100% this. The role of police is too important to let thugs hide behind "I don wan be incwiminated".
While that's true most people are unaware of the places actual role. In the United States at least in the police are not there to protect or serve you. They are there to protect the property of the wealthy. And not much else. They can and will kill you with impunity if afforded the chance. We need to completely reform the police. Because the problems with them stem far far deeper than their simple gang behavior. And that is a sad truth. The police are off the little more than a state or municipality in sanctioned gang.
While you are referencing American police behavior in a forum about Canada, I don't think our police are much better. We could definitely take a page from some other countries about what responsibilities and obligations police have, or ought to have.
