I don't understand why we live in a society where me, a law abiding citizen, loathes interacting with the police. It just doesn't make sense. They should be there to help. They should be part of the community and someone you trust. I struggle with this. If it's like that for me, a white, upper middle class, male, what is is it like for a poor indigenous person?
I have found Calgary cops to be friendly. Just the other day I saw a couple of them “walking the beat” who were approached by a woman and they exchanged a few words that ended in laughter. She was pretty and white for whatever that’s worth. That’s the way it should be for everyone.
