Reposting the article that @_JustinD_ and I wrote about police body cameras, since they are back in the news. TLDR: body cameras do not reduce police racism or violence, and there's a reason it's the police that are lobbying hardest for them. https://t.co/Ea5ZjM0xsd
Avec l'ajout de 450 policiers annoncés aujourd'hui, Montréal dépassera encore plus la norme pour les grandes villes du Canada. Nous avions déjà 33% plus de policiers par habitant. Là nous en aurons 41%. La violence à Montréal n'est PAS le résultat d'un manque de policiers.

A TVA/JdeM investigation finds the SPVM spent twice as much on overtime in the summer of 2021 than 2020. Cops made 2x or 3x their salary during overtime hours. The data are helpful, but the analysis is way off. Some corrections. /1
SPVM director Sylvain Caron is stepping down. His legacy will be turning the attention of the media and city leaders from the demands of the BLM movement to an exaggerated gun problem and then re-introducing the street gang squad - the squad most devoted to racial profiling.
Today marks exactly 100 yrs since Muthoni Nyanjiru was killed at central police station during a workers protest demanding the release of Harry Thuku.
Come book launch hapo KNT on 19th March. Big Part of the problem with us is that we don't know our history. @UkomboziLibrary
It's official. Starting today, people in Nova Scotia can pick up free rapid COVID tests at every single library in that province.
Meanwhile, in Ontario, 24 million rapid tests are sitting on shelves.
RT if you want access to free rapid tests now.
I wrote this op-ed about the violent arrests of the young Black folks in @HamOntESN and the broader context of backlash against racial justice movements
