Who could have guessed that the police, created as slave catchers in eastern Canada and kidnappers/traffickers of Indigenous children, would regularly perpetrate Charter rights violations?

"“C-IRG and CRU aren’t just coming in for emergencies,” she said. “They’re willing to rewrite the playbook for militarized policing and policing in Canada.”"
CRU is working its way up to ICE-style domestic invasions. They will get worse if we don't abolish them.

"[CIRG/CRU] seemed to operate with “a sense of lawlessness and impunity” beyond what he had seen from regular police forces."
CRU have been allowed to perpetrate genocide on Wet'suwet'en and brutalise anti-genocide students. They will get worse if we don't abolish them.

More money for police will only ever make us less safe.
Safety and freedom are not possible while our governments continue to pay for police brutality, particularly at the expense of things that actually provide safety: housing, healthcare, and education.

Police are sexual abusers at higher rates than the general population, in part because being a cop requires them to believe that their use of violence is justified. This is a foundational problem with policing and can not be fixed through reform.

Police can't and don't create safety, they only perpetrate violence and create trauma.
Real safety is in meeting people's needs for housing, healthcare, and education.
My condolences to the family. 💔

Housing is a great deterrent against crime. #vanpoli #cdnpoli #defundthercmp #defundtheVPD
The NWMP/RCMP were created to kill or otherwise clear Indigenous Peoples from their Lands. This remains their core purpose. #cdnpoli #defundthercmp
@rcmp_grc continues to intimidate a grieving mother whose son Tyrell died over a year ago after being shot at. We hosted an event in East Preston for Mothers Coming Together, which is the same day the cops showed up at her home. #defundthercmp #justicefortyrell www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
When you work for a systemically racist organisation, you are racist. This includes all the admin/support staff for cops too. #acab #defundthercmp #abolishthepolice
Sorry: this began in 2021? And they learned about it in 2023… then acted on it the next year?? Were the Mickey Mouse Club too busy hassling Indigenous people? (It’s rhetorical.)

After my LAST dealings with these corporate security fkn bullies > I'm all for defunding. They do NOT Work for You or Me. Corporate fkn bullies
Police can not provide safety, only violence. These murders by police are not an accident, they are by design and part of canada's ongoing genocide against Indigenous Peoples. No mum should lose her child like this. #defundthercmp #CanadaSoRacist
