| Date | 00:10:55, May 26, 2012 CET | From | Action Canrillaise (Rildanor) | To | Debating the Police Reform Act of 3309 |
| Message | Why do you insist that police do not patrol public property (i.e. land owned by the government)? |
| Date | 05:41:51, May 26, 2012 CET | From | La gauche verte | To | Debating the Police Reform Act of 3309 |
| Message | Police presence have been known to hinder certain segments of society from accessing said public properties. First of all, let's define public properties. They are all government-owned land and buildings, parks, and facilities built on such land. As such, hospitals and public schools are public property, as well as municipal offices and parks. Now, do you expect the police to actively patrol schools and hospitals at all times? Not only does police present at these places create an unhealthily "we-are-being-watched-so-behave" atmosphere, it can also prevent those who have bad experiences with the police of have a natural distrust towards them from coming to these facilities at all. |

| Message | If they choose not to go to school or hospitals, it is their own lost. We cannot and should not sacrifice security and unity for these ungrateful societal scums who have no respect for authority. Like the GreenLeft. |
