Systemic racism not present in RCMP, commissioner says, though some members may have bias GlobePolitics

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki is disputing the existence of systemic racism in her organization, saying the real problem is unconscious bias on the part of a minority of officers who fail to abide by the police force’s core values.

She said the RCMP is working to hold to account any member who fails to live up to their obligations to earn and keep the trust of the communities where they work. “We can’t let his life or any other life go in vain,” she said. “Unfortunately, change often happens not in the good times but in the times where there are challenges. We need to step it up and make those changes,” she said.

globepolitics Looks like the Canadians, despite having BlackfaceTrudeau as their PM, are the only sane people in North America.

globepolitics These irresponsible statements made by the RCMP Commissioner provide insight into why systemic racism, in all areas of public administration, has continued for so long...

globepolitics She needs to resign

globepolitics Um ... not true ... listen to them talking about Indigenous people

globepolitics Same thing lady

globepolitics Denial doesn't make it true. Look at your own internal data. Hey, let's look at this study that shows RCMP responsible for the highest number of victims that die due to deadly force. You can lack empathy but your own stats don't lie.

globepolitics Actually this is far more accurate of the root of the PoliceViolence

globepolitics She is so out of touch. If you don't admit to a problem, you are complicit. This is rubbish leadership and she should be fired!

globepolitics This is troubling if the head of the federal police doest believe there is racism in policing in Canada

globepolitics WRONG!

globepolitics All complaints to

globepolitics Stop lying rcmpgrcpolice

globepolitics This commissioner needs to resign. She cannot deny systemic racism exists in RCMP after all we have seen and heard from them and their treatment of indigenous people. Fire her Trudeau!

globepolitics Riiiiiight...because entrenched, mostly white institutions are historically adept at recognizing their own racism. 'Is the RCMP racist? We asked the RCMP, and they said no. Good talk, everybody. Now, on to sports!'

globepolitics That's the first sign that racism is present. Claiming that it isn't.

globepolitics I absolutely agree with RCMP commissioner. I do not know where Trudeau and his ministers got the understanding that systemic racism exists in Canada. We have racism. We have racism, but not as entrenched as it is in the US. Trudeau needs votes

globepolitics Can we fire these people, and get real people who care please.

globepolitics Well then the commissioner is full of crap

globepolitics This statement is problematic already

globepolitics

globepolitics Of course, CommrRCMPGRC can’t find systemic racism in the RCMP’s policies and procedures. It’s outrageous that CommrRCMPGRC doesn’t get it. If there’s a good time to completely reform the RCMP, it’s now and the commissioner has just shown us why.

globepolitics Acknowledging the problem is the first step.

globepolitics The truth about RCMP corruption in McMurray will make the big screen. 14 year olds to seal the deal.

globepolitics disgustingly neglectful headline

globepolitics It’s peculiar that I haven’t heard of one police force that admits to being systemically racist. So why are black men dying at the hands of police? Why did an RCMP officer kneel on a black man’s neck recently. Sorry, I just don’t believe you guys anymore. rcmpgrcpolice Prove it!

globepolitics If true, show us how training, directives, investigation procedures etc are not systemically racist. Someone saying it doesn’t make it true. It’s time to prove it.

globepolitics Liar

globepolitics Dream on.

globepolitics Systemic rasicm.

globepolitics Oh hello! Could someone remind Brenda that the essence of the RCMP's very existence is racism? Thanks.

globepolitics Dreaming in technicolor

globepolitics Canada: racism and police brutality with a smile.

globepolitics

globepolitics 😳

globepolitics Alaberta

globepolitics I see systemic privilege for connected members of the RCMP.

globepolitics Takes courage to speak one’s mind these days. Good for her.

globepolitics Said the privileged white woman...

globepolitics They need to stop denying the reality and the reality is that there is systemic racism in Canada!!! In the police force including the RCMP in the prisons

globepolitics You recently been sue by female officers

globepolitics Define some. How ignorant. Police in Canada is as racist and brutal as US. Montreal Police is a good example. All law enforcement in Canada shoud wear body cam.

globepolitics Some members? Every single human has biases. There may not be systemic racism, but bias and prejudice need to be acknowledged

globepolitics Some members may be biased means they’re racist

globepolitics Well, she did not charge our Black Prime Minister with Juridical interference a few years ago JT would have been put in jail. Progress!

mediaINDIGENA globepolitics sorry, not a few bad apples. Entire tree is rotten.

globepolitics Perhaps she has been hiding under a rock.

globepolitics At least she’s honest about it

globepolitics I guess “bias” is the new word for racism. Nothing will change if our policing forces won’t admit there is a problem.

globepolitics For real? Come on now.. put down the pipe!

globepolitics Not advisable to paint every police officer with he same brush. obviously a big need for Educational inservicing for all members to give a perspective on race gender and poverty perspectives.

globepolitics Really starting to side with the 'defund police' group. When top ranking police won't recognize their own a unti black & indigenous racism in themselves, never mind the country's police forces!

globepolitics Their hiring quotas say different

globepolitics What planet is the Commissioner from to suggest no systemic racism ?Really?

globepolitics Systematic Individual bias is the new systemic racism. Regardless fix the problem...

globepolitics I am appalled at the Commissioner's comments and of her denial that systemic racism exists within the force. Systemic racism is not always obvious to those privileged by the system. This is denialism.

globepolitics Every person has bias.

globepolitics This is so stupid! Of course, there is! It's in every element of society.

globepolitics There never has been!! About time you spoke up and stated that!!

globepolitics We must defund police unions they allow this horrible behaviour to bred. Actually ban all civil service unions, we need accountability for all. nomoreunions

globepolitics Ya there are biased to liberals

globepolitics That's what I thought. It is all talk but nothing is going to happen. They give people the chance to talk about racism and even supported them till pressure is released. No they are turning back saying there was no problem at all 🤬🤬🤬

globepolitics Stand your ground. This whole word game is ridiculous. Are there problems with the RCMP? Yes. So the real question is actually, do you want the RCMP to exist? Clearly some people don’t.

globepolitics 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

globepolitics Wtf? Of course there is?

globepolitics Wow. Just... wow.

globepolitics Any institution to grow, needs to call out their problems. RCMP with this attitude is going to continue the abusive workplace and impact the communities it is supposed to serve. Who oversees the RCMP, our elected government that reports to no one, as House is not sitting!

globepolitics She is racist

globepolitics “May have a bias?” That is a very interesting phrase. So then does a bias get nurtured to become an attitude, which then becomes a way of everyday thought within not only the RCMP or any other organization? If justice is suppose to be blind, how can it have a bias?

globepolitics DefundPolice ACAB... and this is literally why.

globepolitics Bias? At the current pace, within three years *ONE of every THREE* federal inmates will be Indigenous, even though Indigenous people comprise only 5% of the Canadian population. cdnpoli RCMP SystemicRacism

globepolitics This is Bullshit! Racism is present in Canadian Policing! They're just trying to cover up the truth that it all over Canada.

globepolitics Uh-huh. Sure. 🥺🥺🥺

globepolitics If they won’t admit the problems, we can’t begin to correct them. This is horrible leadership.

globepolitics It’s time for this lady to resign and put an end to caped crusader routine! It’s time for a full investigation of this Service and it’s interaction with the LPC! No transparency is left!!

globepolitics I don’t agree with a lot of the things the rcmp have done lately, handling of illegal blockades etc. But I do believe they’re in a thankless position a lot of the times and people these days are way too quick to play the race card to get away with breaking the law.

globepolitics Nor is it present in Canada.

globepolitics Wrong answer.......rcmpgrcpolice

globepolitics Not what indigenous people think

globepolitics Now ask a few people-of-colour mounties. Globe&flail hasn't learned yet that you go to people with experience in the problem first? Truly lousy reporting.

globepolitics Can we please discuss race based crime stats now?

globepolitics This statement also lets the RCMP off the hook (since they are saying racism isn't a problem within their organization but an individual 'bias.' This means there is no action being taken to rid the RCMP of any and all racism like compulsory sensitivity training & careful vetting.

globepolitics MMIW

globepolitics wow. Please fire her.

globepolitics My daughter applied and took the test with 300 males, she was the only female and the only one to fail because she stepped on the line at the finish, sexist much, and I think because her looks make her appear to be more black then white, hypocrites

globepolitics Her statement is factually incorrect. Are you going to publish a companion piece outlining how the RCMP was formed for the explicit purpose of keeping indigenous people on reserves and policing ceremonies?

globepolitics EXACTLY like her boss says? Hrmm, sounds systemic... AboriginalLivesMatter DefundTheRCMP

globepolitics

globepolitics

globepolitics Yes they do they are racist to First Nations people

globepolitics That any racism exists at all means it is within the RCMP. Racism is not just bias, it is hate and is visible when there is brutality against minorities by any police. The wording of this statement obviously is made to 'excuse' such racism, but it's not good enough.

globepolitics Lol the rcmpgrcpolice just love killing native Americans. We live in the age of social media you clowns, there’s no hiding anymore. Get on board or become hated by the very communities you serve!

globepolitics yeah right Derek chauvin said the same thing

globepolitics I love how Canadians always say that we're better than Americans and sneer at their problems. Yet our national discourse is so often just use following American discourse.

globepolitics How dare she ( assuming that’s her gender) day their no racism! CueOutrage

globepolitics There are definitely racists in the force and none of their peers speak out against them. There is a rot in the RCMP which infects them and keeps them from evolving.

globepolitics She's related to important Liberal politicians so she has to blame everyone under her as the problem. It's the Liberal way.

globepolitics She obviously needs to be fired.

globepolitics Does she have qualifying proof ?

globepolitics Good for her. Can we please define systemic racism already?

RCMP to outfit some Mounties with body camerasRCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki​ has agreed to outfit some Mounties with body cameras following a discussion with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in the midst of worldwide protests against police brutality and racism. About time. Whilst assigning others to hit people with car doors. Which ones are the “some”? The ones who have had more than one compliant against them? Or the ones who have never had any complaints? Who decides which ones wear them? Why not all of them?

RCMP Investigate Fatal Pit Bull Attack In Nova ScotiaA local councillor says a resident was killed by a dog near Halifax. Perhaps an “assault-style” dog ban is in order BillBlair? cdnpoli Amazing that the RCMP managed to stop the dog before it killed another 20+ people; I was fully expecting it to give them the slip by running through a field rather than following the road.
