"Meanwhile in Canada" trending on Twitter. Cacs will act oblivious to racism here. They're complicit in the problem


Canada is just as racist

zero black leadership
Blacks And First Nations in jail at a high rate
Every ghetto in Toronto is filled with black folks

Trudeau blackface and nothing
Blacks have the worst jobs live in the worst areas

carding remember carding?
Police brutality but siu clears everyone

'There’s a whole lot that I want to say,' Saunders says of Toronto woman's fatal fall

Saunders is trash but they're saying relatives called in a mental health crisis

Wasn't man calling for Shaun King also a relative?
Yeah i'm on the fence with this one as far as protesting so far... her mother admitted she was trying to put netting on the balcony for weeks prior to this incident which suggests she perceived a risk of suicide. there's no clarity here of what really happened. the cops botched the call regardless because they were brought into aid the family and secure her.

Why are we not hearing about body cams? If the police were the only ones in her room when she fell. A body cam should have caught that. A police officer also immediately lied to the mother and said that she was at the neighbours house then said she was on the ground immediately after the mother asked him again.

The situations is tough but I can't pin it as police brutality yet when it might be police incompetence. That's a major difference. One is murder and the other is a failure to secure/aid someone in crisis. Overall the police still have to answer because they have an established pattern in the city of botching mental health related crisis calls involving Black men. We can't forget the dude that was shot in his mothers house in Brampton.
