I work in a sketchy area of Vancouver and have seen only seen professionalism by the VPD. Not kidding.
Even being threatened with violence they remain calm and poised. Quite impressive to watch. I couldn't/wouldn't do it even for the large salary they make.
Did you even look into the details of how Myles Gray was killed?
They handcuffed his hands and his legs then proceeded to break nearly every bone in his body after he was helpless and unable to threaten them in any way. They crushed his voice box and stomped his crotch until his scrotum ripped open. Then they kept the identities of the pigs hidden for 6 years and not a single charge was laid on any of them.
But yeah yeah keep repeating the same tired bootlicking talking points about how great pigs are.
I did and can't make the same conclusions as yourself. I wasn't there so don't know how the individual was acting/resisting. I can see how you came to that view from reading the details but I think there is more to the story. I don't believe cops murdered a guy for the heck of it.
I was on a plane once. Huge guy started acting crazy. Plane landed. 4 RCMP came on the plane to take away crazy guy. Crazy guy swatted them away like flies. Police tasered crazy guy many times on the plane and it just pissed him off. He ran off the plane into Toronto airport. Point is it is not easy to chill out someone with just words/minor force.
I agree with Syncro there are some bad apples and the union is strong. However, I've only seen professionalism and I've seen a lot of interactions that could have gotten nasty, especially with threats against the police.
