I’ve seen a lot of people either ask why Canadians should be talking about police brutality and racism when “it doesn’t happen here” or try to talk like Canada is so above this shit so here are a few examples

The Saskatoon Freezing Deaths or “Starlight Tours” where native people have been picked up by police, dropped outside of the city and abandoned, often resulting in a person freezing to death, have been documented from 1976 - 2003 but I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened a lot more often and has just gone unreported. Neil Stonechild, a Cree teenager, was found frozen to death in a field in 1990 and had last been seen cuffed in a police cruiser. Rodney Naistus and Lawrence Wegner, both native men, were found frozen to death in the same place in 2000, and the same place where Darrel Night, another native man, was left by police, although he survived and the cops were put in prison for 8 months. Two Worlds Colliding is a film about him.

John Joseph (J. J.) Harper, from the Wasagamack Indian Band in Manitoba, was killed by a cop in Winnipeg in 1988 who insisted that the gun went off accidentally, and was later exonerated.

Robert Dziekanski, a polish man immigrating to live with his mother in BC, was tasered to death in the Vancouver Airport by three cops in 2007. Eyewitnesses, including another traveller that took a video of the entire incident (which later went viral), led to the realization that the police had lied about the circumstances surrounding his death.

Dudley George an Ojibwe man murdered in 1995 by an Ontario Provincial Police officer while he was protesting for sacred burial land on which a military camp was built under the war measures act in WWII to be given back to the Stony Point First Nation in theIpperwash Crisis 

Frank Paul, a Mi’kmaq man from British Columbia, was arrested for public drunkenness and left in an alley by two cops, where he died of hypothermia in 1998

Crystal Taman, a mother of three in winnipeg, was killed in 2005 when an allegedly drunk, off duty cop rearended her vehicle.

Anthony Griffin, a black nineteen-year-old, was killed by a cop in Montreal in 1987, which led to discussions of the widespread racism and racial profiling that happens in Quebec and among Montreal police. At the time of his death, his killer had already had to pay fines after allegations of racism stemming from other incidents

Eric Osawe, a 26-year-old from Nigeria with two children, was shot in the back by a cop during an apartment raid in 2010 in Toronto. The police officer responsible for his death was charged with murder, but later exonerated

Duane Christian, a 15 year old black child, was killed in 2006 while driving a stolen minivan. He was shot at five times.

Junior Alexander Manon, an 18 year old black teenager, died in police custody in 2010 due to injuries caused by police in apprehending him and tackling him to the ground. Eyewitnesses, including one that was trained in first aid, said that one police officer had held his arms while another slapped his face, and that it was apparent he needed CPR which they did not perform.

Reyal Jensen Jardine-Douglas, a 25 year old African man with a history of mental illness, was shot and killed by police in 2010, after his family had called to have him taken to the hospital. this article names some other people shot by police under similar circumstances

Matthew Dumas, an Aboriginal 18-year-old, was shot and killed by police in Winnipeg in 2005 for carrying a screwdriver.

Phuong Na (Tony) Du, a 51 year old in Vancouver, was killed py police on November 22nd, 2014, for brandishing a piece of lumber.

Jermaine Carby, a 33 year old black man in Brampton, was shot and killed during a traffic stop on September 24th, 2014. This is a facebook page dedicated to him.

This shit doesn’t happen in Australia.
Because despite our shitty PM, our police force are trained properly.

Hey, fuckface

You wanna pretend Australia is exempt? 

You wanna fucking forget your own terrible history to make yourself feel superior to the states? 

Don’t get too comfortable with your view of Australian cops as good people…

What has happened in Australia is fucking sickening

From 1990 until the Palm Island death in custody of Cameron Doomadgee or Mulrunji in September of 2004, 147 Indigenous people died in police custody in Australia.

Mulrunji was singing “Who Let The Dogs Out” and walking, then he was arrested, beaten by a police officer, and died in his cell.

John Peter Pat, a 16 year old Indigenous boy, was kicked in the head by a cop in a bar fight and died in his cell.

Thomas Hickey, a 17 year old Indigenous boy, died in 2004 after being impaled on a fence while riding his bike. Police officers say he got scared when he saw the cop car and sped up then fell, but eyewitness and the families attest that the police car was pursuing and then clipped him, which caused his accident. 

Ms Dhu, a 22 year old Indigenous woman, died in police custody while being held for unpaid parking fines. She was taken to the hospital twice, but did not see a doctor, and police ignored her cries over a series of days as she begged to be taken to the hospital. Her cause of death could not be determined

Edward James Murray, a 22 year old Indigenous man and avid rugby player, was found hanged in a cell only an hour after being picked up by police. It is unknown whether he committed suicide or whether someone killed him, but the circumstances were suspicious.

From 1990 til now, 340 Indigenous People have died in Custody

An Indigenous woman died in a mandatory alcohol rehab center in the Northern Territory this year. If a person is picked up 3 times for drunkenness in NT, they are forced to go into a treatment program.

Kwementyaye Briscoe, 27, died in 2012 after being dragged into a cell by an officer, suffering a head wound, and failing to be checked for two hours.

So fuck Australia
