IRRELEVANT OPINIONS

Beyond the shocking revelation that (gasp) cops tend to have
conservative opinions, what could the motivation be for trumpeting
that 59 per cent of Vancouver beat cops are opposed to Insite?

Why should anyone care what the opinions of beat cops are, regarding
whether or not crime and disorder have been reduced by the presence of
the Insite?

Statistics regarding these things are surely a matter of empirical
facts and not people's politically-motivated opinions.
