IN BETTER SOCIETIES, POLICE ARE BEACONS OF LIGHT

Dear Editor:

Frustrated police breaking the law, taking the law into their own hands.
That's ok?

Kidnapping, beating, that's ok ?

Being judge and jury, that's ok?

And what if they kidnap and beat the wrong people (not the scum that they
portray these people as which in my mind is a hate crime itself )?

What if they hit these people's head and "accidentally" kill them?

That's ok ? What if a doctor is frustrated and doesn't do his or her job
and patients die?

How about a fireman or a paramedic who is frustrated and doesn't do his or
her job?

How about a 911 operator? An engineer? An airline pilot or even a school
bus driver?

Clearly, the problem was these six so-called police even though it's also
clearly a symptom of police attitude.

Let's hope the Vancouver Police Department does something about it as it's
also clear that some police don't accept this since an honest, courageous
police officer who clearly has integrity (something else I believe is
necessary to be a police officer) exposed this disturbing crime.

There is no defence for police breaking the law.

In a better society, police would be a beacon of light to the ones with the
most needs in our society and it's clear to me, the ones living on the
streets have the most urgent needs.
