U.S. citizen seeks refugee status in Canada, fears cops will kill him due to his race

[Neil Tyson]

"His goal is to stay in Canada where he says he feels safe and even comfortable enough to talk to police."
It's really not like that lmaooo

The police aren't that bad. If the police are dikks they're likely to be dikks to everyone else.

Firearm-related deaths/100,000 people: USA=10.5 - Canada=2.22
Capital Punishment rate in 2014: USA=34 - Canada=0
Incarceration Rate/100,00 people: USA=698 - Canada=106
Number of police officers: USA=1,220,000 - Canada=67,425

All the odds are in his favour, tbh. Smart move.

lol black folks are 3% of the population and 10% of the population of the federal prison system...........

Great strategy!

The way black men are harassed and set up to falter in this society is shameful... And they then have records from these traps that lead to a diminished quality of life...

I hope it works out for him and he can build a career and sustainable life

He sounds like a hoe. He won't survive anywhere

 

[Jamal514]

He's overreacting big time

I've had some nice experiences with cops in Toronto.
I remember this time I was up there with my cousins and we had walkie talkies to keep in touch. This was late 90's/early 2000's when not everybody had a cell phone plus you were roaming up there if you did. Anyways, some cops got on our frequency and started fukking with us.

"You're using an official police frequency. Change now or be subject to jail time and a fine."
My cuz is like "Well we're American so we didn't know."
"Well here in Canada, ignorance is not a legitimate defense."
We went back and forth like this for a few minutes once we realized they were obviously trolling us. Then they actually came and met us at the coffee shop we were chillin at (one white, one black). shyt was hilarious. Good times. You'll never experience anything like that in Murica.

How do you know what its like bytch. You cant even go outside without extra pampers

 

[Hejdå]

Well the cops are generally a bit nicer here, cept for maybe in Scarborough.

Vancouver though? lol

According to the stats I provided, he's less likely to be killed by a copper in Canada than he is USA, which is the reason why he's emigrating.

maybe they should stop breaking the law

 

[GYAAAL YA PUM PUM FAT!]

Canty admits that he has several outstanding charges in multiple states for things including jaywalking, issuing threats, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest

Was wondering wtf he was tryna achieve with this action until I read the bolded

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Also, I don't think breh really fears for his life. I think he's A) using it as an excuse to stay there but also B) drawing international attention to the still racist ways of Murica. If you don't know, what he's saying would sound outlandish, but he's letting people know, nah, they really are gunning down innocent blacks in 2015.
