Yeah I should have been more specific. There are certain communities cops don't see themselves as a part of. Hell one of the big problems with policing in US cities is the number of cops who don't actually live in the places they work; in New York for example, 51% of uniformed NYPD officers live outside the city. I have a feeling you'd see a similar figure in a place like Toronto.
Lots of people who work or go to school in NYC live across the bridge in New Jersey.
I think there's a difference between a cop and a stockbroker, don't you?
What does that have to do with anything?
New York has 36,000 officers and 19,000 civilian employees. How many do you think they would have if they forced them to live in New York?Departments are hemorrhaging officers as it is.https://www.wsj.com/articles/police-departments-are-losing-officers-and-struggling-to-replace-them-11643288401
Nine Mounties accused of sexual abuse of Indigenous girls during a case that convicted a judge. Colleague finds incriminating tapes, reports them, another cop burgles them from her house, she sends in a tape he missed. No investigation.Allegations that B.C. RCMP officers abused Indigenous women ‘swept under the carpet,’ says ex-Mountie
An Edmonton police constable who kicked an Indigenous teenager in the head — leaving him with life-altering injuries — won't face criminal charges even though Alberta's police watchdog says the officer displayed a "shocking lack of judgment and disregard" for the teen's life.According to an investigative report released by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team Thursday, the agency had asked the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service to consider laying excessive force charges against the officer, but the Crown declined to prosecute.The officer, armed with a carbine rifle, acted in a "hasty and violent" manner, ASIRT executive director Michael Ewenson said in the report."While the law allows police to use force during an arrest in appropriate circumstances, using a life-altering kick directly to the head of this [person] as a first resort cannot be supported," the report said.…According to the ASIRT report, EPS officers were responding to a 911 call about a fight, and a man armed with a knife.Four officers who responded surrounded the Dumas family home and told everyone to come outside. Dumas got down on his hands and knees and began to crawl "on his belly" toward the officers, as directed, the ASIRT report said.Dumas began to reach into his pockets or waistband, the report said. The subject officer told investigators that he repeatedly asked Dumas to show his hands but he didn't comply.He warned him that if he didn't take his hands of out his pockets, "he would kick him the face," ASIRT said in the report.
