Why are you revering police? That’s your problem.

“Why are you revering police? That’s your problem.”

Cops are just revenue agents with guns. The keeping-you-safe thing, if it ever was a thing, has been long gone for at least a generation. According to the Supreme Court, a cop is not required to come to your aid. This isn’t to say their haven’t been brave cops who risked, or even lost their lives coming to someone’s aid. But such actions are on an individual basis and not part of the overall mission...which is writing tickets for revenue.

The low IQ ideology known as progressivism induces people to have no reverence in anything, period.

Police are suppose to follow that law... and that’s almost always a good thing. This is close, but it doesn’t come up to the Nuremberg standard...

If cops had been told to shoot and kill unarmed truck drivers 99% of them would have said, “No, not gonna do that” - and accepted the consequences...

The law that needs to be changed is the one dealing with the Emergencies Act of Canada:

“R.S.C., 1985, c. 22 (4th Supp.)- An Act to authorize the taking of special temporary measures to ensure safety...”
(https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/e-4.5/page-1.html)

Trudeau overstepped his authority because he’s an idiot who got into office by choosing the right father to be born to (born on third thinks he hit a triple)... So the Canadian Parliament needs to put restrictions on the law so some future fool can’t use it to punish citizens he hates... like working class citizens - or reward groups he likes like violent BLM and Antifa.
