And don't forget the this conclusion:

A year-long consultation process was held — involving two Calgary police associations and Beyond the Blue, which supports police families, along with several community groups like the Anti-Racism Action Committee and the CPS Community Advisory Board — where some Calgarians "have clearly expressed that the thin blue line patch on police officers makes them uncomfortable due to its history and current use by groups opposing racial equity," said Cornett.

Captain Otto: is it possible you have the answer already that the symbol - to the public and your governing body - is seen as racist and divisive, but you just don't give a fata and will continue displaying it for all of us to see the rules don't apply to you?
Bravo CPS. I went from a total naïve guy supporting the cops and believing the hogwash that they have such a dangerous job (
they don't even crack the top 10) and are protecting us while we sleep peacefully in our beds to thinking they're a bunch of disgusting pigs in the span of like four or five years. Well you wanted an us-versus-them police force and you have it. Nice work. I'm happy to be on the other side of that stupid-ass blue line.
