I have a problem with getting some BS ticket for tint when the car came from the dealere like that. Affecting my insurance rates for however long.... while animals like Homolka walk the streets again, the system is failing. /rant
the community has a responsibility to assist in stopping these crimes. If people don’t talk and assist police in their investigations, some criminals will get away when they could have been caught.
How is it impossible for the police to be proactive? Any time an officers detains and arrests someone for a crime, that’s being proactive. Walking the beat, proactive, hiring more officers...proactive. And of course, enforcing the law while off duty, proactive.
You’re right, there will always be handguns and bad guys. There will always be cops that give out tickets for silly infractions. And until the people speak up and media gets on it, it will stay the same way.

With what you said about the community assisting, I agree. Infact, the other night on global they had a brother of a shooting victim on (they were from the Jane-Finch area). He even said he wouldn't tell police anything if he even KNEW who it was. The police can only do so much but I think you may start to see a shift in what they will go after.
