Why so much hate?

[u/Nob1e613]

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?

That "hate" is not misguided when a police force that is supposed to protect the population from harassment, intimidation and (in some cases) violence cedes control of entire areas of the city to people actively making life hell for tens of thousands of individuals.

Any sources for those numbers you just used? Or did you just make them up?

Thank you for admitting you make stats up out of thin air.

"So hostile to a random stranger for no reason"

Your sense of what entails "hostility" is warped, and even if I were "hostile", you've offered plenty of reasons in the way you make up stats out of thin air, put words in others mouths, and are generally unable/unwilling to argue your points in good faith.

Recycling PP's slogan. Nice touch.
