People are not stupid. They realize that police investigations and prosecutions are tainted by political considerations. They are losing faith in the system. Just what the Left wants.
For instance does any right minded, decent person have faith in Portland, Oregon cops? Try to imagine how police would have dealt thirty years ago with a horde of masked thugs bearing clubs on a public street threatening demonstrators who had a permit to assemble.
Police work for civilians. They are sworn to obey their political bosses, not to protect the public. They do what they are told. The government loves having armed men at their beck and call, to enforce government policy with guns, mace, handcuffs, nightsticks and the power to take all your goods and your freedom of movement.
New Democratic Party formerly known as Communist Party of Canada and then Labor-Progressive Party ,LOL
“Distrust of Police Growing in Canada”
Just wait until they start shooting family pets, innocent home owners, hostages with a fusilade of random rounds, Australian women who called them for help, mistaken address SWAT raids, kids with cap guns, people holding a cellphone, etc....then the distrust will really become intense.
The Oregon State Police willingly shut off their body cams and killed LaVoy Finicum on behalf of the FBI under the direction of James Comey.
“Support Your Local Sheriff” was a great 1970’s slogan, but does it apply to the times in which we live?
They are lackeys of federal government power as was proved in Oregon back in 2016 with the Oregon Standoff protests.
There are endless examples and incidents.
I think the Portland police acquitted themselves well in the latest dustup; they ignored nonviolent rightwingers and brought their force to bear against Antifa goons.
The mayor was not pleased and the city is investigating the police, in fact.
