Finding Dawn

In the two articles that I read, "Police had enough to get a warrant for Pickton in 1998," by Postmedia news, and "Police Blasted at missing Women inquiries," by the Vancouver Sun, points out the question "Why did the police not catch Pickton sooner?". Inquiries to the police, pointed out in Police Blasted at missing Women Inquiries, were either pushed aside, forgotten about, or not as important as they thought. Many people were missing for years and years, until only one woman survived and had proof of what Pickton was doing. I think that this is horrible. Why did the police not see it or take it seriously when dozens and dozens of women went missing? I think that systemic racism had a big play in it and that it is not fair at all to all people. People should have a priority to be found or helped no matter their race, sexuality, or religion. After reading that article I read Police had enough to get a warrant for Pickton in 1998. I found this very disturbing. He killed women and then called them his "trophies" and they don't think that he murdered them only sexually abused them. My question is, why did the police not question him or get a warrant when they knew he was involved in some way with abusing women on the streets of Vancouver? These women, dozens, did not know what could have happened to them and it is not their fault. I blame the police for not investigating Pickton when they know he had assault charges. It could have saved many women's lives.
