Ooooooooooooh careful, you'll give the other one a swelled head!
On CBC TV this afternoon there was a discussion panel on the matter. They were nowhere near as concerned with the verdict as they were with the process, which in its entirety is haywire. The jury was just the final stage. It was agreed there was discrimination in the entire system starting a lot of times with the arresting officer as far as justice process goes. Actually it is running rampant through all levels of gov't from medical care and education to drinking water and housing. The entire process has to be reformed.
From a financial standpoint not an unreasonable sentiment. It could mean an investigation resumes at huge public expense and possibly another trial at huge public expense.
They are now.
Well except for natives, who often get off easy in sentencing because they are natives.
That comment expressed by the panel is speculation at very best.
Without someone like the arresting officer admitting/stating that they acted in a discriminatory manner, these folks on the panel are doing nothing more than projecting their theories or ideals onto the situation and pretending they are somehow factual
In many, if not most cases, the individual FN communities are demanding that they be fully in charge of the financial resources to develop their communities (read: roads, community buildings, water treatment, etc) otherwise the screams of racism and discrimination are heard at high volume.
Inexperience, inefficiency or possibly greed/fraud has played a major role in those funds raised from the public at large, not being deployed in an effective manner.
One need only look at Attiwapiskat to see how the average person on that reservation suffered while the select few at the top lived just fine
That said, this idea that racism and/or discrimination relative to the FNs in Canada is more of a myth more so than it being the standard
Sentencing Circles.... What other culture in Canada has Federal approval to side-step the judicial process and apply their own remedies?
I think we have to agree to disagree on this. While I have respect for the majority of cops, I've come across two or three in my time who have acted like real assholes when I've given them no reason to. I'm not sure how to correct this situation but I have no doubt there are a few cops who shouldn't be cops. Makes me wonder how the cops I had trouble with would act if they came across a drunken F/N. who was hurling insults and spitting on them. Doesn't take much to imagine they could get physical.
I guess its everyone in the country who is upset about this trial who is wrong and you and the climate change deniers who find it just who are in the right.
I honestly don;t know why you people even live in this country.
You hate everything about it,

I took a training course to become a trainer in crisis management, handcuffing, edged weapon defense, and some basics of law.
The instructor had been a Toronto police officer for 22 years, and then training officer for both the OPP and Toronto police services.
He amazed me once when he said (and I quote) "There is something about police work that attracts exactly the wrong kind of people"
Wow.
From a guy that should have had COP tattooed across his forehead.
Very competent.
I've known a lot of cops in my time, professionally and socially, and while some are very OK, most are like us all (good and bad) too many can only be described as arseholes. Including a guy hired from my armoured car company only because he was non-white.
"Diversity is our strength" So stupid.
Actually, I absolutely love this country, and am trying to argue against the post modernist morons currently in power and trying to destroy everything good about it.....prosperity and individual freedom.
Do people realize he was IP? Indian Posse. These guys are so f-cked CSIS is on their asses. They even have an acronym ABOC. Aboriginal-based organized crime.
They are the Native version of the Klan.
Are you saying that you know for a fact, that FN individuals are treated in a discriminatory manner based on race?
What I am reading here is that you were treated poorly by a cop for no reason that you were able to indetify... My next question is; Are you visibly a FN individual?
If not, that says much about the discriminatory nature of that specific officer and I can't help but wonder how this example leads you to believe that FNs are therefore treated in a discriminatory/racist manner
How might those cops react coming across a drunken Asian, Caucasian, Arab or Black individual?
You are projecting your theory exclusively onto 1 demographic and ignoring all other possibilities
