That's another great question. How to answer that in 30 seconds?
In this sense, I would say that the police are clearly a product of our environment. We need to deal with issues of systemic racism within our own society.
Again, that can be dealt with by starting right from the beginning with training and demonstrating that individuals who come from racialized communities do have to deal with additional structural barriers that have an impact on behaviour. As a result, we do all want to feel that we should be treated the same, but there needs to be a recognition that there are certain segments of our population who are not afforded that. The police need to be well versed on our colonial past as well as our enslavement past in Canada. Perhaps that might increase the level of understanding of the social context of Black and indigenous communities.
