He was arrested...

Really "interesting" that Ken Sim and ABC were so eager to get cops back in Vancouver schools in 2022, where they have access to vulnerable children, and no special training or oversight.

Vancouverites, never forget when the Vancouver chief of police said:

“I don’t report to any politician… I don’t report to the City of Vancouver, I don’t report to the Province of B.C. or the federal government.”

VPD Officer Was Quietly Investigated over an Abusive Relationship with Teen | The Tyee A police watchdog report does not reveal the former officer’s name or the school where he met the teenage girl.

Police are sexual abusers at higher rates than the general population, in part because being a cop requires them to believe that their use of violence is justified. This is a foundational problem with policing and can not be fixed through reform.

"Berglund says several civilian witness immediately recognized that the man appeared to be a victim in distress and attempted to talk to him and offer assistance, but officers saw him as a ... threat to public safety that needed to be taken down."

Police are oppositional to safety. #defundtheVPD

"There were forty-seven members in the compassion club, and zero deaths occurred among members during the year that the site operated. Since the site was raided and shut down by Vancouver police, at least two members have reportedly died."

The cruelty is the point.

A mayor that serves the City instead of himself is unlikely to need armed thugs for "safety." Why is he so afraid of his own constituents?

In 2021, VPD and CoV staff stole from an unhoused woman; her mother's ashes, her brother's ashes, and her uncle's ashes. VPD accused her that her family's ashes were drugs.

Police brutality against our most vulnerable community members is the opposite of safety.

Remember in 2022 when then-police chief Adam Palmer was asked about accountability, and said: "I don’t report to any politician… I don’t report to the City of Vancouver, I don’t report to the Province of B.C. or the federal government."

AJ 🚆 @alyssa_jayne on X Heads up that they are checking tickets on the 99 BLine at Main Street headed east. Because the use of no less than 9 cops (NINE MEN STANDING HERE AS IF THIS IS ANY WAY A PRIORITY) is definitely worth the value of the additional funds collected. 🙃 Spread the word.

The tough-on-crime party in action:

1. harass homeless people
2. harass transit riders

ARE WE FEELING SAFER NOW?
