Black Coalition takes up cop-pushing case

The Black Coalition of Quebec has taken up the case of Bader Niang, the homeless man gratuitously knocked down by police last week. Niang also says the other cop brought his makeshift shelter down on his head before the incident in the video. As observed here by Joel DeBellefeuille, himself a target of police profiling, it’s ironic this happened a day after the police announced an attempt to be more cuddly. One or both officers in the Niang incident are under internal investigation, which generally means that about five years from now they will be given two weeks off.
