It's a rocky road Benn. One the police leaders have been on for a while. Diversity isn't a problem for the guys on the front lines, but it scares the shit out of the bosses.
A simple solution is to enforce parliament's laws equitably (as per the Charter)but it 'aint gonna happen.
Race/ethnicity is brought into everything.
Six Nations near us is basically a 'no-go zone'. It's the epicentre of huge vehicle theft operation but nobody can touch them. The media don't want to report on it and the OPP won't interfere.
There's much more to this police 'non-engagement' policy with FN's. It's been happening for years and it mirrors federal and provincial political policy.
It's not just the police commanders who have let us down, but the politicians who have appointed them and support them.
No shit. There was a local couple that sued the OPP over non-enforcement of the judge's removal order for the Caledonia protesters. The OPP rank and file lined up just salivating to tell the court how they had been ordered not to engage the protesters and how it was a complete travesty.
The OPP brass? They settled out of court and hit the "That Was Easy" button and heaved a sigh of relief.
when you say OPP brass, you mean sworn officers or their squeamish political masters?
To me it makes a completely different picture.
