A man who was illegally detained by the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary and housed for six days at a psychiatric unit against his will in 2015 is determined to bring his case to a public hearing.
Then, on April 5, 2015 — Easter Sunday — Smyth, a member of the premier’s security detail, shot and killed Don Dunphy in his home in Mitchell’s Brook, about 45 minutes outside St. John’s.
The Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal issued a ringing defence of political dissent, and found that a lower-court judge was wrong to dismiss Abbass’s application to challenge his detention.
Temitope Oriola, a criminology professor at the University of Alberta, says internal cases against police officers should be completed within a year, in order to maintain public trust.
In this case, that would include a criminal investigation of Buckle by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team — the details of which were never made public, with charges never laid — and Abbass’s matter before the provincial Court of Appeal.
Oriola began researching police misconduct under the lens of excessive force but said he believes the text messages between Buckle and Smyth should not be downplayed in the broader spectrum of possible wrongdoing.

I haven’t seen so many disjoint ideas without it being followed by ‘Trump 2024’. Go home, bot: you’re drunk.
