YOU THINK POLICE ARE ON YOUR SIDE? THINK PETERBOROUGH, ONTARIO!

-- "A convenience store clerk in Peterborough, Ont., faces an assault charge after striking a robbery suspect with a baseball bat late last week. A clerk was helping a customer when a man entered the store brandishing a baseball bat and demanding money. 'A struggle ensued and the clerk was struck with the bat before grabbing it away from the suspect,' police said." --
The Chief weighs in...
-- "Peterborough Police Service Chief Stuart Betts says various comments on social media — including questioning the clerk’s charge — are 'unfair to the men and women of my organization.'" --
And...
-- "Montreal Police have warned against posting videos of thieves online, citing defamation concerns." --
Sometimes, I guess... you do what you gotta do.
