Regardless of the above, why are we letting people continue to widen the divide between law enforcement and minority groups? We should be building bridges not segregating them..... complete opposite effect to their message

If you have to ask then maybe you're not really getting the clearest picture available. We may be slightly better than the average American police department, definitely better than LA in the early 90's. But it doesn't take much to lose trust. And without question we get to see only the very tip of the iceberg. Can you actually name another "group in Calgary" that is even accused of civil rights abuses? Firefighters will put you out no matter what your race is.
I just think if your bully has reformed himself you're still not obliged to bring him to your party. And to even suggest that this may widen the gap between cops and minorities is so utterly ridiculous. You're the police for christ's sake. You should have to be coddled into respecting people's rights. It's fundamentally not a two way street.
