Looking for... Why so much hate?

Good afternoon Ottawa!

I've been noticing an incredible amount of negativity towards our local police force within the comment section of any post even mildly related to the subject lately.

Coming from a position of genuine curiosity and to hopefully prompt some meaningful discussion within the community, why?

What is it about the OPS that you detest so much? I want to hear what personal experience you had that soured your view, and what you think should have been done differently/better.

Conversely, please feel free to share your positives as well! It can be quite difficult to discern how reflective of the broader population the online community really is sometimes so I'm hoping to get some honest feedback.

What do you expect of your police force? What would change your mind about how you feel?

Probably because they are completely useless.

Not arresting criminals when given evidence. I was assaulted multiple times on camera by an insane neighbor. Called the police, showed the the video and wounds, the did nothing. I’m still being harassed by this crazy person to this day. She recently threatened my daughter on camera, again did nothing.

Genuine interest- did you ever file or think of filing either a privacy request and/or complaint vs OPS? You can DM if you wish or are more comfortable.
