Freedom Convoy donation of $50.00 resulted in this officer being penalized.
Should police officers be free to express their political beliefs so long as they don't interfere in their job performance?
"A Windsor police officer will have to work unpaid hours as a penalty for donating to the Freedom Convoy.
Const. Michael Brisco was previously convicted of discreditable conduct under the Police Services Act (PSA).
Brisco donated $50 through GiveSendGo to the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa on Feb. 7, 2022.
At the time, he was off on unpaid leave because he could not meet the requirements of the Windsor Police Service COVID-19 vaccination policy."
This may be at the root of the issue.
"Amyott said Brisco has not shown any remorse or “acceptance of wrongdoing” that his donation supported a movement that his peers in law enforcement were trying to contain."
