  2. 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.

  3. The use of #TearGas has persisted in recent days despite a #CourtOrder forbidding officers from using #ChemicalAgents against #demonstrators & #journalists unless they pose a safety threat. Last week, Gregory #Bovino, the #BorderPatrol official leading the #Chicago operation, was videotaped throwing a tear-gas canister into a crowd. In another incident, #immigration officers deployed tear gas as #families were walking to a Halloween parade.

  4. That same judge took the bench early Thursday at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse, where she told one of Trump’s lawyers, bluntly, “I’m not blind.”

    US District Judge Sara Ellis cited reports in the #Chicago Sun-Times & other media that have given her “serious concerns” about whether the #Trump admin has followed her #CourtOrder in recent days.

  5. "Linton [Kwesi Johnson] was very adamant that [Blair Peach] should be remembered by our community, because he lost his life in the struggle for ... racial equality. And he wasn't even British. He was a schoolteacher that came from New Zealand to teach young kids at school, and then a policeman hit him in the head on this march, and killed him ... It was despicable"

  9. I know an elder who remembers this. Her father was out on the land when the RCMP came to her settlement and killed all the dogs. Her father stayed away from the settlement with his dog team. He was the only one able to hunt and provide food for the community. He lived alone in the tundra with his dogs, hiding from RCMP for a long time. vice.com/en/article/zn8wy8/the #RCMP #Inuit #Genocide #Indigenous #CanadianGenocide #famine #SledDog #DogSled #Qamutik #PoliceViolence #PoliceBrutality
