Have you ever had to can the police to report something like this?

This is in Canada. You tell me. A cop finds someone in your car going through it. What are they going to do?

That’s the number of occurrences now when it isn’t a crime that anyone gets in caught for. Police take it upon themselves to be judges deciding where the law will and will not be applied. Criminals know petty crime is overlooked. Police do not even arrest individuals they find rummage in a vehicle. Those break ins are also not evenly distributed across the country. Police are choosing not to tackle this issue. It is not beneath them. It is their job.

You tell me. How many?

No they’re not. They have the largest budgets every where. They are misallocating their budget. They are fat on the hog. Salaries and benefits are too high. Their equipment egregious. They are not providing even basic law enforcement capabilities. They should be the first place to look for budget cuts until they get in order

That’s the one. But even then, they can’t be held accountable. Look at the gun buy back. Police all over are refusing to do their job. Same happened during covid. Police forces just flat out refused to listen if they don’t want to. In America it also is happening more frequently. The police refused to action what the state government were asking of them.

Yet every year it’s Police budgets that eat up the Majority of all budgets. So what are they doing?

If they cannot provide this basic service then we as the public need to the law in our own hands. The entier reason we do not is we entrust that to police. But they no longer serve. They are there to increase their budget and militarize themselves to protect only certain people.

There’s a few ways I would like to take this but also I think overall I agree with you.

I don’t go into it to much but where I’m slowly adapting my views are on a few issues.

One is that I think one is that no cost should be incurred by anyone who defended themselves. I do totally get the argument that everybody deserves justice including criminals. But the stories I’ve come across tend to highlight how self defense laws are lacking in Canada and there is a lot of room between allowing all killings and some kind of castle doctrine.

The second issue for me is as I’ve aged, I can’t tell you what the hell police do. The amount of times myself or someone i know has called them, only for them to say “not much we can do, just file a report online” is too many. Yet majority of my municipal taxes go to them. So for me I am coming around to the idea that we need to pull back some of the responsibility society has given to police and reclaim it ourselves. They’re not keeping us safe. They are now refusing to act when the government tells them to. Because of this I think society does need to go back to the idea that we can’t rely on the justice system.

But this defense costs money. Likely thousands. That shouldn’t be the case
