Not good. They get preferential treatment most of the time. DO you even know what a "sentencing circle" is?
For a democracy to operate successfully everyone must be treated equally. That means no special deals based on race. No promotions based on gender rather than merit. No get out of jail free card because of a bad childhood.
The background of the victim or the criminal is totally irrelevant.
Yes the first nations people gets lots of free trips to jail.
btw Colpy. Your lie is laughable
that "edict" came out because of a long history of disproportionately severe sentencing of First Nations people, you blockhead.
Of 14,624 inmates across the country, 3,723 are aboriginal people. In the Prairie provinces, 48 per cent of federal inmates are aboriginal people. For aboriginal women, the numbers are even higher. According to the most recent statistics, more than 36 per cent of women in prison are of aboriginal descent.

What that shows is that Indians are stupider criminals and get caught more than other races.
Had they thought at all they would have been quick to delete Colton's FB page considering that he outed himself as someone the law needed to keep an eye on. Had they thought at all they would not be involved in defrauding their own reserve. Had they thought at all they would have raised Colton to be a responsible member of society.
I think there's a deeper story going on here.
Our PM is all about trying to find the 'root causes' is he not? How about this...
A spoiled, entitled native youth who has been taught that the world owes him, downs a 40 ouncer...hops into a car with a shotgun...then goes on a stealing spree road trip.
And when it all goes badly, his family comes to Ottawa to speak to an entitled Prime Minister who took a $250,000 vacation to visit the Aga Khan.
Then they get together and cry out that the system is broken and needs to be fixed.
Meanwhile a hard-working farmer has become the scapegoat for decades of government mismanagement of the indigenous file.
Inconvenient truths can be painful.
If the PM wants to discuss 'mending fences', he should probably consult a farmer named Gerald Stanley...because that's exactly what he was doing with his son on the day in question.

It's not OK, but to be a crime there has to be intent!
Pretty close...................More than anything else Trudeau is concerned about his own popularity. Anyone with half a brain can see he's as transparent as glass!
If you want to make a fair comparison of Indians to Whites, then you have to remove alcohol from the equation. How much difference would you find if teetotaling Indians were compared to teetotaling whites? Probably none.
Meh, the alt left in the US tried to make heroes of Treyvon Martin and Mike Brown.
Shows just how stupid they really are. :lol:
Nope.
The actions, intent, and presence of weapons with the victim are the main factors in deciding if the shooting is justified.
If Stanley had STFU when the police arrived, the presence of a loaded rifle would have meant charges would not have been pressed.
As it is, he was found "not guilty" and is therefore "not guilty".
The Crown knew from day one they'd never get a conviction on a man protecting his property and family from the IP.
If it came out immediately that they were IP 3 witnesses would have never walked away with no convictions for their testimony.
A Native man shooting a gangbanger robbing his property wouldn't have been convicted either.
Now we still have 3 gangbangers on the street thinking they are invincible.

'Appalling' comment on Colten Boushie's death probed by RCMP

OTTAWA — The RCMP says it will undertake a code-of-conduct investigation into a private Facebook group posting by a person believed to be an officer who reportedly said Colten Boushie deserved to die.
A report on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network says an RCMP officer on the Prairies posted the message, which says the shooting of the 22-year-old Indigenous man on a Saskatchewan farm should never have been about race.
Boushie died when he and four other people drove onto Gerald Stanley’s farm near Biggar, Sask., in August 2016.
Stanley was charged with second-degree murder and faced trial in Battleford, but was found not guilty by a jury last Friday.
A statement from RCMP National Headquarters in Ottawa says the social media posting is antithetical to the force’s standards and the Facebook group mentioned in the report is not managed by the RCMP.
Federal Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale says the remark is unacceptable and there will be consequences, depending on the outcome of the investigation.
“This should never have been allowed to be about race … crimes were committed and a jury found the man not guilty in protecting his home and family,” the post said. “Too bad the kid died but he got what he deserved.”
APTN did not disclose the person’s identity, but said two sources shared screenshots of the posting and revealed who the officer is.
The message has since been deleted from the site called “News Stories that Matter to or May Impact RCMP,” which has 1,200 members who must answer questions posed by an administrator about their policing careers before being admitted.

The RCMP’s statement in response to the story said on- and off-duty members must behave in accordance with the force’s code of conduct and that a member’s use of the internet for social networking is subject to the same standards.
It said members must avoid compromising the integrity of the RCMP or portraying themselves or the organization in a disgraceful or discreditable manner. When concerns about disrespectful content believed to be written by an RCMP employee are raised, “they are and will be investigated and addressed.”
“Public trust is essential for the RCMP to effectively fulfil its mandate. As a result, RCMP employees are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that meets the rightfully high expectations of Canadians,” said the release.
Near the end of the Stanley trial last week, Saskatchewan RCMP sent out a statement reminding people to work together “in a spirit of inclusiveness and understanding.”
“The RCMP is once again reminding people that they can and will be held responsible for their communications, both in-person and on-line, and police will investigate any complaints of suspected criminal behaviour,” it said.
Goodale said he has talked to the RCMP about what he calls an “absolutely appalling” remark.
“The facts are being determined and examined,” Goodale said. “If they turn out to be what they appear to be, this is unacceptable and there will be consequences.”

Lets jump on the bandwagon while it's warm
Mom wants answers in police killing of son
Those of you closer to this story can you please give some background on this case I'm assuming another bad decision made in a situation that should/could have been avoided

When Trudeau schedules the meeting with the parents of the man killed, we'll get the whole, unbiased and objective story
