Actions of Hate

All, last night 4 of my close friends were jumped outside of a small town pub. One of my friends is in the Auxiliary for the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP, equivalent to state police) and another is going into the army for Military Police duty.

Several of the individuals in the bar got wind of my friends being in the military/police force and headed outside just before last call to set up an 'ambush' for my friends. When the four of them left the bar, they were confronted by 10 of these individuals. When the OPP Aux stepped outside he was blindsided and sent to the pavement where 5 of the group began kicking him several times. 2 of the friends tried pulling them off, but the other half of the group went after them. The Military Policeman-to-be is a 3rd degree black belt and managed to land a few good licks on one of them, but was then overpowered as well.

The fight continued and the end result was the OPP Aux not being about to open one of his eyes, two of the friends with bruises and one of them with a broken nose. The Thing that REALLY burns me is the female on looker who was struck by one of these men. She was smashed against a wall and her arm broke.

This all happened not even 30 mins after I left with my girlfriend and her friend. I feel awful that this happened after I left and that I wasn't there for my friends when they were in trouble. I know I wouldn't have made much of a difference against those odds, but it should have been my face in the pavement with them...

The thing I ask you is, WHY? Why would hearing that two men in the bar are police/military be enough reason to gang up, ambush and severely beat them?! WHY?! These people sign up to do a service for their nation. They sign up to protect these people and this is what happens? It is complete and udder BULLSHIT!

This completely shakes me and shatters my views. I can just replay in my head how it all went down. Also how the situation would have been different. I mean, this is a small port town, a small close knit community. You would not expect this kind of shit to go down.

I ask you all why and how anyone could be so hateful to servants of the peace?
