If there was a bank robbery or someone going on a killing spree, like this week in Rio, I want the quick decisive protection on my side. It takes alot of nerve to take out someone who has lost their head. That kind of work is more than just a paycheck.
This is what women at these rallies don't think of. They just make it a gender issue. It is a complete lack of context and understanding to compare these situations.

So this doesn't represent a broader problem relating to how women choose to represent themselves in public? Would you say that these women have
no point? Do you think that women who choose to go out in public revealing bits of their body get by without getting hassled? What if one of those women said
you don't understand the context? Because, although I don't live in Canada, I think they're making a point that's relevant to a large amount of women in... well, in the developed West at least. Did you see how many people on the rally
weren't young 'attractive' females in skimpy clothing - a majority, in the footage I saw.
Women may be 'heavily integrated' into the police force in Canada; it doesn't therefore follow that these women have a positive relationship to women choosing to represent themselves in a certain way. I mean, you might see this as a storm in a teacup, but my taking is that it's a straw that broke the camel's back thing. This sort of problem is present in the UK at least, but no-one's been stupid enough to crassly represent the idea that 'rape victims ask for it' in direct terms. That a lot of police feel that, and that a lot of women are afraid to report sexual abuse problems (there are statistics suggesting something like 1 in 4 women have suffered some form of physical sexual abuse), is the context they're talking about - it's merely anchored around a single case but it's by no means limited to it.
