   For context, police gained support for this bylaw following this video. The guy posted the video of himself of calling an office a whore on socia media. The fact the officer was so polite and couldn't do anything about it made people furious. Of course, there is real risk of abuse of this law but that's the context.

      This is a hate speech problem, if there&#x27;s protection to be put in place it&#x27;s against misogyny, not against insulting police. Why would policewomen be protected against being called a whore but post office workers wouldn&#x27;t?

         or any other government worker -- rando IT worker at Dept of Transportation should be protected too, non?
