We appear to be very black and white when contentious issues are presented on PERB. Some posters automatically take the side of the 'poor downtrodden drug addicted people put into this predicable social situation'.
I post more of a support for Law and Order support theme based upon these lines:
Years ago, I had my apartment broken into at 4 AM by an addict looking for his dealer. He had the wrong apartment and it turned out he needed to climb up the fire escape to the third floor not the second. He broke my kitchen window and confronted me looking for his stuff. There was a violent incident on my part removing this person from my apartment. I was not charged and he was hospitalized.
I have had two vehicles windows smashed looking for loose change although none was visible. I caught one and dealt with him accordingly without the LEO attending the incident.
I have had materials stolen from the front of my home that were to be used for a renovation. The LEO know who the thieves were but require more intel to move forward on the file.
I have had the police attend my residence while one person went through my vehicle looking for valuables. He was tasered when he refused to exit my vehicle. In his jacket were my CD's and about $4 in loose change.
I have been robbed in the USA while threatened with a weapon while on holiday.
I have a few friends in the LEO and consider them to be honourable good people who would not abuse their position.
I support our Police service and overall I am supportive on how they deal with thieves, drug addicts, people who do damage property and abuse other citizens that are innocent.
I abhor the general consensus on PERB that all LEO are bad and all LEO abusive of their powers. There are bad apples for sure as many videos have been posted here and elsewhere. However, I believe there are a majority of good Police in our GVRD.
When people are posting their support for the poor downtrodden on PERB is it because the LEO have done them wrong personally or is it an ingrained dislike that they have grown up with from their own families of origin?
