  1. In the midst of a global uprising against police brutality and systemic racism, No Visible Trauma examines a deeply troubled police department and reveals the devastating consequences of unchecked police brutality. Despite its relatively low crime rates, recent years have seen the Calgary Police Service shoot and kill more people than officers in any other Canadian city, and more than either the New York or Chicago police departments in 2018. Five years in the making, the film unravels the intertwined stories of three individuals who were the victims of extreme violence at the hands of police officers. From the kidnapping and beating of a young immigrant from Ghana, to the fatal shooting of an unarmed man during a “wellness check”, the film exposes a criminal justice system that fails to hold police officers accountable for their actions.

    This doc focuses on CalgaryPD but the issues raised are happening across AB, in BC, Manitoba, Ontario & many more places across Canada. Canadian cops keep getting away with crimes & human rights abuses, daily, in Canada. Systemic racism is still a major problem across the country - no matter how much our governments try to whitewash their PR.

  6. @kimlockhartga We, the citizens, deserve much more public accountability & public transparency on cop crimes & cops abusing their power. We deserve municipal, provincial/state, federal governments who don't keep increasing police budgets - using our public tax dollars. All those budget increases have never helped to reduce crimes nor increased public safety. Those budget increases just help cops become more militarized & lack of accountability makes them even more arrogant & makes them more prone to exploit their authoritative power over citizens.

  11. #RCMP was ‘unreasonable’ when setting up exclusion zones around Fairy Creek protest
    By Leanne Sanders
    Sep 11, 2024

    The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP - #CRCC says that the RCMP was unreasonable in setting up broad #ExclusionZones and checkpoints while enforcing a civil #injunction covering the #FairyCreek area in #BritishColumbia, home to #OldGrowth #forests and a #protest led by people trying to save them.

    “In its review, the CRCC found that the broad exclusion zones and checkpoints used by members of the RCMP’s Community-Industry Response Group #CIRG were unreasonable,” said the report released on Wednesday. “The review determined that the RCMP’s demand to search the complainant at a checkpoint on a public road was unfounded, and his arrest, after refusing to agree to the search, was groundless.”

    C-IRG is a low-profile RCMP group tasked with responding to protests and other public order events about resource based #industrial projects like #logging and #pipeline construction.

    #Racism and #policing have gone hand and hand in the #Canadian context—from the historical #SettlerColonialViolence of the #RCMP through contemporary practices, from carding and surveillance to assaults upon #racialized people and communities. The settler colonial character of the Canadian state continues in the current context in the #disproportionate arrest and incarceration of #Indigenous people and the exertion of violence, often lethal violence, against them.

    Not surprisingly, the Canadian state and its various institutions of criminal justice have stridently denied claims of racism. Commissioner Brenda Lucki—the head of the Canadian state’s ongoing colonial force, the RCMP—recently infamously denied the existence of #SystemicRacism in the RCMP, even suggesting at a federal hearing that she did not know quite what that meant.

  26. The notion of #police being there to #ServeAndProtect in times of need often does not apply to #Indigenous, #Black or other #RacializedMinorities in #Canada. The notion of “help” more often resembles harm.

    This leads to the question, why does #PoliceBrutality against Indigenous and Black people continue to happen? Because it is a symptom of the structural #racism that exists within #Canadian society.
