I'd attempt to respond but: a) I'm not really sure what you're trying to say; b) I tend to default dismiss any point that includes "always" or "100%" or "but everyone thinks...."; and c) your somewhat muddled response also seems rather "broad-brush."beachdown said:....not many people actually like to believe that there are racist cops out there (here in Canada). The argument is always..this is a US centric behaviour and that cops in Canada are well trained and intelligent.
beachdown said:Why then when there is a blatant racist attack/behaviour on a minority group, don't majority of White people speak out in support of the minority group that is being wronged? Don't you think if we adopt the attitude of ' we won't tolerate this behaviour', that we might start to see changes?
People jump on the case of Black lives matter folks, but I honestly think if the majority i.e. Whites join in with the cause, then society as a whole might just change its attitude towards all groups e.g. LGBT and other minorities
Yup. The same group that finds white privilege in expensive (white) toilet paper and skin coloured band aids.beachdown said:I guess the group must be thinking....what will someone that has the white privilege going for them know about what minorities face on a daily basis ???

Bruce Monkhouse said:The other thing is perception..............according to some people I probably "sexually assaulted" about 25 women while waiting for my Daughter at a Hamilton mall tonight. :
Olivia’s assailant sat on top of her for about 20 minutes. When he finally stood up, she moved to the couch. He followed, trying to kiss her and pull her on top of him. She was sure he would rape her, but eventually, after more struggle, he left. The moment the door banged shut, Olivia fell to the floor, sobbing. She walked to the bathroom and stared in the mirror, brushed her teeth harder than she ever had, as if to erase something. The next morning, Olivia took a long drive through the park’s sand dunes and salt flats with a friend, who convinced her to tell park administrators what happened. She went to the park’s chief ranger and described the incident in detail. He jotted down notes and told her that she had a choice: She could either press charges, or let the park handle it internally.
Unaware that there was a formal complaint process, Olivia said that the park could handle it, and left. Two days later, her supervisor, her alleged assailant’s supervisor and the park’s chief of interpretation—another high-level employee—asked her to recount the incident for the third time. Afterwards, the chief of interpretation told her they had talked to her alleged assailant. It was all just a “misunderstanding,” he said, and he would not move forward with her case.
The park did agree to transfer the man to another dorm, but it took nearly a week for supervisors to act, and on the day he was supposed to leave, she found him in the dorm kitchen, eating cereal. She thought she would collapse. When he finally did move, it was to the dorm across the parking lot.
Days later, according to documents obtained through a Freedom of Information request, Olivia’s supervisor emailed the chief of interpretation to tell him another intern had concerns about the same young man. He responded: “Thanks for ... trying to keep the rumors from really taking off. I’m glad to hear [Olivia] is getting back into a better frame of mind, but I hope [she] is not creating an uncomfortable environment for [him] if it is not warranted. Something to watch out for.”

You do know that the "C" in the thread's title (Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF) means "Canadian," right?

THANK YOU to the thousands of men that I have worked with throughout my service in the RCN, the RCAF, SOF, Joint and the Cdn Army for treating me with nothing but dignity and respect. And to my fellow women too.
Heads high gentlemen as I realize that I do not work each day with a bunch of sexual predators. As with every segment of society, thoy would be the very rare (and never for me) exception and not the rule.
I'm not into tarring and feathering and entire ***insert whatever group here*** based on the actions of some assholes. Every ***insert group here*** has it's select group of assholes.
I would have figured the need to point out this happens in Canada too was moot considering the nature of this thread and the numerous posts and examples there in.beachdown said:Lets not kid ourselves...this sort of behaviour happens here in Canada too. It's despicable that any human should be subjected to such an act...from the article

mariomike said:Not that it makes the allegations any less serious, but it was a civilian member.
ArmyVern said:I believe that a single sexual assault within the CAF of a team-mate upon a team-mate is one too many. We are meant to protect the downtrodden and the weak. How can we protect them if we can't protect our own?
beachdown said:OK, but like you said, a sexual assault is an assault regardless of if the victim works for the private or public sector.
