"It’s not just the RCMP: Police culture is toxic"

--

A lot of it has to do with the militarization of police forces.

The ranks are like the military, uniforms like the military, culture like the military and now we see police forces arming up with military equipment.

The culture is military.

It career appeals to those who view force as a solution to problems and who enjoy exerting raw power over others.

The police should be a social entity. The public are not an enemy.

Demilitarize the police and you will see the wrong types of applicants disappear.
