Are our politicians afraid of the police?

Re Officers off the hook for fatal shooting, March 13 How are we any different from a police state when officers, for whatever reason, have to shoot and kill someone and then keep reports of the incident secret?

There is no rational reason to keep the reports secret except to protect the officers involved. In protecting the officers, the public becomes very vulnerable to police brutality and to avoidable shootings.

Why doesn’t our provincial government step forward with laws that would insist that all reports dealing with a death caused by a police officer be made public? Are all levels of government afraid of the police? David Gladstone, Toronto
