McCarthy pointed out that the superintendent called French by the wrong name, further discouraging officers. It’s also been reported, according to McCarthy, that the officers did not draw their weapons as traditionally practiced."That’s probably the result of a policy that was put in place for every time you draw your weapon, you have to do a report about it," he concluded."Policing is entirely under attack, and that’s why we have a 100% increase in the murder rate.
