    When I do Know Your Rights trainings, I make sure to emphasize that rights are corrective, not preventive.

    One of my co-trainers referred to it as "rights are for the courts".

    Having rights in no way stops cops from violating those rights and the track record of Toronto Police in the Black community is, uh, less than stellar.

    They don't have to worry as the Self-Investigation Unit will generally clear them, and even if they don't, the "punishment" is trivial and a long way off.

    Today is the last day for kids and pets in the Circle as we await #PoliceBrutalilty

    It's probably for the best, as it's hot as fuck here today.

    Listening to our team slay at the injunction hearings, watching people bring donations of electrolyte drinks.

    ➑️The first incident⬅️ occurred in 2017. Holmes, who was working at #FuckYou52 Division, investigated a cyclist for running through a red light along the waterfront. After the cyclist refused to provide identification, Holmes arrested him, pushing him to the ground. The cyclist suffered injuries, including a broken clavicle, as a result.
