Sadly, this is not filed under 'perversion', 'roleplay', and 'cop an robber scenes', but instead is filed under 'politics'. The Chief of Police in Calgary has obtained a civil court order to confiscate a computer running a website that is critical of the Calgary Police Service. What was on the site? According to the CBC:

Messages on the site said it spoke for officers who had suffered under Beaton's "corrupt" administration.

It stated: "We are the police, the communications officers, the administration staff and other police service members and employees that either have been the victims of tyranny, politics, harassment, bullying, racism, constructive termination, etc., or we know someone who has."

Wow, thats pretty damning, hey? So the response to this is to get the chief of police to get a gag order, and confiscate the website? Say what now? And what do our aldermen have to say about this?

However, Ald. Craig Burrows, who sits on the police commission, says Beaton acted properly.

"I think any time you go after the morale of a service or the morale of a city that takes pride in its service, the chief has a right to act," Burrows said.

Fuck You! It is called freedom of speech. If you don't like what someone has to say, you don't fix the problem by strong arming people with the law. that is what totalitarian regimes do. You fix the problem by A) removing the source of the criticism, and/or B) by proving that the criticism is unfounded through word and deed. This of course, does neither. In fact, it is a public relations disaster really. What it says to me is that police chief Beaton is quite likely corrupt, and so is Craig Burrows, and they cannot handle the criticism, so they do everything in their power to remove it. Now this is not necessarily the case. However that is the first thing that comes to my mind when I read stuff like this.

Another thing. Fuck the "you are either with us, or against us" rhetoric that is going on these days. Seriously.
