Quebec’s police ethics committee has upheld one of two citations of breaching the police ethics code against a Montreal police officer who allegedly made insulting remarks about a Muslim motorist’s religion when he pulled him over one winter morning in 2017.
Montreal Gazette Early on Feb. 6, 2017, as Abdelkrim Rahal was driving south on Papineau Ave., he noticed a patrol car behind him with lights flashing, so he pulled over to the right. The police officer, 25-year SPVM veteran Éric Locas, pulled up beside him and indicated to Rahal that he should pull over, which he did.
Constable Locas got out of his car, approached Rahal’s car and greeted Rahal by saying “Shalom”, a Hebrew word meaning “peace”.
Rahal, who is Muslim, told the police ethics committee he felt targeted by the greeting, adding he did not understand why the police officer would not have simply said “Bonjour” or “Hi”. Rahal asked Constable Locas why he had greeted him like that, and the officer responded that it was just a way to greet someone.
Locas eventually told Rahal he had pulled him over because he did not have his lights on. Rahal explained that he had just turned off his lights because the sun was coming up. The officer responded that it was not daylight yet, and then showed Rahal a weather app on his smartphone, telling him he could check what time sunrise was if he wanted to know.
Rahal felt attacked again, and responded to the officer that he is well aware of what time the sun rises, because he says his prayers at sunrise before leaving the house.
“And then (Officer Locas) said to me, ‘I don’t care about your prayers…’ and then I started to feel the tension rising on his part and honestly, I felt I better stay calm because maybe something was going to happen.”
At the end of their interaction, Rahal asked the officer for his name. Rahal claims Constable Locas then took his name tag off and held it very close to Rahal’s face.
The officer then demanded to know why Rahal had asked for his name. Rahal said that it was in order to make a complaint. Rahal told the committee that Locas replied, “You people, you’re always complaining over nothing.”
Rahal launched a complaint with the SPVM later that day.
Locas was cited on two counts of breaching the police ethics code, one for making insulting comments based on Rahal’s religion, and one for taking actions based on Rahal’s race and religion.
At the police ethics committee hearing, Officer Locas noted that sunrise that day was at 7:09 a.m. and said it was still dark when he stopped Rohal for driving without headlights on.
When asked about his greeting, Locas claimed he often uses the word “Shalom” to mean hello, and that he has been doing so for years with friends, family members and colleagues.
Rather than saying “I don’t care about your prayers,” Locas claims he said something like, “See here, we don’t care about religion.” And Locas claims he did not say, “You people, you’re always complaining over nothing,” but rather “Why, you, do you just want to complain?”
The administrative judge ruled that Locas had breached the police ethics code by saying, “I don’t care about your prayers”. But he did not find Locas guilty on the second citation.
In the judgment, the committee found Locas’s words to be objectively insulting, inappropriate, and showing a lack of consideration toward Rahal.
Watch out Quebec, you are turning into Ontario
Islamists-turning-canada-into-another-caliphate According to the Toronto Sun, Islamic Party of Ontario has already been officially recognized by the Election Commission under Elections Ontario Rules in October 2018 thus clearing the party to participate in any of the elections in the country. The party already has proclaimed Islam as the “native” religion of Ontario.
Website of the Islamic Party of Ontario says, “Qur’an is the latest and final edition of divine books that provides complete guidance to all mankind in all walks of life that include politics and governance under the belief of Supremacy of God. This is the only book of God now that is available in original and complete form without mixing of any human words and errors.
The Government of Cambodia, Mr Hun Sen, was told by the local muslim leader that he wanted the construction noise outside his mosque to stop as it was disturbing their prayers.
Mr Hun Sen,The Prime Minister, told them, “Just close your doors”… THATS how you deal with them.
Europe and North America could learn a lot from Mr Hun Sen.
Cop was right. Muslums are always complaining about nothing. Because they imagine themselves to be superior, and expect to be treated as such.
Fleeing from islam does not improve the situation. Our governments have allowed these enemies in. This is the result. They will totally dominate Canada and eventually they will kill off all Canadians and First Nation peoples as well. The only remedy is mass repatriation of moslems, whether from Europe or North America. That will require a civil war most likely.
In the USA, we had the “McCarran-Walter Act.” This law forbade any “totalitarian” group from entering the USA. However, I don’t think it was ever applied to moslems, although it should have been. In 1992, this law was revoked by witless Democratic Party operatives. This now means that moslems are allowed to hold public office and run for political positions in the USA. They are taking full advantage of us now, swarming into all sorts of powerful jobs.
The first Pennsylvania muslim woman legislator, Movita Johnson-Harrell, was recently convicted of major corruption charges and hopefully will spend the rest of her miserable existence in prison after defrauding various “charities” out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions. This is the kind of “diverse” citizenry and representation we end up with. Really pathetic.
The unholy queer’an consists of antimatter universe scribbling and errors/horrors ! SS/Shariah supremacy is ideology and never a religion – a reason Adolph Hitler loved it and islamists call Hitler their second greatest man.
This makes me so angry. Im fuming. Canada is now the same as the UK.
Constantly bowing down to the scum of pisslam.
I just want to scream.
Ive stopped going to my local shopping centre because its crawling with mudscum filth with
their parking & driving “skills”.
I travel farther afield to less infested areas.
Theres a real arrogance about them & thats because of idiotic shits like this arsehole “judge”.
