It's time to find out...
If Julian Fantino is still a cop... or just a politician with a pretty uniform.
The Caledonia home builder beaten unconscious during a confrontation at a Stirling South subdivision told family today that he recognized his attacker.Apparently Gualtieri has lived in the area for decades and worked extensively on the native reserve... so this development should make this a pretty straightforward operation for the local gendarmes.
“I know who he is,” Sam Gualtieri told his brother Joe from his hospital bed today.
Strangely, that's not the way the OPP sees things.
OPP Sergeant Dave Rektor said no arrests had yet been made in the assault but that investigators were working "diligently".Apparently there were police officers on site when the assault took place... but again, for some unexplained reason... they were unable to arrest the natives who beat Gualtieri senseless.
"Several native protesters remained at the subdivision and were demonstrating peacefully", he added.
Let's see what happens next.

Maybe officers were just too busy answering the "feuhn", or looking for that darn "minkee."**********
LAST WORD: OPP stops, drops and rolls
"We were looking the other way", say cops.
OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino's office was contacted by The Spectator to speak to the events.
A spokesperson said Fantino is on vacation outside the country and is unavailable for comment.

Are there any real police forces that could arrest these guys? Local police or the RCMP? Animal Control?
I wonder if they have to get approval from Dalton before they make an arrest?

i actually have some sympathy for the front-line opp squaddies here.
there is obviously, despite the hypocritical liberal screaming about mike harris and ipperwash, some direction being handed down the chain of command here.
the line cops know they will be in deep career dogshit if they intervene against the natives in any significant way.
why risk getting hurt physically, or professionally... if, at the end of the day, your own organisation is willing to feed you to the wolves?
dalton is totally whipped on this.

The orders are coming down from McGuinty, certainly. He's the C-in-C of the Province's police force, and the buck stops at his desk, nowhere else.
It saddens me that not ONE single member of the OPP will do what is right, and arrest these criminals, even if it risks their precious "career".
There are other careers, and the officer who refused to turn blind to these gangsters, would find enough friends to make a good career in some other field.
But, just like the Coast Guard scuba divers here in B.C., who let a boatload of people drown, because a government regulation stated they had to have more than two divers on site, these cops have NO CHARACTER!
They are "good Germans", and can take solace only in the fact that their leaders are as cowardly as they are.
Our War veterans, who every day risked their lives, must be spinning in their graves, when they see the gutless bunch they passed the torch to.
I guess they were afraid the flame might burn their little fingers, so they dropped it.
When you become an Officer of the Law, it is the LAW that you answer to, not some chickenshit politician. You have the DUTY to uphold the LAW, even if it means arresting the head of your State, if he breaks it.
We are so cowed by political correctness in this Country, we are barely functional.
I feel sorrow at the disappearance of the greatness we once aspired to.
Dis-band the OPP, they're useless.
Local police forces might have some sympathy for their neighbours and intervene during beatings by aboriginals, but any sympathy the OPP has for the people that pay them to be protected is overshadowed by the 'Big Man' at Queen's Park. He doesn't give a shit about some whiney white men being beaten.
It is not because the OPP is being directed by McGuinty. It is because Mr Gualtieri is not yet well enough to tell his story to police, identify, etc.
