BC used to have a provincial police force but then the government sold the people out.
I definitely sympathize with the concerns, but I don’t think fragmentation of policing is actually going to make it any more accountable. If anything, it makes for a lot of obfuscation and finger pointing, at least in my experience. The lack of local accountability is real, but I do think that’s a problem where we should be working to reform the institution together across the country, rather than creating a bunch of small, regional forces with their own issues.
You don’t just disband a police force without consulting the public over night.
I can agree with that. The process was definitely “shoot first, ask questions never.”
