The Edmonton Police Association is under fire for flying a flag it says is intended to support police officers, but many feel the flag is a symbol of the police vs. people.

The Ontario government introduced new legislation that will overhaul the Police Service Act.

Edmonton Police Chief Rod Knecht told reporters Wednesday that while the recent shooting deaths of police officers in Texas and Louisiana were "devastating" and have raised concerns for Edmonton officers and families, he is not worried about any slide in support for his officers.
