Earlier this month, a Quebec Superior Court judge ruled in a class-action lawsuit that racial profiling is a systemic problem in the Montreal police force, and that the city is responsible for profiling committed by its police officers. Justice Dominique Poulin ordered the City of Montreal to pay $5,000 to people arrested without justification and racially profiled.

The force has also released two reports since 2019 showing that racialized people are disproportionately targeted by police during random street checks.

“I have never believed that there’s systemic racism in the police,” he told reporters.

Not credible (his superior, not the guy in the headline).

Almost like a country, system and organisation founded on racism etc is always going to have that problem, not to mention that along with that comes a good deal of needing to find 'wrongdoing' to justify their existance.

This system and these organisations are rotten to the core and need to end.
