Whilst I find Dang's goals admirable, this isn't a discussion in the abstract about surveillance technology but instead a discussion about the misuse of said technology by an institution has historically committed genocide and continues to serve a similar role today. It can be quite difficult to not introduce emotion into such discussions. Most well informed people do find the conduct of the RCMP upsetting and if we which to speak about it at all we must accept that people will be angry.

Thinking back on one of my own comments here a couple of days ago, I suppose the same thing could be said about Donald Trump.

My knee-jerk reaction was to point to the guidelines, but I guess it's one of those things I need to take a step back from and let people be rightfully angry.
