Introduction Statement:
There is no doubt in my mind that Police Officers (Cops), always try to do their best to protect and serve in our modern Canadian society. But, like everywhere around the world, we also suffer from a few rotten apples that smear the image of our police force.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, A G A I N . . .
On August 24, 2020, the Washington Post published the following: “Police shot Jacob Blake, who witnesses said had been trying to break up an argument between two women, as he walked back toward his silver SUV on Sunday; an officer trailing behind. As three of Blake’s sons looked on from the vehicle, the officer fired seven times toward Blake’s back at close range. The incident was caught on video, which immediately ricocheted across the Internet.” This happened in Kenosha, Wisconsin (USA).
During the winter of 1968, North Vietnam’s sudden attack to the South Vietnamese people and their American allies, brought to the world an iconic execution-style picture. This picture depicts the South Vietnamese Brigadier General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan shooting at point-blank, an unarmed and cuffed North Vietnamese Officer and prisoner (Nguyễn Văn Lém). Without any kindness or any type of interrogation, General Loan pulled his pistol out of his holster and shot point-blank, Officer Lém on the temple, who immediately ceased breathing.
\What is the difference between the above images that took place in Wisconsin, and those below regarding the Viet Cong Officer shooting? Nothing has changed in 52 years. In fact, it has gotten worse because this is happening too often in peaceful times within North America.
