I'm tired of all the public moaning I hear from the Winnipeg Police. They sure sound entitled ie. worried about walking to their vehicles at night from their building...like any other office worker downtown.

Yes, it sure sounds like the usual union pleas to grow the union, doesn't it?
IMO while some money needs to go into law enforcement, especially where gang activity is involved, we need to direct resources towards drug/alcohol abuse programs. Of course then folks need access to affordable housing and decent reliable jobs. No work, no money, and it's back to alcohol and drug abuse. (yes, a fairly simplistic statement, but I can't write a thesis in an online forum)
