Police officers deserve community support, respect and gratitude for putting their lives at risk every day, says the National Police Federation.
As police officers and union representatives, we've been supporting our friends and colleagues in Ridge Meadows, Coquitlam, Burnaby and beyond through the aftermath of the murder of Const. Frederick "Rick" O'Brien. The surrounding communities in the Tri-Cities and beyond have responded and been incredibly supportive. Flowers, cards, teddy bears, treats, and tears have flooded the detachments and, thankfully, this gives our Members a little boost.
But police officers, and I believe the public, know when someone is grandstanding for political gain and that's insulting and hurtful. Police are not political pawns, they are heroes in life. Don't wait for their death to be supportive. Members deserve cooperation, appreciation, and a legal system that respects and advances their work. We support the Charter of Rights and Freedoms; but increasingly victim's rights and the rights of society have lost equal footing to the rights of the accused.
Critics are quick to cite incidents and trends from other countries in their criticism of Canadian police officers.
