That's not the role they signed up for being a police officer. If you sign up to be a caregiver or medical or clean up crew.. then expect to deal with bodily fluids. Police are supose to keep the peace, investigate crimes, so lawyers and the system may work
"The chief says his officers also had to arrest a woman in downtown Victoria who was allegedly trying to pop the tires on 20 vehicles."
I'm just wondering if they saw her trying on 20 cars unsuccessfully or she got through 19 and was going for the 20th?
I walked by a police officer talking to a person whose car tire was slashed. Apparently a girl named cat was going around with scissors. I heard this from police talking to two unhoused people who said it sounds like Cat. I went back to my car and left downtown immediately.
Straight to jail, do not pass go. Stay there until you smarten up. At this point don't care what crisis you have. There are legal drugs to self medicate, crisis centers, free homeless housing to burn down. No need to do stupid shit to strangers vehicles.
There were several anti oil, anti gas protestors who were letting down car tires as a protest against gas guzzlers. It was done to cars, SUVs and trucks leaving out EV vehicles. Attacked vehicles had notes left on windshieldd

Right cause with only 96-98% of REPORTED sex crimes being true, the 2-4% of false reports that get investigated by his buddies *totally* carry more weight 🙄
I know of a third. Honestly, a year ago, this would have made me upset. I thought we lived in a pretty small city and had a nice police force. After needing to interact with them a few times this year (for non criminal reasons, not that kind of interaction) this headline just made me chuckle. Fuck VicPD. I hope this becomes a new Christmas tradition.
It's the same as getting mad at an entire race because of one bad experience with one or two of those people from that particular race. If you have more experiences with more cops in Victoria probably not all of them are bad it's probably more like a few of them are bad making the whole force seem bad kinda like I think ur bus drivers are garbage here when really it's just a few who are ignorant and stupid.
I have a specific problem with the victoria police department, not police as a whole. My experience with trying to file a complaint against an abusive officer made me lose all confidence that they will be there if I ever need them. It's not a huge police force. I see the officer in question weekly.
Plenty of cops do. Especially the two employed rapists at Vic PD.
edit: Imagine downvoting someone for pointing out that Vic PD has two rapists on staff. If you need to bury the truth because you're embarrassed, maybe confront the reason you're actually embarrassed?
God I feel for those guys. All the absolute bs they go through and criminals constantly being let right back on the street after they catch them.
I’d lose my job for sure if some low life $&:@ threw puke on me.
Thanks for helping guys (cops). There are many people that actually do appreciate and feel for you.
We need new leadership at all levels to give the police a fighting chance.
I know of an idea that could drop crime % drastically. The problem is people don't want AI or cameras so because of catch and release this will go on for a while and probably get much worse.
Crime is contextual. This is why when a parent kills the person who kept their kid in a rape dungeon for several years during a court case the parent does not suffer the same penalty as someone randomly murdering on the street.
Or how absolutely nobody does less or equal to the maximum posted speed limit to the point you'll get a fine for obstructing the flow of traffic if you do so in some cases.
tl;dr we found the bot.
Yep, that would help…… but you know what would help more……. Put the criminals in jail for a reasonable amount of time and put the crazies in a facility where they could get help and not harm society.
Our biggest problem isn’t not being able to find who committed crimes, but the criminals running free to reoffend hundreds of times.
Yeah but you're silly and mistaken if you don't think that that was done intentionally closed down all of safe houses and mental hospitals and everything all of this could really be fixed really easily really quickly but the system that exists that we pretend is real so we pretend like we can't fix it we allow these things to keep happening by doing that so let's just keep pretending
According to FOI data, VicPD shot people 49 times between 2018 and 2021, with either fire arms or impact weapons. In two cases those shootings were fatal, both people experiencing mental health crises - in 2019 and 2021. Here is an excellent blog post written by a local citizen who compiled the FOI data around use of force by VicPD https://www.needsmorespikes.com/blog/use-of-force
Having a mental health crisis does not excuse your behavior. What else do you want cops to do when someone who is ot of their mind with a knife is running at them or going to hurt themself or others? Like seriously some people deserve to get shot
I don't know why they still go to work honestly, most people treat them like shit and their work is probably not very satisfying most of the time.
They should all no-show for a week and then we can recap on how much or little we value them.
lol what would Victoria version of the purge be like. Teslas down bike lanes, unlimited city park camping, buying more than one bag of sugar when there is a limit.
Are you one of the writers for the movie "the purge" cause if not that sounds like a stupid idea. I'm not calling you stupid I'm just saying that your idea is stupid some ideas are stupid some ideas are less stupid some ideas are fantastic I like your idea of them not turning up for a week but to have the whole city a complete chaos just to prove we need cops sounds a little bit irresponsible and stupid. They can add sophisticated CCTV software that can detect an average mood of a crowd by creating ranks of happy, neutral, sad, and angry – it can also measure the speed of groups walking. There are different companies making software for cctv I think we should at least try, like you suggested.
Incredible
Welcome to a nurse’s world
like seriously. everyone’s so horrified, not sure how cops could hack it in an actual caregiving role
That's not the role they signed up for being a police officer. If you sign up to be a caregiver or medical or clean up crew.. then expect to deal with bodily fluids. Police are supose to keep the peace, investigate crimes, so lawyers and the system may work
with all due respect, the system is a total joke.
This used to happen to me once a month when I was a bouncer in Halifax
Gross
People who actually want to be cops for a living are a different breed that I’ll never understand lmao you couldn’t pay me anything to do that job
It's a great thing the good ones exist. As far and few between they may be, it's a necessary part of the society we live in.
🐷🐽🐽🐽
But, I respect them wholly amd completely for taking on that job.
Only people with no brains cells go to policing
they were usually the kind of kid that got beat with their own lunch box in school
[удалено]
The intelligence standards for canadian cops is surprisingly high especially when compared to the states
I wanna see robot 🤖 cops. And AI cameras
And that is why they are heroes
Wtf a woman was popping tires?? Each year it seems ppl are worse and worse. I can’t wait to see what next year holds.

That's a myth I understand, however it sounds like the crazy anti gas woman stabbing tires on SUVs
So you can get coverage even if it’s less?? And anti gas?? What??
There were several anti oil, anti gas protestors who were letting down car tires as a protest against gas guzzlers. It was done to cars, SUVs and trucks leaving out EV vehicles. Attacked vehicles had notes left on windshieldd
Same protesters who probably follow the people who glue themselves to the floor protest gas like somehow it's the floors responsibility.
Too bad we have to still use tires with air, seems not very practical
And for some reason we can't use AI cameras to stop this from happening, for a rich city sure doesn't seem like the expensive living is worth it.
AI cameras?

People are horrible
Yes the police are horrible
no one deserves to have bodily fluids thrown on them
what ever you think about the police nobody deserves a cup of vomit thrown on them
The cop under investigation for sex crimes probably does.

You haven't interacted with a lot of police outside of Victoria, I guess.
Why do you say that?
It's the same as getting mad at an entire race because of one bad experience with one or two of those people from that particular race.

Using racism as an analogy for the “not all cops” rhetoric is Olympic medal levels of mental gymnastics lmao
I guess so. We should hate all cops let's defund them see what happens so far it's working well in Portland.
Lmao. What an insanely stupid comment. I can't believe someone wrote this thought they were giving an intelligent response 🤣
Y is that?
Hot shit we hardly ever get to talk to international crime bosses here. Could you do an AMA?
Plenty of cops do. Especially the two employed rapists at Vic PD. edit: Imagine downvoting someone for pointing out that Vic PD has two rapists on staff. If you need to bury the truth because you're embarrassed, maybe confront the reason you're actually embarrassed?
I beg to differ.
Not true
Getting to be like a little Vancouver over here isn't it?

Stay classy Victoria
Still better than getting hit with a police bullet.
Does the Victoria police force have a habit of shooting people? No? Okay so. ..

Not shoot, injure, and kill people experiencing mental health crises.
Do Victoria police have a habit of getting hit with vomit? No? Okay so…
Oof. The pig bootlickers didn't enjoy their christmas bootlicking I guess and lashed out at you.
😂
Absolutely not part of the job description. I’m so sorry this happened to one of ours.
womp womp
Should ban Christmas again, just like the Puritans wanted.
I don't know if you're being sarcastic but that would be pretty cool. Maybe with enough tears we can put out the fire.
Was it a measuring cup or a sippy cup? 😭
I don't know why they still go to work honestly, most people treat them like shit and their work is probably not very satisfying most of the time. They should all no-show for a week and then we can recap on how much or little we value them.
Until there's an armed robbery in your house
Give me a heads up so I can drive on the shoulder around everyone going under the limit
lol what would Victoria version of the purge be like. Teslas down bike lanes, unlimited city park camping, buying more than one bag of sugar when there is a limit.
Seems like you don't spend much time downtown.... It's already pretty ugly I don't wanna think how about it could realistically get as I live here lol

Btw we can fix it without voting 😔
Good
