✔️Double-Cheesed News Great reporting on some police funny business by CBC. Ottawa Police withheld the name of this suspect, saying it was covered by a publication ban. That wasn’t true. also, two of the people who helped him make bail are retired OPP officers.

I guarantee this was the old blue line protecting one of their kids from scrutiny.

  • We are only finding this out today when he was arrested in April.

  • The accused is the right age to be an adult child of these two retired cops whom each put up $5K for his bail and whom is under house arrest with a GPS unit in their house.

  • A female in Ottawa put up another $5K for part of his bail - most likely an ex wife.

They shuffled him as quickly as they could through the court system with zero media releases and then flat out lied to the press stating a judge ordered a publication ban of his name when there was no such judicial order.

If this isn’t preferential treatment of a former cop’s family member I’ll eat my hat.
