Definite food for thought from the other side.
The 'other side'?

I represented a CPS officer born in Pakistan. He was routinely called a 'sand n-word' by his superior officer and one day during morning parade meeting the superior pointed his service revolver at my client's head.

When my client filed a formal complaint (because, you know it is 100% criminal to point a gun at someone's head in that scenario), it was dismissed as an incident of 'horseplay' and therefore not requiring discipline. There was no disputing my client found himself staring down the barrel of his boss's gun while in his workplace (it was of course done in front of all of the other shift-mates that morning)...it just didn't make it to the level of anyone in the service being prepared to do anything about it.

My client, now deemed a complainer, was ostracized and pushed out of the service. The superior was promoted and still is there today shaping officers in his command.

There may well be questions to raise about any particular person claiming they are a victim, but it is simply beyond any reasonable dispute that rampant unlawful bullying and harassment has become the cultural norm at CPS.

Two official reports have found it to be so, the current Chief who has worked there for more than 30 years has publicly described it as a decades-long problem, and the current Calgary Police Commission has identified it as its top priority to fulfill its role of civilian oversight of the CPS.

With respect, Joe's credibility is zero when he says:

I can guarantee, without knowing the names, that most or all of these people are #### pumps. They are doing ####ty or no work and getting flak for it.
He can guarantee it even though he doesn't know who the people are? What a fool.

Food for thought...
