Wow, it's crazy that BLM would ask for some of the money behind Pride. The people who run Pride earned their money the ol' fashioned way: by partying, dancing naked in the street, and cashing cheques from corporate sponsors.

Yeah but chill isn't always the best. Sometimes crazy is fun. This is what I imagine crossing the border from canada to the US to be like, for instance.

Instead they opened an Afrocentric school and may or may not have started grading "certain individuals" on a curve to make sure they got into universities they were woefully unprepared to attend.

I mean there was the issue of carding, where police would stop random black people and ask to see ID, which was bad but they stopped it after the protests.

Then like a year ago they shot a mentally ill black dude with a hammer like two seconds after arriving on the scene and there was no charges, but there's a coroners inquest now into the death after protests.

The police also shot a mentally ill brown dude with a knife on a streetcar a couple years ago and the cop was acquitted of murder but guilty of attempted murder so he's only getting four years in prison.

Basically the police love gunning down the mentally ill in Toronto more than anything. There was also that Polish dude in the airport a few years ago.


I guess things are going p. okay compared to the states if the latest issue is "Not enough black trans ASL translators". What do you need an ASL translator at a parade for anyway? I think they'd get pretty tired of signing out "Woooooo!!!" and "Yaaaaay!


But yeah Natives get it far worse considering police (out west especially) have a habit of driving them into the middle of nowhere in the middle of January, taking their jackets and leaving so they died from exposure.

Not wanting cops to have a float at pride parades is pretty legit.

Cops tend not to give a poo poo about keeping LGBT folk safe. Knew of a couple 60 year old gay men who were attacked by a group of university students, and when they went to the police, the cops pretty much said "are you sure you didn't start the fight?"

That being said, this BLM thing in Toronto is a joke, and the way they are going about it is probably the worst way they can go to gain support.

Why are ya'll letting them shut your poo poo down like that?

Does Canada have a history with police brutality against black people that I missed or something?

Though I do like the irony of them doing this in a multicultural city like Toronto

toronto, like any other major city, has a history of shooting mentally unstable people with guns/knives
BLM contends these people are almost always black
statistics suggest they're not necessarily incorrect
however, the SIU, a civilian agency that independently investigates violent police incidents, has cleared the police in nearly every act involving the death of a black citizen
and BLM doesn't like that

yes, sammy yatim was brown.
that incident being the example of where charges are actually being laid against the police

BLM wants more cops charges, less floats, and presumably all police to be boiled in acid

Although the officer was charged with attempted murder. See, he kept shooting after his legal use of lethal force.

How you can attempt to kill a dead man is beyond me. Sound like he panicked and kept pulling the trigger.
