THE
CANADIAN CONSTABULARY
THE
BASTARDS AT FAULT
OR
COPS
THE
Corps Of Prejudiced Sadists
More and
more, every day, control of the Law and Order governing the people of Canada is increasingly being usurped by
the collective Canadian Police Forces. The average cop has become a personal
threat to, and someone to be feared by every individual he confronts. No longer
does he Serve and Protect the public: he now serves his masters and Protects
his fellow Cops.
The Cop in
your face wasn’t born that way: He was born smart; he was probably a good guy
until he absorbed the mental and physical brainwashing of his training. He
looks decent enough even now. What could have ground and molded him into this
hostile enemy at the gate? Who was he and what turned the soul sour? That is a
long story but we can we can place the fault directly on the training and
regimen of:
THE CANADIAN CONSTABULARY
The Cop Mold Process
Believe it
or not, once upon a time all the Cops who are stamping on our civil and legal
rights were the good guys of their generation when it came to the NICE Index! They are part of the top 2%
of applicants who manage to pass the entrance exam and be accepted into the
Force
In order to
become a cop an applicant has to pass an entrance examination that is more or
less the equivalent of an assessment by three Psychological Tests
1. California Personality Inventory (CPI),
2. The Sixteen Personality
Factor Questionnaire Scales (16P), and
3. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality
Inventory (MMPI)
When used to assess police candidates, analysts
developed a
"Typical Cop" profile group with group members found to be:
1.
self-disciplined,
2.
socially bold,
3.
extroverted,
4.
emotionally tough, and
5.
Low in experienced anxiety.
They also ranked significantly higher on
scales of:
6.
"Poise and self-assurance,
7.
achievement potential,
8.
intellectual efficiency,
9.
social insight, and
10.
To be more likely to seek social contact than
the control group.”
By any
standards this pool of young recruits is an ideal base for any training program
and is the cream of the crop. Instead of a positive blossoming to butter the
sour cream churned turns rotten. There’s obviously something wrong with the
churn: what’s wrong with it?
Constabulary, as I use it, is an organizational
structure designed to enforce order in the ranks of a semi-military force. It
was developed by the British Army around the time of the Crimean war in the
Mid-1800’s and was returned to Britain and created the structure of the Metropolitan
Police Force under Sir Robert Peel. Law enforcement officers work in a
quasi-military, structured institution. There are mental health concerns
associated with working within a "quasi-military structure" and other
mental health concerns of working in an "institution."
Military
organizations require the sacrifice of the individual for the good of society.
The "individual" is not a consideration; the "goal" of the
group is paramount. In a military organization, the focus is on punishing the
individual if he is not up to standards. It is a de-humanizing process to
recognize that you are only valued as a part of a machine.
The
“institution' takes the same attitude, only a step further. In an institution,
you are locked in a set process and the process is more important many times
than, not only the individual, but also the goal. When an officer does a
remarkable job of police work, perhaps even saves a life, he can still be
reprimanded if he doesn't file the proper paperwork. The paperwork describing
an action in many cases is more important to the institution than the action
itself. Both the quasi-military nature of police work and the functioning
within an institution combine for a mental health situation that is quite
undesirable and very stressful. The training academy of the Police Force he is
joining is the churn.
This is the
recruit’s first introduction to a Constabulary: a Constabulary is a
quasi-military, structured institution. Military organizations require the
sacrifice of the individual for the good of society. The "individual"
is not a consideration; the "goal" of the group is paramount.
In an
institution conforming to procedures is paramount and the paperwork describing
an action in many cases is more important to the institution than the action itself.
No gray areas. The law enforcement officer works in a fact-based world with
everything compared to written law. Right and wrong is determined by a
standard. They have a set way of going about gathering the proper evidence for
the law and can justify their actions because they represent the "good and
right”
The first
step in this character transformation process is to isolate the individual from
all contact with outside society and force him to adjust to his brother police
officers for all social contact. ) They are isolated. The wearing of a
badge, uniform and gun makes a law officer separate from society. The wearing
of a uniform will tend to make any person de-humanize people who are without a
uniform. Just wearing a badge or a gun can cause people to act more aggressively. You are encouraged to feel like you’re a
member of an elite group: the top 2%.This is the beginning of inclusion as part
of the Blue Brotherhood and police training especially is designed to strip the
individual's previous identity and "make" a police officer.
People deal
with them differently and treat them differently, even when they are not
working. The police uniform, badge and
gun are universal symbols of power and authority. When the
individual puts on the uniform, he assumes the authority that goes with it. He
expects and commands obedience and respect from the public. Donning the uniform
and wielding the power of the job contribute to what is known as the
"police personality" and the Us versus Them problems that develop from
this intensive brainwashing.
An officer doing shift work never gets a chance to stay on a schedule. This upsets his physical and mental balance in life. The changing work schedule also upsets the routine patterns that are needed in healthy marriage and family development. Strong marital and family development is based on rituals, like dinners together, "inside jokes," repeated activities, etc. The rotating shift worker has less chance to develop these rituals and his relationships suffer. This predisposes the officer's family to potential problems ranging from divorces, to children acting-out.
The
recruit’s new "at work" world is very negative. He sees the bad part
of society and even the stress is different. Cops have a different kind of
stress in their jobs, called "burst stress". At any time in the
course of a shift there can be a call with an indication of violence. The
officer gets an adrenalin rush with the perception of danger and there is the
inevitable “fight or flight” reaction. There may be no danger but that
knowledge follows the mental and physical arousal of the reaction. Cops have a
job that requires extreme restraint under highly emotional circumstances and
they require special training to adjust to a completely different world with a
whole new set of survival tools.
Almost all
cops age too quickly, see too much pain and suffering, lose trust in almost
everyone (because EVERYONE lies to the police), and lose their social
grounding. In addition to the work there is the pressure to do it right and
conform to the institutional rules fof documentation in addition to learning
Chapter and verse of a bewildering variety of laws to be enforced. This happens
in the first several years of employment and is accompanied by a progressive
disillusionment with society that has to be replaced with a new social circle
with members who can be trusted.
The Constabulary has this all under control
with the assignment of the recruit to a more senior member as a partner on
patrol. This is his mentor in survival: both on the job and off but most
importantly how to conform to the completely new society he has been thrust
into without his consent. He is now a member of the Blue Brotherhood and he now
learns the rules and regulations that will determine his long term survival in
a hostile environment like the Constabulary he joined.
Within the
course of the first two years after his training and indoctrination is complete,
the recruit has had enough experience with both Constabulary and the members of
the Brotherhood to make a final judgement of his choice of a career as a Law
Officer.
To remain
is to abandon all his previous life and connection to Canadian Society and join
his new found officer friends in a society that will protect him and provide
guidance for a lifetime career. It is a leap into the “Us” and “Them” mentality
and with the support of the Brotherhood there is no deterrent for any violation
of the law that he might perform in the course of his duties: Job security
above all else.
The Police
Officer knocking on your door right now has made the decision to remain a
Police Officer and join his new Society- the Blue Brotherhood. As a career
decision that is probably a wise choice but by doing so he swears an oath to
obey the rules of the Society in exchange for his comrades’ support if he makes
a mistake in the course of his duties, or even in his off hours. Unfortunately
the rules of the Brotherhood have expanded to cover not only the Arbitrary
Discipline rendered by the Constabulary they work for, but have been perverted
to avoid any responsibility for ignoring and violating the accepted laws of
Canadian Society.
That is the
subject of my next post in this series:
