There are a lot of people who think it's OK for this guy to post his sexual exploits on the web. I STRONGLY disagree. If he wan'ts to engage in bondage, that's fine, just don't post it on the web you dim wit.

Police officers should be held to a higher standard. Fire this idiot, he is giving the force a bad name.
 
is he doing anything that is against the law?
if not then

ZERO FUCKS GIVEN

This. Trying to control his personal life sets a horrible precedent. You like bowling in your free time? Sorry, we can't hire you. We noticed you drive a Ford, so we'll just go ahead and fire you for that. Your wife was terrible in bed; I am demoting you until she knows how to suck a dick properly.
 
RCMP's are more than just simple police though, arent they? Like local cops, state troopers, and FBI rolled into one. I would think they are held to a higher standard than regular citizens. But the only thing I know about mounties comes from Due South.

If he is going to post that stuff online, he should be investigated, as he has questionable judgement. Shouldnt be fired, but just make sure he is doing is job in a rational fashion.

As you said, RCMP are basically like the FBI and state troopers, but on a federal level. They handle federal investigations, and they act as police in small towns that don't have police.

They also handle crime on Indian land, which is stupid because that's sort of like giving the middle finger to Indians. "Sure we'll give you self-governance, but we'll still send our federal police on your land just for the lolz."
It would be like if Canada could get away with having no police and we used the FBI as local police. We have self-governance, but these guys from the US can still come in here and they have full authority. Mind boggling. Indians should have their own police. They would be so hilariously bad at it that someone could make a reality TV show that follows them around.
edit: It would actually be a lot like that show Cops. The kind of shit in the ghetto is exactly what Indian reservations are like.

Wouldn't you rather your Mountie had experience with knots the next time Snidely Whiplash ties some poor lass to the railroad tracks?
 
In my dyslexia I read the title as RHCP and was trying to figure out why it was such a problem if the Red Hot Chili Peppers were posting sexually suggestive stuff.

I mean, don't they always?

Disagree. Fire all police.

Welcome to law enforcement....life in a fishbowl.
 
I'm one that strongly believes private affairs should be private, but did you guys read the article about the type of bondage he was simulating? They apparently were assaults on women and stuff. That's a bit of a conflict with his job.
 
Eh, whatever. In my mind there's a strong case for him posting this publicly as he's effectively immune from being blackmailed about it at that point; if he kept this all a secret that would be a possibility.

How is it an assault if it's consensual?

SIMULATING being the key word.

How is that a conflict? That's like saying me playing COD is a conflict with my job, because it's simulated mass slaughter and well, as a cop I should not be mass slaughtering anyone.
 
I'd like to suggest that public image is an important part of a job.

After CBC News asked the RCMP if Brown was under investigation, Supt. Ray Bernoties replied on June 27 that Brown's involvement with the website, “was deemed to be adult consensual activity during which the implicated officer was not representing himself as a member of the RCMP, thus it did not meet the threshold for a code of conduct investigation."

It shouldn't be an issue.

There's an excellent comment posted under the article:
I am an educated young professional woman (well adjusted with a good family background too!) who engages in bdsm activities much like that portrayed in your article for this officer. This reporting is extraordinarily biased and poorly researched. Consensual bdsm acts are not degrading to women. The specific acts can be towards women, men, everyone who chooses to seek it out and consent to receive it. On the flipside, the role play also permits women to be dominant, but also men and everyone in between.

The media persecution of this poor constable - your article, your coverage, show me that I have a lot to hide, that I can't ever be comfortable in my skin, because any minute, if it comes out, I can be shamed and judged blindly. That's what real degradation is. No safe words, no consent, all reality. This is perhaps a familiar path that's been travelled down by gay rights activists.

Your reporting was in a manner that was not right or moral and provoked some of the more aggressive actions against the constable. This leaves me with a profound sadness to my own sense of security and well-being. I hope you will follow up in this reporting with a more balanced coverage and repair however you can, the tatters which you've left of this constable's reputation, and yours.
