NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has suggested incident would have had a worse ending if suspect wasn't white

A Canadian police officer walks by Rideau Hall near the grounds of the Ottawa estate that is home to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the country's governor general on July 2, 2020 in Ottawa.The idea that the man accused of crashing into the grounds of Rideau Hall would have been treated differently if he were dark-skinned is disheartening, the RCMP’s commissioner and the head of its union said in a joint statement Friday.

The Mounties have said the suspect was armed and threatening Prime Minister Justin Trudeau but was arrested peacefully after Mounties talked him down for more than an hour and a half on the morning of July 2. Corey Hurren, who is from Manitoba, faces 22 charges, nearly all of them weapons offences related to the guns allegedly in his possession.

The incident at Rideau Hall followed weeks of stories about police officers treating people of colour, especially Indigenous people, harshly, to the point of killing them.

Some people are obviously just trying to stir up trouble over nothing.

So why was Toronto van driver that murdered 10 people talked down by police despite not being white. Global di you have the guts to call out Singh on his race baiting comments?

Yuh mean like when ChiefManak & vicpdcanada imply IndigenousLivesMatter is Anti-Canadian & BlackLivesMatter is anti-police rhetoric? When police try to make citizens out to be anti-police when they are anti-racism & pro so passionate service delivery. copaganda

DCTFTW The 'only' one to blame for this talk is Jughead theJagmeetSingh !

The Chief was yelling and aggressive. Whitey was not.

We don't need more words from this utterly discredited racist club. Disbanding and starting anew is the only possible solution. To many minorities and indigenous peoples, they (The Force) are an occupying colonialist army, only to be dispised.

theJagmeetSingh may have a distorted view on this subject due to altercations his brother has had with the police.

Spin baby Spin. Did you read the NY times this Morning and Justin’s awarding contracts to his charity?

Sigh....if this outcome were indeed the most common then the other comments wouldn't be needed. RCMP must make quiet arrests the norm.

Only one idiot question them

To many, race is the overriding factor in these outcomes. This displays an astonishing level of ignorance or an astonishing level of racism on their part. Either way shame on them.

I'm disappointed Ranger training is that poor. I expect optional objectives to be met efficiently not matter the mission.

Canadian citizens ‘disappointed’ that RCMP officers too frequently murder minority citizens and rape female RCMP officers.

The RCMP detail guarding the GG and PM are probably their best trained officers. Mr. Singh should just have left this at saying this case shows that de-escalation is possible and that he hopes it will be used more often in the future in such situations.

I think the RCMP is more than “disappointed”. Pissed off may be a better description. And I don’t blame them.

It’s the left go-to recipe.

I’m disappointed that the RCMP has been used at whim as a punching bag by politicians and hypocritical self interest groups. In fact, I’m sick of hearing the word disappointed.

Really. A situation is handled well and we are going to try to figure out a way to make it racist. Give me a break.

AnnePet90513683 People should be angry at one man. That reprobate Jagmeet. He’s a race baiting weasel. Talking like he knows the future and what was in the police minds. That pathetic excuse of a politician does nothing but gaslight and behaves with immunity because he wears a turban.

Jagmeet Singh is the racist in chief made his living playing the victim while making six figures and gointo law school compliments of this racist society he is a fraudster plain and simple

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh needs to get off the PC woke left liberal progressive anti-police bandwagon. I know its against NDP and his doctrine but he should find more important things to do with his time.

Just comming from the racist in chief JUGMEET

In a way they are damned if they use excessive force and now they are criticized for handling it correctly. ?

theJagmeetSingh should apologize to the Police force for assuming ALL officers are racist, and to all Canadians for being so racist himself for assuming all officers must be white & therefore abuse all persons of colour, and then wrap it up by resigning & do it all immediately

Call it what it , race baiting by a useless do nothing cop hating NDP leader who can’t find time for parliament but now devoted his day to the media. Singh should be in parliament demanding changes not race baiting in the media.

irinakotlyar5 Does that mean coloured folk might not have given up so easily or police would have said 'Fuck Jagmeat, kill 'em?'

The truth hurts

Hard not to compare treatment unarmed people of colour receive at the hands of the RCMP to this “conversation”, no shots fired event with someone who was white, who had multiple weapons. Racism and sexism - hallmarks of some of the RCMP.

the guy they planted was black, we get it....

Contrast: A Tactical Unit dispatched for a distressed grandfather while being brown in his own home-

That 'talk' was from gmbutts and other liberal_party insiders who don't support Canada's national police force. rcmpgrcpolice

They want to make everything about race...I’m f’king sick of it.

I think Singh’s comment is racist

Seems the Commisioner shit her bed on the issue. Feel very sorry for the members. My Granddad was killed in the line of duty. 1939 W. Service. Members make huge sacrifices. Self criticism should be intelligent & considered. Lucki's was shameful, should resign. rcmpgrcpolice

eamorris_ Only race talk caused by The ever race card Singh .. nothing but race bait on his agenda

eamorris_ I would be disappointed also if I were in the RCMP. very disrespectful! of Singh to say that, very unprofessional!

I'd be more concerned if the quality of the RCMP was anything less than stellar at Rideau. They've likely have more than the average training. Also, they don't see the same behaviour every single day thus becoming indifferent or burned out.

Contrast: This petite young woman also 'in distress' while being Indigenous (police wellnesscheck) Tiny woman in her own home with knife (alleged)--Not loaded handguns or rifles!

now you know what a racist ndp looks like. remember next election

Contrast: Placing a 'distress call' while being Indigenous (police allege armed with a knife) Not loaded handguns or rifles---A KNIFE!

NDP Singh said an accusation without base. When Parliament was terrorized killing a guard, Stephen Harper hidden in closet, sergeant in charge acted swiftly killing extremist . Accuse a racist action never happened, wrong

The RCMP CommrRCMPGRC must investigate Trudeau, TrudeauFamily, CraigKielburger, WECharity MEtoWE

Wow, disappointed? Its crap that’s what it is... cops saved the dudes life as they should try with everyone

Contrast: an expired license plate tag, while being an Indigenous Chief-- THAT IS ALL.

RCMP should be disappointed. Their actions have led to this type of 'talk'. They do a great job in majority of instances but need to be more consistent. Also need to be held accountable when incidents of wrongdoing occur (just like every other police force).

It's a counterfactual claim that by definition cannot be true or false because it relies for its evidence on something that did NOT happen. Posing the issue as a rhetorical question--'I wonder what would have happened if'--would convey the point is a less divisive way.

Michael Zehaf-Bibeau's skin colour didn't save him. These operations are fluid and life-and-death decisions are made in real time. RCMP should be applauded for this. Now go do something about the corrupt government you're protecting. cdnpoli systemiccorruption plutocracy

Hey MSM WHERE IS THIS REPORT?!? Macleans BREAKING: The Nova Scotia shooter case has hallmarks of an undercover operation SHOOTER MAY HAVE BEEN RCMP AGENT: ChildTrafficking Treason USMCA DrainTheSwamp realDonaldTrump WWG1WGAWORLDWIDE QAnon

RCMP lost my benefit of the doubt after the murder of Robert Dziekański at Vancouver International Airport.

Ok cool, everything is racist...we get it. But I’d like to know how a guy got through security & crashed through the gate in a vehicle with firearms? Why is the security so shitty?

Since we can identify the officers, Singh should get them cancelled.

Rcmp was right. Do you need to check their gender too before you make an arrest?

Race is irrelevant. However, religion is a different beast.

There is a whole lot of racists running around pretending to be progressives.

So did he want him dead instead?

rcmp Terrorist trying to kill PM-shoot and kill People not trying to kill PM- DON’T SHOOT AND KILL!

What do you expect from Singh

100 percent !!!

White people are more reasonable.

You can thank the NDP for his lovely statement

Love it. The 'quiet arrest of the armed intruder'.....sounds like the guy showed up a day late for the dinner party. Not a wanna be assassin. Had be been Muslim tho.....

this should be an indication to white Canada that Singh is a racist !! and should never get a Caucasian vote

Maybe because he was a white guy that he was amenable to reason. Ever think about it that way?

So as I understand it, the real racists - like theJagmeetSingh - would’ve preferred him to be shot because he was white?

But but....

but...

You mean these guys?

Trudeau accused of 'humiliating' RCMP by kneeling at anti-racism protest, former police officer saysSocial activists have already accused Trudeau of making a \u0027hollow gesture\u0027, without any substantive action to combat systemic racism RCMP does a fine enough job of humiliating itself. Perhaps if they weren't a racist organization, an anti-racism march wouldn't be 'humiliating' to them. This guy humiliates all Canadians on an almost daily basis Well, that was nice for a laugh anyways.

Witness recalls 'horrible' beating of Cold Lake RCMP officerAn RCMP officer was hit with a baton during an arrest in a Walmart parking lot in Cold Lake, Alta., Tuesday. I assume you'll do a follow up today once charges have been laid and spoken in court. I also assume you'll mention the officers sex, and both races, as you've done when police use force ? I'll just wait here. Thanks.

Singh's Remarks On Rideau Hall Arrest An 'Attack' On Cops: Ont. Police ChiefsSingh suggested the peaceful arrest of an armed Rideau Hall intruder would’ve ended differently if he had been a person of colour. Singh is a racist Anyone who might be thinking 'gee, those police chiefs have a point,' should consider how the families of those POC killed by police must feel about an armed white terrorist being given 1.5 hours to be talked down when their loved one was killed within minutes of police arrival It’s only ding-a-ling Singh, and no one really cares what he has to say!
