dont be so aggressive with older people...

A lot of people in the Ottawa police beat people up.

It goes unseen and they lie about it,they also make up stories like "this person was hitting my cruiser hood".The hood has dents in it,but what they say are lies.

They must be stopped as they prey on the most vulnerable like a pack of vultures.

He seems like a respectable fellow. I can't say I have any issues with him as chief here in Ottawa. Some of his constables though......
