@ Cap'n Prefs
Yeah, a respectable demeanor and a positive attitude go a long way.
I've heard of a study where pictures were shown to aboriginal and non-aboriginal youths. The picture of a cop evokes feelings of trust, safety, and authority in non-aboriginals. Show the same picture to aboriginals and you get mistrust, suspicion and fear.
Forget batons, guns or tasers, the most powerful weapon in a cop's arsenal is authority, and it's worthless when dealing with a typical First Nations person. It makes the police's job a lot harder, and leads to strife for all involved. Who knows how long it will take for these scars to heal, but it doesn't help when the actions of policemen result in a First Nations man dying of exposure and the officers responsible don't face justice.
