Ah yes, a 14 year old generic BMW. How suspicious. Could these pigs have come up with any more of an obvious lie? This was just flat out racially-motivated assault.

Man, this screams "racial profiling" and "unjustified use of force" and they still want to claim there's no wrongdoing. Seriously, what needs to happen before a police organization goes "Yes, this was excessive and unjustified and we have disciplined the responsible officers" instead of first trying to gaslight the public?
But they said there isn't no racial profiling.
Why would the police lie?
I mean, ignore the thousands of times when they did or victim blamed and ruined their life...
What needs to happen? Apart from a slow burn towards better policing in general, or doing away with the system and rebuilding, I'd imagine at this point likely actual confrontation, deaths that catch the eye of the world, and strong leaders who step up to speak for everyone.
But hey, I'm up for ideas.
If they do it once, the armor is cracked. If the armor is cracked, their whole organization, and the prison conveyor belt all fall apart.
If that later falls apart, then the citizenry will notice the injustice of the next tier more fully, and the cycle continues. Cops are bastards because they more than anyone else prop up injustice because they insulate it.
Citing privacy concerns, police declined to provide any further information about the incident, including the specific kinds of force they used and how Fagan-Pierre is alleged to have resisted.
Hahaha, Jesus, 'Citing how bad it would look, we don't include information on the illegal force usage.'

All Cops Are Racist Bastards
It's OK, everyone. The police investigated themselves, and found no wrongdoing. Case closed!
I was worried for a second there
wasn't this already an episode of fresh prince?
Damn when did Canada join the union?
ACAB is fairly global not just US.
The last time I checked, and it was over a decade ago, police deaths per capita was within 10% of the rates for America.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Khadafi Keenan Fagan-Pierre had just opened the door of a black BMW on the driveway of his home when he saw a Gatineau, Que., police cruiser make a U-turn.
Citing privacy concerns, police declined to provide any further information about the incident, including the specific kinds of force they used and how Fagan-Pierre is alleged to have resisted.
She said Gatineau police are held to the highest ethical and professional standards, and listed numerous measures the force has taken against racial profiling including training, internal directives, a diversity action plan and collaboration with community groups.
His father, who was 69 at the time of the incident, lives in Ottawa and his car has Ontario plates, though police did not mention that as a reason for suspicion in their statement to CBC.
"I looked over where the noise was coming from, and I was petrified to see my son being pinned and rammed by two police officers struggling to put handcuffs on him," said Dian Pierre.
Faubert said Gatineau police have looked into the case and the available documentation, and are unable to conclude that the male officer committed any professional breach during the incident.

Have they tried firing officers who racially profile?
In other news, I just can't seem to stop my room mate from shitting all over my bed. I have tried hosting proper toilet etiquette seminars, posting the "no bed shitting" policy in common areas, and even brought in some experts in how to not shit on your room mate's bed. I guess I just have to make time each morning for an extra long shower.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Racism.
