Alflives Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Our police officers are amazing and courageous. We need to be honouring them and not glorifying gangster behaviour. Our kids need to see police as the good guys, and be like them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 'known' to the police; I've received 3 speeding tickets in my life- each time I had to hand over my id and insurance papers. Wouldn't make sense for the cops to interview people , about crimes, if they didn't know who they were. Edited July 25, 2022 by gurn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.S. influence? How does the local indigenous population feel, about how great our Canadian cops are recently? Or the dark skinned folk in various eastern Canadian cities where they get 'carded" way may more than their fellow Canadians that happen to be white? Or poor people in Vancouver, where the cops are seizing their stuff, but not charging them with theft. They force poor folk to go through 'civil"- what a misnomer that word is- forfeiture. Knowing full well most poor folk can't afford to fight that process. Edited July 25, 2022 by gurn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 LANGLEY, British Columbia (AP) — The Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Monday reported multiple shootings in the Metro Vancouver city of Langley and said one suspect is in custody. Police say most of the shootings were in the downtown core of Langley and there is one report of a shooting in the neighboring Langley Township. Mounties issued a cellphone alert to area residents at about 6:30 a.m. Monday, telling them to avoid the area. Police closed off a large section of 200th Street, a main route through the center of the city. Police later issued a cellphone alert saying a suspect was in custody. However, the alert said police were still trying to confirm if the man is the only suspect involved. ***I'll change the thread title to reflect the Langley shooting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media, and lots of it. I've got a "Canadian Cops" thread going and do note that very few people go to it, or post. Hype media, also a lot of people like to point out other people's problems and ignore their own. It is easier to do that than work for change of our home grown issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Time to make bullets, in the possession of anyone but cops, military and hunters -illegal. Also 20 TRUE years in jail for gun crime. It likely won't deter anyone, but at least the perp will be off the street for an actual 20 years. Slows down the 'repeat offender' demographic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
