And don’t be fooled. This same sentiment is evident in the @rcmpgrcpolice. That officer also proudly defended his idiocy.

Edmonton police union says task force report ‘attacks integrity’ of city officers

Sgt. Michael Elliott of the Edmonton Police Association said he believes the Edmonton Police Service was unfairly portrayed by the community safety and well-being task force.
