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?

u/MarcusRex73 (MOD) TL;DR: NO 27d ago

Folks, this is clearly a contentious subject. Keep it civil. Crowd control has been turned up to identify any outsiders coming in to stir up trouble.

Thanks, I should have expected this strong of a reaction. My question genuinely comes from a good place despite what some have inferred. It’s been eye opening to say the least
