    Yeah, I live in Canada, and while the cops do some fucked up shit, it’s not nearly to the level as US cops.

    I never see a cop and feel scared for myself or anybody around me. At most, I feel worried that there’s something happening.

      You might wanna read up on the history of policing in Canada. Our police force is systematically corrupt and deeply racist. Our mounties were created from the men who did the red river massacre of indigenous peoples and to this day, cops across the country are giving “starlight tours” and murdering civilians with impunity.

      Here is a good place to start educating yourself, since our news does a terrible job of holding cops to account in our country. https://www.canadaland.com/shows/commons-the-police/

      That is very naive. CDN cops are assholes.
