You can imagine that.... Officers are risking their personal safety day in and day out, they're risking the sanctity of their families, their psychological and emotional well-being, when dealing with repeat and violent offenders. When these perpetrators are brought before the courts, and when they are released and the officers can clearly see an elevated risk—they're released into communities, and they further victimize innocent, law-abiding Canadians, including police officers in the lawful execution of their duties—it is very demoralizing for our officers.
