Calgary police officer condemns Ottawa police doing politicians' dirty work
"There is no doubt that we are all part of history right now. I have one question for you: Which side do you want to be on?"
Nick Motycka is a Calgary police officer. He has worked with the Calgary Police Service for the past 10 years. Before that, he was with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) for 6 years.
TRANSCRIPT
Today was a hard day for me. Something was taken away from me that I can never get back. Watching members of the Ottawa police service seize fuel from peaceful protesters took away a long held belief that I thought to be a lasting truth. That is that the police are here when push really comes to shove, to protect and help people.
I will never see my profession in the same light that I did before today. What I saw was the police doing politician's dirty work like hired goons. This goes against every reason why I chose this mostly thankless, difficult, traumatizing career with terrible hours. The reason I got into law enforcement was to help people. However naive that was, it is my honest truth.
As the years wore on, I'll be first to admit that I got jaded, but I never let anything compromise my integrity. I always applied the front page of the newspaper test. That is: Would I be okay with whatever I was about to do being on the front page of the paper or a news story in your feed for younger viewers? Doing what was right even no one was looking, even if it was difficult, was always the right decision.
What is happening in Ottawa with the clear political influence on the police to physically exert political will on peaceful protesters for nothing more than possible political gain, is so very wrong on so many levels. 'I was just following orders' is no longer an excuse.
It is time to stand up and speak out by refusing to breach your fellow citizens' fundamental charter rights. You signed up to help people. Stand with your fellow Canadians and say 'Enough is enough.' There is no doubt that we are all part of history right now. I have one question for you: Which side do you want to be on?
