  1. #NaziCops, #RacistCops, isn't news. It's a job qualification... albeit that may be news to some of you; especially #ProgLibs.

  2. #RCMP issued an #apology on September 7, 2024, for the historic use of #StreetChecks and other harmful interactions with members of the #African #NovaScotian community. It was an apology too long in coming, for treatment that was, in the words of Rev. Lennett Anderson, “dehumanizing and tragic.” And the RCMP's history suggests we should be deeply skeptical that the proposed action plan will be even close to what is required to remedy these grave injustices.

    In his 2019 report, written for the #NovaScotia #HumanRights Commission, Dr. Scot Wortley defines street checks as any occasion in which civilians are stopped by #police and subjected to intrusive questions, and their personal information collected into a database. He confirmed what community members have known for years: people of African descent in the #Halifax region are almost six times more likely to face street checks.

    It took five years after the release of this report for the RCMP to apologize for the harms caused. They also committed to an action plan, developed in consultation with members of 13 African Nova Scotian communities and the Association of #Black #SocialWorkers.

  7. A #HumanRights organization is calling for an #IndependentInquiry into #Montreal #police #SPVM after emails show what appears to be the force interfering with an independent report looking into the practice of #StreetChecks.

    The independent study was commissioned by the SPVM.

    A group of several #researchers from different #Quebec universities published the study in 2023 and found that #racialized people are disproportionately targeted by the practice and that a #moratorium should be imposed.

    But the most shocking part of the study wasn’t the findings — it is what high-ranking officials within the force appeared to do to change that conclusion.

  12. @QasimRashid. In 2020, George Floyd, a 46-yr-old black American man, was murdered in Minneapolis by Derek Chauvin, a 44-yr-old white police officer. Floyd had been arrested after a store clerk alleged he made a purchase using a counterfeit $20 bill. Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck for over 9 minutes while Floyd was handcuffed & lying face-down in a street.Two other police officers, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane, assisted Chauvin in restraining Floyd. #RacistCops
