Breaking the law: How the state weaponizes an unjust criminal justice system

[chuckChuck]

WE don't all have a PROBLEM, those who do CRIMES have a problem, do stupid stuff...get a stupid prize. I can not fathom how a thinking human would NOT get the fact society has laws? Obey the laws, respect the police and you have NO ISSUES!

No issue? Tell that to the black and indigenous people who are often stopped and harassed by police for little reason except they are a visible minority.
It all sounds so simple. If there was no crime then there would be no racism. And the police never break the law or commit crimes against minorities. We just saw it in several videos! There will be more and more videos.

I’m not the one preaching to the crowd that whitey is to blame for everything.

I didn’t say that, but you seemed convinced racism is not a problem and blacks and indigenous people must be the cause of their own problems?

There are racists and haters of all types all around the world. Denying it is an issue is pretty stupid!

Last time I checked Regina has 6000 black individual. Or less 2§ of popultation. Most arrived last few year so explain black lives matter in Saskatchewan.

Yes Trudeau should take. Aimee for native rights and change the Indian act.

Make a deal and say that’s is it its over.

But chuck you like to make us believe you really care. Move to Cuba it’s nice and you should fit in. Zero police I will be able to deal with any thing I’m locked and loaded. Other might not do as good.

Any one have a Gatling gun.

So what did eight years of Obama do to fix all the problems with Racism.

Exactly what no one is talking about
Trump no angel at all , but he never started any of these b/s riots . And not one war ..... what carnage did Obama and Hilary create around the world ... namely the Middle East ??????
Yup a flood of refugees........ think about what’s going on

The Dems in the states have been soliciting black votes forever, aaaaaaand they've done nothing for them. Hanging carrot type deal. Kinda like conservatives in Canada campaigning for small biz. Nothing changes but it's a good narrative.

It's a chicken and the egg problem. Someone has to be the change, may be unpopular to say but the easiest and fastest way would be for those offenders to quit offending. Pretty simple. There is no way to quickly fix the problems these communities face from the outside, can only be done by themselves for themselves. And anyone who says the rest of society hasnt tried is just a fool. Both blacks and indigenous people are much better off than they were a generation ago and a generation before that. When they complain their lives have been ruined by their grandparents being in residential schools, or being slaves, how can anyone expect to have change in less than a few more generations?

Just some random thoughts.

I have been exposed to all sides of this debate. Went to University with and got to know people of all races and backgrounds, one of the most interesting I go to know very well was one of the original Vietnamese boat people, incredible story of coming to Canada, and the limited options available once here, which drove most of his peers into gangs. He triumphed and was taking engineering as a mature student while working and supporting a family. The opportunities are there, but he probably had to work 10 times harder than any of us to achieve the same thing.

A close neighbor of ours when I was growing up was one of Canada's most famous( or infamous) white supremacists. Us kids and their kids being the same age and good friends, we visited back and forth regularly. And my parents are likely the most tolerant people you could meet, would certainly not be associated with such activities. Never the slightest hint of the vitriol that was attributed to him in the media, never did figure out where the real truth lies. Still know a couple of his children, not a topic that comes up in conversation.

We had a black friend who would come to visit when we were very young, and if Mom hadn't told me later on that he was black, I wouldn't have been aware of that fact in hindsight, just another kid.

Thinking about all the FN people I know well, vs all the FN people the police regularly encounter, and realize that they are as different as is possible. Impossible to draw any generalizations, other than to state that they are at least as capable as anyone else of achieving great things if the motivation is there, and the demotivators aren't.

Misery loves company. Many of the 2 races u worry about resent it when one of their own gets ahead so they try and drag them back down to their level. They love it when they can all get down to the basement level and bitch and complain about how they have been wronged. No one can tell me that a welfare cheque gives u incentive to better yourself. Apparently a way to a better life now is to take what u want by rioting.
