Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Why is that woman wearing a bouquet of flowers? Is this now the fashion in Milwaukee?
Bravo….Bravo!
After dealing with gangbangers 365 24/7 ; I’m sure it gets a little exasperating when you have to deal with media wankers and PC claptrap; and then clean up five year old murder scene with head shots.
Yeah, ‘capping’ 5 year olds, sitting on their grandfather’s lap, really shows what a ‘man’ you are, for the purposes of gang initiation.
The thin veneer of ‘civilization’ appears a little ragged in Milwaukee today; not to mention a God-damned disgrace. SICKENING…

Obama meets with the community agitators and tells them to “stay the course”.
Foment unrest, invoke martial law, take the US from democracy to communism.
There will be blood.
Obama won’r go down in history as the worst President. He’ll go down in history as the 1st President to be the enemy of the country.
This is the only manner for the Police Authority to maintain effectiveness in the fight against the Progressive Agenda to demonize the Police in every cross-racial situation.
Bless you Chief! By the way, if in your Internet stroll today y’all come across an article on the reasons why the French men are joining the ISIS rampage/atrocities read something besides the sub-headlines. The article provides statistics the parents of these young men are between 80-90% atheists.
Whether you believe there is a higher calling for human beings than other sentient beings or not, one has to believe civilization cannot advance with a Politicized Progressive Agenda as the prime directive.
Yes,the first President who HATES America and everything it stands for.
Have to agree with that cop, agitators shoot their big mouths of with the intent only of grabbing their 15 minutes of fame,and don’t give a damn about the real problem.
It’s too bad the cop didn’t mention that the 80% of A-A’s shot were done in by other A-A’s.
I think its Carmen Miranda , but for modern days you cant put fruit in your hat without offending the LBGT community.
Obama won’t go down in history as the worst President. He’ll go down in history as the 1st President to be the enemy of
the countrycivilization.The only sadder bunch of @sswipes is the Nobel committee that awarded him a “peace” prize, just for voting “present”.
And the only message the progressives will take from the video is “something has to be done about those high capacity firearms”
I haven’t met to many Police I respect lately, but I like this guy. A far cry from the ticket clickers and Chief bend over backwards for a prog city council that we have in Calgary.
We could use this kind of a man in the Burnaby police force who seem frightened of a bunch of dope smokin’ hippies and unemployable natives trying to stop a lot of working men and women from surveying for a pipeline to the refinery in the burg.
when the socialists rewrite the history books he may go down as the first president of the peoples Republic of the U.S.A.

100% of muslim terrorists believe in a higher being. The French “atheists” weren’t butchering each other, cutting heads off, stoning women, shooting unarmed citizens or crucifying those they didn’t like were they? They only did this when they started to believe in a higher power like allah.
2:15: “… high capacity, quality firearms… ”
Pity, you were doing quite well until that moment chief. Well you are a cop after all so expectations weren’t the highest, but still, for a cop this was pretty good. Too bad you just could not resists your usual call …
Oh and you forgot to incorporate the word “assault” into that sentence.
I exercised my inalienable Right to White Flight out of the Liberal cesspits years ago.
He should do the same.
Well Whitey…it’s time to call their bluff – publicly.
If blacks don’t want whites protecting their hoods, then only blacks should be allowed to do it! In short order you would have THEM screaming about racism because they would be taking far more risks patrolling their own neighbourhoods than Whitey’s.
The libertarian wanks scream about the militarization of the police, about SWAT raids at the wrong address, and complain about everything the cops do to. My advice to the cops today is this – QUIT. Turn in your badge, your gun, clean out your locker – and walk away. Retired cops I know have forbidden their children from following in their footsteps and becoming cops – and I think they are right to do so.
When Obama’s children chimp out in Ferguson – let them clean up their own mess. As one of my favourite bloggers likes to say – we shoulda picked our own damn cotton.
“… high capacity, quality firearms… ”
Let me finish that quote from the chief for you: “…in the hands of remorseless criminals who don’t care who they shoot.”
Please tell us exactly what your problem is with this frank and refreshingly honest statement.
Yes the Chief was speaking honestly, as gangs have unfortunately progressed well beyond the day of the Saturday Night Special (cheap revolvers) and do now have access to “high capacity, quality firearms…” I took no offence in his statement, he was stating the current reality of what his officers face day to day.
I saw a few tweets last night on how some of the so called “journalists” in Ferguson are padding their social media profiles by using their Ferguson reporting. The more bang-bang, the bigger the reporting brag, so fomenting outrage by the citizens is of value to the reporters. They no longer report the news, they are trying to create it.
“They no longer report the news, they are trying to create it.”
of course they don’t report news, they didn’t 50 years ago, why would they start now?
My problem is this is the guy who denounced the Milwaukee County Sheriff who frankly declared, that when seconds count,the police are only minutes away. Then he recommended the public to by a firearm and learn how to use it. This DemonRAT, anti-gun, police chief went ballistic…so did Piers Morgan.
The Sheriff is elected and the chief is appointed…..
Bu…Bu…But! How can this police commissioner (chief?) or whatever be at fault? lHe has 4 stars on his epaulet. He is in command of more police heroes than Patton, Bradley, Spruance, Buckner, puller. It never ceases to amaze me that these two bit towns, in a proxysm of self aggrandisement promote their chiefs using higher ranks than Corp and Army commanders, commanding up to a million combat soldiers. These two bit politicians think they are more heroic than Lee, Grant, Washington, etc. The people of those hamlets, too small minded to call them towns or cities, should laugh and point at these clowns.
We need a national standard designating command status and rank among our heroic local constabularies. One exception, the lowest rank for a chief level should be a captain, merely, as in the Navy, designating who is in charge. (captain bine level O-3 not O-6.)
“We need a national standard designating command status and rank among our heroic local constabularies.”
The four stars certainly are misleading for anyone with a US military background. Milwaukee seems to be following the same pattern on police rank as many other US jurisdictions. Above captain (two gold bars), the three next senior police ranks which would correspond to major, lieutenant-colonel and colonel aren’t indicated in the manner you might assume (i.e., gold oak leaf, silver oak leaf, silver eagle); these ranks are indicated by one, two and three gold stars respectively.
The chief has four gold stars but his approximate parallel US Army rank is brigadier-general (one sliver star).
Seen this way, the chief’s rank seems quite appropriate for a force of 1300 uniformed personnel.
I doubt you will ever get all US federal, state and municipal law enforcement agencies and departments to agree on common rank insignia. Nor should you expect to.
Brilliant ! Absolutely Brilliant ! Our country is DESPERATE for this kind of unvarnished PUSH BACK against the race-baiting leftists who are controlling the conversation. ENOUGH ! PS … wanna bet this guy is put under some sort of “internal investigation” … or is summarily FIRED ? You know, like Obama has done throughout the US Military ?
Wow! Last time I heard straight, honest talk like this from a police leader was at Caledonia.
Right?
Remember?
No, eh?
Right on!
No she doesn’t speak Portuguese. She’s just a fruit case head.
The intent of the comment was the parents of the young men joining ISIS did not or could not provide a sense of Humanity to their sons. The resultant is a seeking a base of belonging offered with the constant propaganda from the Islamic Jihad recruiters.
This next comment will also put you over the top. The Progressive screed, which has been the propaganda for almost a century now, of the number of lives lost because of religion is a false narrative. Even a slight investigation of the facts will reveal the driving force of all major massacres and atrocities is political domination
Please do not use the Inquisition as a measure of religious massacre the unfortunate number of executions is less than 3,000 people. This is not a significant comparison with the tens of millions killed in the twentieth century through the political wars of attrition.
A short quotation may be of assistance to your understanding;
“When God is abolished the Government becomes God”-G.K. Chesterton.
By what he says I’m not sure the Chief has a problem with law abiding citizens owning firearms, just criminals, but he sure told the MSM in a round about way what he thinks of them. So good for the Chief. Too bad we do not have any chief in Canada with brass ones like that. Ours are PC political milksops.
Chesterton had it right and well said. Just look at the mess our western countries are becoming. The atheist leaders of the 20th century have killed many times more than all the religious disputes over the last 2,000 years. And don’t anyone tell me that Hitler was a Catholic. He was born Catholic and Stalin was born Orthodox, Mao, probably Buddhist, but they all renounced the faith of their parents and either flogged atheism or as in the case of Herr Snurbart, some ancient Norse nonsense.
Getting dam tired of the ignorant moral equivalency garbage.
“Please tell us exactly what your problem is with this frank and refreshingly honest statement.”
First read the comment from sasquatch.
If you need more details see here: http://www.wnd.com/2013/03/gun-control-battle-pits-sheriff-vs-police-chief/
and here:
http://www.wisn.com/news/south-east-wisconsin/milwaukee/Chief-sheriff-trade-barbs-over-gun-control/19116966
So excuse the ringing of my BS detector when he starts blabbering about “high capacity quality firearms” I know well where this conversation is heading.
Finally he is full of $hit. Overwhelming majority of shootings, including gang shootings do not involve anything that could be described as “high capacity” those statistics are well know and easy to verify.
“My message to my troops is if you see anybody carrying a gun on the streets of Milwaukee, we’ll put them on the ground, take the gun away and then decide whether you have a right to carry it.” ~ Your hero, the refreshingly frank police chief.
Just another jackbooted thug with no credibility.
Good to hear.
Of course here will be a few that parse his statement to discredit him, but they should be ignored the same as they ignore the reality of black on black crime,or the “missing and murdered” native women here in Canada.
More here, your darling has a well established record of contempt for the second amendment, especially the dreaded assault weapons:
http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/flynn-makes-spirited-call-for-assault-weapons-ban-sj8v36f-193705331.html
http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2013/mar/11/edward-flynn/milwaukee-police-chief-edward-flynn-says-use-assau/
And 99% of his goons voted “no confidence” in their precious chief:
http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/no-confidence-vote-in-milwaukee-chief-flynn-nearly-100-b99381927z1-281078832.html
granted, the last one goes both ways … but a lot here trust the rank and file and believe the problem is with chiefs only. Well, here is the vote of rank and file for you.
Or the fact that blacks commits more crimes against whites than blacks.
Ken, you and Mike really need to learn math (context). The amount of deaths “caused” by religion is not documented, and context of such deaths is even more obscure, but in that even kristians will admit that kristianity has changed is an admission that it needed changing, and the needless deaths (witch burning being just one example)are even morally worst than the lefties slaughter in that the church represented “God’s” will and should have protected God’s ppl, and not slaughtered them
The passion, whether real or put-on was impressive but the battle he referred to is a symptom of the results of LBJ’s Great Society, a situation that “better policing” can do little to change. They arrive after the crime and unless they literally garrison the Black urban ghetto population they will have little impact on prevention. This guy’s job is 90% politics and he obviously appeals to the law and order crowd.
Well he himself clearly doe not appeal to the law and order crowd: http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/no-confidence-vote-in-milwaukee-chief-flynn-nearly-100-b99381927z1-281078832.html
can any canuck comprehende’ the difference between the the Winnipeg teen sexual assault victim’s public statements and the “alleged impropriety” to the Liberal MP’s by the NDP MPs?
yeah thought so.
Damn right!
The heroic words of Julian Fantino will live with us forever!
And McGuinty was positively Churchillian!
Where are the great Leader of today? Ontario.
You’re conflating union solidarity over “one of their own” being fired for a public (most commentators above) sympathetic to a tough-talking police chief.
I keep hearing in similar discussions that the rank and file are the good guys and that the problem is with the chiefs. These opinions are often expressed by the law and order crowd. Personally, I think these arguments are BS, and that all blue boys are worth each other. However here, it appears that the rank and file are not very impressed with their chief, yet the law and order guys are singing hosannas, funny that.
This guy may or may not be a good Police Chief, but for a moment he spoke well, and from the heart. Notwithstanding the firearms comment I support what he said and the passion with which he said it.
