I get their reasoning for sure. It takes very little to lose trust in people of authority. It's not really up to the gay community to make amends. And it definitely isn't an excuse for cops to feel persecuted.

Sorry, what minority suffering has there been in Calgary. Sure there are individual cases, but you could point to the same numbers and rates in any group in Calgary. Don't conflate historical racism in the States and Calgary.
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
