For anyone that doesn't really know, police terrorize aboriginals. Like literally terrorize them. Some of the worst atrocities are committed by police against them.

The Saskatoon freezing deaths involved Indigenous Canadians in and immediately outside Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, in the 1990s and early 2000s, and are suspected of being linked to actions by the members of the Saskatoon Police Service. The police officers would arrest Indigenous people, who were usually male, for alleged drunkenness and/or disorderly behaviour, sometimes without cause.[2] The officers would then drive them to the outskirts of the city at night in the winter, and abandon them, leaving them stranded in sub-zero temperatures.[3]
That shit started in the 70's. I know because I was living there and knew someone it happened to (he lived).
Man that is so fucked, though I'm not at all surprised that I never heard about it considering how they try to cover that shit up. Thank you for sharing that.
For now, Tom has chosen not to report the incident, citing fear of the police.
Out of this awful situation, I think this is the saddest part. I don't blame her and think her fear of the police is well placed. It's just so sad that even in such a clear case of police misconduct, with video evidence, she still doesn't feel safe reporting it.
As always, ACAB.
And an extra FUCK YOU to the cops for calling her a c___ and threatening her with handcuffs and arrest.
Fuck Winnipeg PD. Bunch of murderous bastards.
What in the fuck? Those videos are wild.
Serious question: can police in Canada just barge into a house without a warrant?
Also, what would possibly be a problem with a kid playing outside?
The call was (supposedly) about an unattended two-year-old outside at 4 am. I don't think that's the questionable part of this story.
I think it was less about a kid being outside and more about an unsupervised kid outside at 4 am. Not justifying the cops actions just clarifying the circumstance.
Thanks, that helps
Seems quite ignorant.
WPD vs SPVM, fight!
