Third World conditions right here in Canada, these police conduct themselves as though we live in a Police state. It appears as though they continually deny First Nations their legal rights, ie: forcing their way into a home even when they were denied access, just sad to see. All First Nations that are treated this way in Canada must know their Constitutional Rights, and continue to stand up against this type of treatment. Police all across Canada, must be held accountable for their illegal actions. They are not above the LAW.
very good piece…. I just wish they would have included the part about us working with the Thunder Bay Police… we have had multiple meeting with the Aboriginal Liason from the Thunder Bay Police…. there are initiatives to rectify this situation….. and I commend the thunder bay police force for the help….. more specifically the deputy cheif Andy Hay and Larry Baxter….. There is HOPE
It is well known that Police do not like dealing with aboriginal people. It is also known that
abuse does occur. (Starlight Tours) dropping intoxicated native men off out of town, sometimes in subzero temperatures. Some men have died, freezing to death. This occurs all across provinces in Canada. Since Idle No More movement, the Police now jeer at aboriginals in custody, etc – mocking Idle No More The stigma has existed for so long, it has become commonplace for the state of mind within the Police Departments.
