Of Canada’s largest police services West of Toronto in Peele region is raising the Alarm by posting a public awareness message that claims too many people are filming violent incidents posting the footage online while neglecting to call 911 seeing your loved one in their most vulnerable state when they have been
Seriously injured when they are dying or in some cases when they have died is something that no one should ever experience while police declin to share specific smartphone videos like this of a man wielding a sword during a brawl serve as an example in one case police
Claim a passer by took footage of a man on the ground following a serious motorcycle crash instead of helping they posted the video on Tik Tok this behavior is inappropriate repugnant and extremely disrespectful to those impacted when you think of it from the police perspective their goal is to imagine a community
Where the members of that Community are helping them working with them to keep that Community safe however the people on the streets seem to have a very different sort of motivational system at play psychology Professor Steve Jordan’s points to the post-pandemic world as a driving Factor as more people work
Remotely and more young adults communicate on devices many are viewing the world around them through clicks and videos and as we live more isolated our focus on the societal level on the community level kind of decreases and our focus on our s increases they’re not as community-minded as say they may have
