Commander quits SPVM, denouncing racism

Police commander Patrice Vilnéus, a Black man of Haitian origin, has resigned from the SPVM after 30 years with an open letter denouncing its chronic ingrained racism.

Update: The SPVM claims it’s making efforts to address racism. This kind of promise has been made periodically the whole time I’ve done this blog (nearly 23 years now) and I suspect it will continue to be made from time to time, with little effect.
