Because no reforms are needed. Our cops do not shoot everyone, nor do they kneel on necks...

The Guardian shill writers want to see civil war in Canada too. Good to know.
Thanks for the colony!

I think the Liberals have managed well during the Great American Circus. But I'm still reminded of the old Sex Pistols song every time I see him: "We're so pretty / Oh so pretty / Pretty vacant."

A thread just opened about Canadian police that will probably get overloaded with
emotion soon enough.

Including kneeling on necks.

No, no one in Canada cares when cops murder people. Why should we?

It's like I said. Whites still trust the police. But when enough of people figure out that there's alot of bad cops out there who are abusing and even killing people it will change. And, since white people are the majority demographic it will likely mean a change to the system.

Until then it's going to continue protests or not because, if police violence doesn't directly affect someone they pretty much remain ambivalent to it. Especially when most times the victims are people who have criminal records which means some people see them as having "deserved it".

Or the line that says it all about the innate silliness of nationalism in God Save The Queen - "we're just another country".

no here they don't get charged with murder, just criminal negligence causing death.

Fits better in this thread.

Correct on the first part, not on the second part...

Edmonton police continue to defend officer using knee-on-neck restraint in 2018 arrest:

In general, I agree our cops are not as trigger happy and better than their American counterparts, but they could still probably use more training as recent video from Kelowna and other Canadian cities shows.

Putting an end to physical apprehension and an immediate lethal response to the most piddling of offenses would put an end to about 90% of the problem, no matter the skin colour of whoever is in confrontation with the officers on the scene. That's what requires the deepest and most comprehensive investigation - why are officers showing up at an incident with harsh violence being the first and only response on their part? Why have they been trained to come in with a tunnel vision of bringing the hammer down hard, no matter the incident and no matter what the consequences later, when there's no way in hell that particular mindset is required for the vast majority of calls they respond to? This is the attitude that absolutely has to change.

The cops are not military. In fact if anything the police should be mentally trained the same way the military is, just to put a permanent end to on-site collapses in discipline and officers going rogue. The military for the most part wouldn't act this way because their training is too good and their immediate leadership (sergeants, warrant officers, lieutenants, captains) have as their primary task to not let a situation break down into the sort of chaos that results in un-necessary physical confrontations that easily lead to death. If the Allied military occupation authorities in Germany and Japan had acted as badly towards the populations there as police in North America do far too often then those countries would have risen in revolt and never been rehabilitated back into civilization.
