Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

[Eaglelord17]

Not many jobs that require you to challenge people with a firearm regularly and then have guys who don’t know what they’re talking about dissect it on the internet.

Anyone who talks like you doesn’t have the experience needed to have the opinions you do. But no doubt you think you do.

The interpretation of the law that lead to the “breaking of the law” in an emergency was examined after the fact and found to be incorrect- it then informed every operation that came after it. So much so that it’s a briefing point on these emergencies in Alberta now.

Most of us know what you can’t do in that case. Someone didn’t and in the presence of looting made a poor call, and then that calls intent was interpreted poorly. That issue has been addressed. Which is what is supposed to happen.

I’ve been the front face on multiple natural disasters of national interest and my teams actions were slick. It is not unusual for the RCMP to get it right. Our actions have critical eyes on us all the time, and that’s fine- it’s the name of the game. But our folks nail it consistently.

You may feel it was addressed, much of the public does not. Yes it isn’t likely to happen again, however that doesn’t mean those responsible have been held accountable.

It’s about when you don’t nail it that’s a issue. It’s about the lack of accountability for those who fail to nail it. Police don’t like to ‘rat’ on their own. They let a lot slide before they hold someone to task. Even then when held to task the punishment is often much less than a civilian would receive for a similar situation.

Yes police have a hard job, and that is exactly why I am so critical of them. I hold them to a exceptionally high standard because of trust and power placed in their hands. When that trust is broken there should be hell to pay.
