Canadian police need more diversity
As the great Canadian Border and Capital Cities blockades wind their way down, we might ask where were the police? This was far from the first Canada's first blockade rodeo. When the Indians (as in First Nations), environmentalists, G20 summit protesters, strikers, unemployed workers etc., take to the streets the police can be counted on to show up in full riot gear ever ready to restore order. Maybe they learned from past mistakes, or maybe cops are reluctant to bust the heads of their drinking buddies. Most Canadian cops are smart enough to keep their opinions off social media, but there are a few who have not gotten the memo yet . Which is yet another reason that our police forces need greater diversity. With a better selection of pissed off oppressed minorities the cops would be able to respond to any flavor protest with equal enthusiasm.
