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

1. You are wrong.
2. Then write Kenney and RCMP Commissioner.

Did you read the Truth and Reconciliation Report and the one on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women?
There are lots of details in there that clarify how systemic racism affects indigenous Canadians.

1) good argument.
2) Once again, I agree with you that there is racism in the world. Writing Moe, Kenny, or the RCMP commissioner isn’t going to change anything because I already agree there is racism in the world. (Look at your statement about white male farmers. Not only racist, but also sexist.) I don’t believe any of them said that it was because of that racism that any one group is faltering? Maybe I missed that?

I admittedly didn’t read your cut and pastes, as i don’t most times, but if fjlip’s summary is correct, it kinda supports my side don’t you think if 70% of the crimes were done by their own people?

Oh, and you still haven’t addressed those points I have been hounding you to address. You brought them up after all. It is starting to show through that you aren’t very good at debating. As to have a debate, both sides have to you know...debate.

ALMOST 70% murdered by other indigenous males....FIX that first!

Chuck can you confirm with a study or something? Is that right ?

[fjlip]

One of the major findings of the 2016–2019 National Inquiry's forensic audit by the FDRP team based on the analysis of police records and reports, hundreds of documents, and thousands of files—a number of which that were subpoenaed, was that the "often-cited statistic that Indigenous men are responsible for 70% of murders of Indigenous women and girls is not factually based".[41]:249[53] According to the June 3, 2019 National Inquiry final report, "the statistics relied on in the RCMP’s 2015 Report are inaccurate and provide a misleading picture of the relationship between offenders and victims in cases of homicides of Indigenous females. The empirical basis for the claim set out in the 2015 Report is an analysis of the narrow statistical data on 32 homicides of Indigenous women and girls within RCMP jurisdiction in 2013 and 2014."[41]:249

Forensic Document Review Project (FDRP)

In response to the overwhelming concerns expressed by the families who gave testimonies to the National Inquiry, who believed that police investigations were "flawed" and that police services "had failed in their duty to properly investigate the crimes committed against them or their loved ones", Forensic Document Review Project (FDRP) was established to "review of police and other related institutional files".[41]:233 There were two FDRP teams, one for Quebec and one for the rest of Canada. The second team reviewed subpoenaed 28 police forces, issued 30 subpoenas, reviewed 35 reports, obtained and analyzed 174 files consisting of 136,834 Documents representing 593,921 pages.[41]:233
Significant issues

One of the most significant findings identified by the Forensic Document Review Project (FDRP) was the fact that there was no "reliable estimate of the numbers of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA persons in Canada."[41]

The second finding of significance concerned the 2014 and 2015 RCMP reports on missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls" which "identif[ied] narrow and incomplete causes of homicides of Indigenous women and girls in Canada".[41] Thirdly, the FDRP said that "often-cited statistic that Indigenous men are responsible for 70% of murders of Indigenous women and girls is not factually based.[41][81] Fourth, "Virtually no information was found with respect to either the numbers or causes of missing and murdered Métis and Inuit women and girls and Indigenous 2SLGBTQQIA persons". Fifth, "Indigenous communities, particularly in remote areas, are under-prioritized and under-resourced". Sixth, "[t]here is a lack of communication to families and Indigenous communities by police services and a lack of trust of the police by Indigenous communities." Seventh, "[t]here continues to be a lack of communication with and coordination between the police and other service agencies". Eighth, [d]eaths and disappearances of Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people are marked by indifference. Specifically, prejudice, stereotypes, and inaccurate beliefs and attitudes about Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA persons negatively influence police investigations, and therefore death and disappearances are investigated and treated differently from other cases".[41]:234

" The truths shared in these National Inquiry hearings tell the story-or more accurately, thousands of stories - of acts of genocide against First Nations, Inuit and Metis women girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people. This violence amounts to a race based genocide of Indigenous Peoples,including First Nations, Inuit, and Metis, which targets women, girls,and 2SLGBTQQIA people. This genocide has been empowered by colonial structures,evidenced notably by the Indian Act, the Sixities Scoop, residential schools, and breaches of human and Inuit, Metis and First Nations rights, leading directly to the current increased rates of violence, death and suicide in Indigenous populations".

I’m pretty sure your numbers are a little low.

Sadly, recently young Indigenous women have been implicated in other young murdered Indiginous women.

Drugs, alcohol and prostitution are symptoms of deeper causes, which are likely because of reservations, poverty, lack of education.

Awareness and personal responsibility are key.

More will need to be done than just identifying the causes and problems, action....and much of it will have to start at home.

Destructive behaviors and lifestyle cycles need to be broke.
