This is bullshit.

If you have racial prejudices you are fundamentally unable to enforce the law fairly.

[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

And yet......

Police forces don't exactly pull in the best people in the country.

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Well we can and should do better.

[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Oh, no, absolutely! You'll hear no arguments from me on that front.
The fact that STILL First Nations people are unduly targeted by police across Canada, and are less likely to be believed when they're victims if they're even engaged with at all by the police..... In many ways Canada doesn't deserve the reputation we have globally.

That was 100% one of the cops that were just hanging out with the convoy inbreds.

Here's another Hamilton cop charged with possessing and transmitting child sexual abuse material.

was also involved in youth programs funded by ProAction Cops and Kids and his work was recognized in two of the charity's annual reports. He won awards.

and incredibly, suspended without pay.

Carney's famous canadian values

Mark Carney runs the Hamilton Police? Who knew? you think it was because of his socks?

[-] ArmchairAce1944@lemmy.ca -1 points 2 days ago

I voted for Carney last election. I wish I would have voted NDP or communist just to have a clear conscience. He is a slave to money and those who protect money and nothing else. He does not care for Canadian sovereignty in so far as companies just want Canada to remain nominally independent to maintain their current interests. If it served their interests better for Canada to be annexed by the US He would just be a more articulate PP.

Like the other said, didn't realize carney was the Hamilton police chief.

If he didnt care about Canadians would he have hired Gregor Robinson as housing minister after he single highhandedly made Vancouver affordable again, or would he have kept Sean Fraser and Mark Miller as ministers after they succeeded so spectacularly in their previous roles?

Checkmate.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Mexican

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Only Americans think that isn't white.

[-] Goldenring@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

I'm not American. I asked to other nationals. They don't think this guy is white.

[-] Smaile@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Spanish people are Caucasian.

[-] Goldenring@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Spanish don't use the word caucasian.

[-] Smaile@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Spanish isn't a race, it's a country and national identity. I usually just say Im white, doesn't mean I'm right, nor the Spanish either. Because we're both technically Caucasian.
