A Toronto cop stole her dead sister’s credit card. The wait for justice was ‘maddening’

[shockedcanadian]

Four years later. Cop is still getting paid as the system purposely and slowly milks the legal fees his overfunded government union provides.

You want to know why no one trusts Canada? Look no further than the TPS, OPP, RCMP et al...

Imagine for a moment if your family members were the victim of a horrendous crime. The police show up and decide it is a great moment to commit ANOTHER crime against the now deceased. If he gets caught, no problem, his legal fees are covered and he is paid IN FULL for another four years.

This is the Soviet-style system that Americans defend and some even want?!

A Toronto cop stole her dead sister’s credit card. The wait for justice was ‘maddening’

Lisa Lawler is convinced that other grieving families have been victims of similar thefts without their knowledge.

Lucinda Lawler painted with the precision of a mathematician, cared for her husband throughout his battle with Alzheimer’s and was known by those closest to her as an independent thinker.

Years after her death, when photos of her driver’s licence and missing credit card were found on the phone of a Toronto police officer, her family realized that she was also the victim of a shocking crime.

On Wednesday, Ontario Court Judge Mary Misener found Const. Boris Borissov guilty of a litany of charges, including stealing credit cards from Lawler and another dead man from whom he also stole a luxury watch.


n all, Lawler’s family has waited nearly four years for justice — something they were unsure would ever come.

“It is maddening that it took so long,” said Lisa Lawler, Lucinda’s youngest sister.

It's the same in the states, a local cop was suspended for posting something racial on Facebook, he fought the suspension, of course, and 5 years later, he was forced to retire with a Cadillac pension.

Over the course of those 5 years he was suspended, he was paid his full salary, with overtime he missed out on, and made over 6 figures for each of those 5 years.

Which Soviet admiring state allowed that to occur?

It doesn't matter what state, every police union in the country would make such a thing possible in every state.

Police and firefighter unions are so bloated with cash that they are literally bankrupting city budgets that fund them. The pensions that continue to rise over time considering most can retire after 20 years is what does it.

It DOES matter which state.

I'm guessing New York at probably 75% chance, California at 20% chance and all other states 5% chance.

Among the many "Corrupt acts" police notoriously engage in:

Theft and burglary is when an officer or department steals from a suspect, victim or corpse. Examples are taking drugs for personal use in a drug bust, and taking personal objects from a corpse at the scene of a crime. A theft can also occur within a department. An officer can steal property from the department's evidence room or property room for personal use.

Corruption occurs both with unions and without.
