any of this.
So, where do we go from here? I think there needs to be stronger powers given to a group that oversees the essential services. no, I do not think that group is the Police Sevrices Board as they all seem to need a set of dunce caps over there.
I will end by saying I am glad the strike is over. Welcome back folks in blue! Now, go out and do your (*&^%(*&^ jobs.
Peace.
