Man, 73, says cops beat him up
A 73-year-old man says police beat him and dragged him from his car after he asked the officer to put on a mask during a traffic stop. The details here and the lingering effects the man alleges he has from his treatment are precise and the story is convincing.
Oh, and the man is Black. Surprised?
Quebec is putting some money into training cops not to racially profile, but why the four‑year delay before adding this to police academy training?

Because Quebec regularly throws money at problems to look like it’s doing something, not because it wants to get something done?

Citizens should record every interaction with police.

What if it provokes the police and gets them beaten up, though?

Recording police is a constitutional right in Canada. If it provokes them, al the better to have it on video I guess 🙂

Is there a non-profit that offers legal services/aid to people who sue the police? I think I might like to start donating to that
