Do we think Brackenreid gets in trouble over his language again?

If he doesn't swear, "Bloody Hell" at some point in this episode I will be writing several strongly worded official complaints. |

Murdoch and Brackenreid unwittingly put their careers at risk when they investigate high-level police corruption. via CBC Oh boy. This is gonna be good. Chief Constable Davis, anyone? That was my thoughts exactly! I hope he is involved and Brackenried and Murdoch get him good! (and then Giles can give Davis a big frowny face when he joins him in Don Jail. Then they plot Giles's escape together! Giles then runs off to the Klondike and buys a homestead where he is known as *that* neighbor that frowns and is generally grumpy at everything! He ends up collaring Simon and Edna who happen to be his neighbors and taking Simon under his wing and teaching him things) *takes big squeeing breath* |

Davis is in many ways, a bigger prick than Stockton or Giles. Yes Stocky and Giles had their failings, but probably only in that they were fastidious and pedantic to the last; qualities which I don't think we can hold against them.
Davis, let's face it, is just an asshole.
Speaking of qualities - I doubt that this episode would center on Brackenreid and his swearing. If his swearing was such a huge problem (and I doubt that it is), he would've been fired LONG before now. He's a crusty, crotchity old Yorkshireman. If he didn't swear, I'd be rather suspicious!!

Stockton was a bigot and was just as bad as Davis. Giles was too tough, but he at least followed the law most of the time. Though he himself turned out to have covered up manslaughter.

The thing with Stockton is that he was no more of a bigot than the average Torontonian of the time, especially the Orangemen, who were the majority and in control of City services, including the police and fire department. Anyone hoping to win the mayoralty race had to be an Orangeman. (The first non Orangeman to be mayor in the 20th century was Nathan Philips, who was elected in the mid 50s. He was Jewish and had to endure anti-Semitic attacks through his campaign.) As disgusted as most people today are about the bigotry portrayed, it was very representative of the time. If anything, the series has soft pedalled it a bit. Stockton would probably actually consider himself something of a liberal, because he tolerated a Catholic, not just in the Constabulary, but as a detective.
Davis is representative of the worst of the period.....not just a bigot, but an aggressive bully using his position of power......I am really hoping he gets his in a very big way.......

I don't think Stockton was any better than Davis, both are an example of the worst police officers of the time. Giles wasn't in the same league as them but even he was corrupt in his own way. MM always goes for Chief constables who will be at odds with William and Station house 4.

Giles is essentially a good detective who atoned for his past by, yes being hard, but still making sure he was fair. He was hard on Williams because he saw in him a good policeman, one that would investigate and not just take the easy route. One who was not corrupt. And was disappointed that William was just like the rest when he let Constance Gardner go. He knows that Brackenreid is also a good policeman, one that William has made better. So he was hard on Station House 4 because it was the one station house where he knew they would actually investigate the crime and the one SH he could trust. Stockton was a lazy policeman who only got where he got by having the right handshake. Davis is corrupt, he ran a corrupt station house. I wouldn't be suprised if he blackmailed someone to get the job of CC.
