WTF is going on in NovaScotia ?

Great job encryption.

LOL but the RCMP officer who an indigenous get promotion , & 2 offices who jump an indian are still in the force ,,,, WTF

It's a dangerous job no doubt. Could have gone either way for the assailant/officer. Such complexity for the RCMP atm as they try to protect communities. NS shooting. No inquiry NB deadly force usage. No inquiry Denying systemic racism 'Conducted energy weapon' aka taser

PressTitutes why don’t u include the ethnicity or color of this attacker You have been doing that for the last 3 wks in every case involving rcmpgrcpolice using legal force to control violent people CDNpoli BlackfaceTrudeau

I hope the RCMP officer is okay.

They should take him out back and show him what's up.

So the cops supposedly get complaints from a guy about threats and an intruder. They show up and the guy just attacks them, tries to steal their guns, and then locks himself in his own home threatening to shoot them. I don't buy this picture.

This isn’t about racism. Delete it now

RCMP should institute zero tolerance for excessive use of force, AFN Chief Bellegarde saysCalls for police reform come in the wake of recent shootings of Indigenous people and ‘assault and attack’ on First Nation chief Allan Adam; Prime Minister Trudeau says he’s committed to doing more on police reform but needs time Cheif should institute zero tolerance for acting like a drunk idiot when dealing with the police Should also be zero tolerance for AFN Chiefs who are drunk and disorderly as the full video clearly showed (not condoning RCMP, just surprised no one is bothered by a chief acting that way) Probably good to send out an email to all FN stating probably best not to come charging out of your vehicle, ripping your coat off, asking to fight and calling the cops racists.....that could help Perry.
