Red Deer Anti-Racism Rally Interrupted By Hate Groups,

[chuckChuck]

Flea apparently doesn't believe in law and order.

Apparently it's okay or justified to kill unarmed people when arresting them if they struggle!

And he is absolutely sure because Floyd was black, that had nothing to do with it!

Even when told by many US police chiefs that racism is a problem in their forces he still doesn't believe systemic racism is an issue.

[ATTACH]6683[/ATTACH]i think chuck and Brenda have a different definition of systemic racism.

I also think Chuck won't acknowledge your post.
I also think he will keep repeating his misinterpretation, oblivious and ignorant to the reality

Systemic racism exists in the RCMP, Commissioner Brenda Lucki says
'I do know that systemic racism is part of every institution, the RCMP included,' RCMP commissioner says

RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki said today that she believes systemic racism exists in the police force she leads — after telling several media outlets this week that she was "struggling" to define the term.

"I did acknowledge that we, like others, have racism in our organization, but I did not say definitively that systemic racism exists in the RCMP," Lucki said in a media statement. "I should have.

"As many have said, I do know that systemic racism is part of every institution, the RCMP included. Throughout our history and today, we have not always treated racialized and Indigenous people fairly."

Lucki said that, as the country's top cop, she has a responsibility to ensure the force is "free of racism, discrimination and bias."

Since the death of George Floyd in police custody in the U.S., police in North America have been facing greater scrutiny about their treatment of minorities and use of violence.

A number of videos have surfaced of police using aggressive force against Indigenous and Black people during arrests, leading to calls for law enforcement to be more sensitive to racial issues.

In the last two weeks, the RCMP has faced questions about some questionable conduct caught on camera.

One officer in Nunavut was seen slamming the door of his vehicle into an intoxicated man. Last night, a video surfaced of RCMP officers punching Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation Chief Allan Adam and putting him in a choke hold outside of a casino. The officer said the chief was resisting arrest. Adam was stopped for driving with expired plates.

"Systemic racism isn't about the behaviour of a single individual or the actions of one person. It's in the institutional structures that reflect the inequities that persist in our society. And it shows up in policies, processes or practices that may appear neutral on the surface, but disadvantage racialized people or groups," Lucki said.

The commissioner vowed to "work hard to address" systemic racism and "overcome it."

The CBC's Rosemary Barton interviewed Lucki days after Curtis Zablocki, the deputy commissioner for Alberta, said he doesn't believe there's systemic racism in policing in Canada.

Asked for her thoughts on systemic racism, Lucki initially dodged the question, saying Canada is a "society where inequalities persist" and the RCMP as an organization "can do better."

When pressed, Lucki said she has heard "about 15 or 20 definitions of systemic racism."

"If it refers to an unconscious bias that exists and we definitely have that in the RCMP and we are not immune to it at all," Lucki said.

She also told Global News she is "struggling with the definition of systemic racism" and then later told the Globe and Mail that "if systemic racism is meaning that racism is entrenched in our policies and procedures, I would say that we don't have systemic racism."

At a press conference in Edmonton Friday, Zablocki said he spent the week Googling terms like "structural racism" and "implicit bias," and speaking with his Indigenous advisory council, and now he feels differently about systemic racism in the ranks.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has defended Lucki in recent days, saying he trusts the commissioner to lead the force at this time. Trudeau appointed Lucki to the job in March 2018.

"I have confidence in Commissioner Lucki and I know that the changes that she has already begun to bring to our national police force, and the work that we're going to be doing together in the coming months, is going to make a huge difference in combating systemic racism and reducing it in this country," he said.

A5 just like you twist and turn most arguments and selectively avoid evidence that dosen't support your opinion you screwed up again reposting only the Lucki quote that supports your opinion.

Read what she said in my previous article to help you understand! What she says supports what I have been saying all along. Suck it up! You lost again! LOL

Are you serious? If so, you are pretty stupid in trying to spin George Floyd's murder at the hands of cops because he struggled! You can deny that racism was not part of the reason why Floyd died all you want but the majority of people will disagree.

Read the wikipedia description of what happened! He was handcuffed on the ground and cop knelt on Floyd's neck for several minutes[a] after he was already handcuffed and lying face down! So because he struggled at the start, his murder was justified? You are a wack job!

"On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old African-American man, was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, while being arrested for allegedly using a counterfeit bill. During the arrest Derek Chauvin, a white police officer with the Minneapolis Police Department, knelt on Floyd's neck for several minutes[a] after he was already handcuffed and lying face down.[7][8][9] Two police officers, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane, assisted Chauvin in restraining Floyd, while a further officer Tou Thao prevented bystanders from interfering with the arrest and intervening as events unfolded.[10][11]:6:24

Floyd had complained about being unable to breathe prior to being on the ground, but after being restrained he became more distressed, and continued to complain about breathing difficulties, the knee in his neck, and expressed the fear he was about to die and called for his mother.[7] After several minutes passed Floyd stopped speaking.[7] For a further two minutes,[12] he lay motionless and officer Kueng found no pulse when urged to check.[13][14] Despite this Chauvin refused pleas to lift his knee until medics told him to.[15]:7:30

The following day, after videos made by witnesses and security cameras became public,[16][17][18] all four officers were dismissed. Two autopsies found Floyd's death to be a homicide.[19] Chauvin was initially charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter,[20][21] to which was later added second-degree murder. The three other officers were charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder.[8][22][14]

Did I say anywhere that Floyd’s death was justified? That is a big fat NO! I said the cop took it too far. The cop should be responsible for his actions. (Murder charge). But in no way can you spin this as racism.

All I said was that some of the blame is to be placed on Floyd. Had he not struggled, he most likely would have been alive today. I did not say his death was ok or justified.

Once again, if Floyd’s death is racism, how come you don’t denounce Tony Timpas death in the same way as racism? This time you can’t say you didn’t know about it, because we had this same discussion a couple months ago.

What a waste of space and peoples time on an Ag forum ... sad

I denounce all violence, hate, racism, and bigotry. Love thy neighbor. Respect everyone.

Now what are we going to do about systemic racism?

But that is the thing. You don't denounce all of the above. Only black lives matter to your agenda.

Fun fact- Actions speak louder than words.

And I am surprised that respect is even in your vocabulary. LOL LOL LOL*
