Again: how does giving police more money solve any of these issues?
This seems like a strawman or red herring. I don't think he's saying BC crime is caused by lack of police funding. Defunding police budgets also won't solve the issue.
The issue is ideology of certain people in positions of power within the governments in BC (judges, lawmakers etc). They treat perps as victims, which allows them to break more laws and victimize more people. Some may be victims of something at some point and have some sad story in their life, but being a victim isn't a license to break the law and victimize others.
The cities of the pacific west coast are filled with do-gooder hippie dope-smokers, and some get into government and their ideas don't often work. The hippies raise their kids free-range, the kids grow up directionless with no boundaries and get their kicks trashing stuff and getting high, and when the cops catch them the courts give them a hug and put them back on the street.
