So it goes back to the same thing we've been saying for the past 2+ years -- people who have been unfairly targetted need to go through the effort of preparing and filing for either a complaint or a lawsuit, and only with enough volume could the current situation be changed. But unfortunately, going through either route is a huge undertaking in terms of time, effort, and in the case of lawsuits, a lot of money as well. I can't blame anyone for not wanting to just take the easy route and give in.  |
I agree with you 110%
From my personal view point based on the things ive seen unfold since this whole thing started, the OPCC is just a smoke screen to try and appease the karens of the world who want to complain about the police. Its litterally just an outlet for the people that want to be heard but not something that will bring about any real change. Agreed that they are looking out for the best interest of the police.
You would think if 1 or 2 members are getting a complaint filed on a weekly basis SOMEBODY would raise an eyebrow though.
Ive always been one to respect police however my tune is definitely changing as it looks more and more like they can do whatever they want with 0 repercussions. Which should be worrisome to the public.
This is just my 2 cents, I dont really like venting on a public forum like this but its getting more and more frustrating to watch this unfold and not see anyone be held accountable.
