Simply Amazing Charles,

It wasn’t until I read a few of the latest comments by some of you contributors that I became aware of the “Paid Duty” aspect of what happens at the legislature. I checked into this for accuracy and sure enough.

I had been wondering how it was that the Sergeant at Arms Dan Bussieres, had that much power over these police officers. The officers all appeared to be running and jumping like, “petit marionette.” I hadn’t really seen police officers do that before. “For such trivial matters as Charles’s existence on a piece of public property, when he really wasn’t doing anything other than clearly blogging / reporting news.” For a police officer to be enforcing a property ban, whether it was legitimate or not, seemed a trivial thing to be doing when Charles wasn’t doing anything. He wasn’t harassing any public servants. On every one of these encounters he was trying to capture a story from an MLA, so he could blog to the issue at hand. I now see why. If someone is prepared to pay off duty wages to hang around and chase away Charles, then I guess that’s why Charles has been confronted so affirmatively.

For the police officer the extra cash is great. That would be a nice “paid duty”. But it’s when the paid duty becomes a public disgrace for public viewing, like in the cases when Charles videos his encounters, that’s when the paid duty becomes something else altogether. (Nightmare)

The scenario will be on the Chief’s desk before morning. That’s the first thing the Chief does. He wants to know what happened over night that he is going to have to answer for. He needs this matter looked into and a briefing prepared so he can answer for it. This means the officer involved has to be brought in and questioned, and depending on the circumstances, the officer feels the pressure associated to the situation immediately.

For Officer Fred L’Ouiseau that nightmare came when he had to answer to the Chief, or at least the Deputy as to why he confronted Charles to the extent he did. He had identified himself as a police officer for Fredericton and of course the Blogged video shows the rest. (Chief wants answers) (No fun for the officer).... It doesn’t matter who is at fault here... The Fredericton Police Force have to wear the EGG, and shit flows downhill.

Let’s move on to the bicycle caper. >>>>>

Of course Police Officer Fred L’Ouiseau was calm and appeared professional. He was the instigator and he knew he was on video. He was getting his pound of flesh. Nobody said that Fred L'Ouiseau was a dummy. Far from it. He's no doubt cagier than a fox. But he's a punk for doing what he did, when he was obviously doing something else more important. He had responded with three other cruisers to another issue of no doubt more importance. He saw his victim. He also knows that Charles has issues with ADHD, and knows this is likely to set Charles off. Only punks do that, and of course if you were in a school yard you would be called a bully....

What I was surprised with, is that Charles managed not to do anything other than to run off at the mouth. He somehow regained his composure to some degree, and didn't get hauled in for disturbance. I'm pleased he didn't, but the fact is that the police bully had already gotten his pound of flesh (ticket) and he was happy inside.

Officer Fred L’Ouiseau had a good day that day, or at least for the moment. The Chief is going to see that blog and he isn’t going to be happy. I know what the Chief is going to say, and so do the rest of you. Here is the CHIEF.... “Why would you get yourself into a confrontation with Charles Leblanc, knowing full well he is going to make us look bad....”Real Bad”. And for what, “a bicycle infraction”, a municipal by-law violation.”

The Chief would be pulling his hair out.........LOL

Then we have the blow horn caper. The Fredericton City Police were not going to do a darn thing until the complaints came in from across the street and they had to act. That’s why they bargained with you Charles. I don’t think they were really trying to put you away. It all looked bad, when you ended up spending a few days for that one, but at least they made up for it when they helped you out with the plea bargain. That’s not a matter to appeal. That’s a situation that you should thank your lucky stars. It’s now over and you got nothing.

The next issue is where you have the right to stomp your feet and more and I’m glad you have.

Right or wrong, I believe a pattern has developed, that the Fredericton City Police are going to have to apologize for.

They have allowed the emotions of one of their officer's to boil over and create this mess. He is the person who lodged a complaint against Charles. Without his complaint they wouldn’t have gone near you. It obviously wasn’t looking good for the police officer, who had to explain his foolishness to the CHIEF at least twice now.... He's pissed now.

Freddy olde boy has no doubt been blaming this whole thing on Charles and has been stomping up and down that he was called a ??????, a quebecquois, a facist and a gestapo, but is totally unprepared to take any heat for his actions. That’s the behaviour of a school yard bully.

He got off on the complaint that was made by Charles that he .... Charles in the ....., but he knows this is going to come back up in court on traffic ticket day....

Now... How does Officer Freddy L'Oiseau have that much clout over the FPF for them to pull last weeks escapade???.... I’m not sure what the answer for that one is, but it’s there. Common sense says it has to be. Did the CHIEF not know or was he away.....??? One thing is for sure, he has been answering for it ever since.

For the Chief , it would be “no backing down now troops. Half of his police force was involved in this faux pas and we look like hell.

That is an answer for the courts I guess... Over zealous police forces or police officers are crucified in the courts on matters like this and the Dept of Justice knows that.

Do they think all of the evidence won't come out? The police may think they can compartmentalize these issues, but the truth is everything will come out and regardless of how and what Charles looks like, the police look just as bad. They are the ones in authority and clearly they have bullied Charles this last few time. It’s on tape. The complaint doesn’t lye. It was L’Oiseau that lodged the complaint.

Not a good case to take to court, I assure you, and on the balance of probability as to conviction the DOJ will shut this down, if they haven't already.....

I know they don't run the investigations but they don't like the bad publicity.

They will likely wait until April for the court date to arrive and then try and plea bargain with Charles.. "But not this time"...

The Fredericton Police can recover from this, I’m certain. They need only stop what they are doing. They need to conclude this matter as unfounded, just like they did with Charles’ complaint of getting kneed in the ....... They need to look Officer L’Oiseau in the face and set him straight on the facts of real life. If they don’t do it today, how are they ever going to control this officer in the future. They don’t have to tell anyone how they dealt with their employee. They just need to conclude this right now. Court Day will be too late....... more later......
