Not talking about the hoodlums. I'm talking about the kettling, the lack of name tags, the takedown of Adam Nobody where no police were able to identify any of the officers involved, etc....

Regarding Dziekanski, not only are their actions at the time unconscionable, but the force's reaction was to bury it and all evidence of it. To me, that's even scarier, it speaks of institutionalized acceptance of this sort of thing, sort of a "cost of doing business" approach.

Then there's the Ottawa police force's treatment of Roxanne Carr and Stacey Bonds. When these officers and others like them are put forward by their departments for mistreatment of people without having their hands forced by public outrage I will begin to have confidence in them.
