Yeah, but doing it while black is a fucking crime. Not sure what he was thinking.

Sad I have to add the /s, just in case.

And it apparently took 6 cops to arrest this dangerous black jaywalker - before one tazered him 3 times...

Its basically a survival tactic in modern society. Cant trust the cops.

Multiple officers kneeing and kicking the guy besides the one tasering him repeatedly. One wonders if most police are violent habitual liars.

"Vancouver", that tracks. Was about to be pleasantly surprised (still am, just not in the way I was hoping).

Some people don’t understand that excessive force is a thing

And then there's the others who do, but just don't care.

Really? For jaywalking? What are the chances the officer would have arrested that person if they had been „white“?

Me? Why's that? I fully support charging/firing bad cops, and believe we should actually hold them to a higher standard than regular citizens. I also support body-worn camera's to keep everyone honest.

That's a terrible and completely inaccurate statement.

Another terrible take. I walked the camp regularly with supplies and Narcan. I helped one of the former campers get on his feet and spent countless hours petitioning and yelling at all 3 levels of government including the Park Board. Not only get some housing/shelter/indoor space online but to support people in the park with showers and a warning hut. My posting history from that time will back that up, as would the former camp KT turned HOPES community liaison.

The only thing I didn't do was ask Chrissy Brett for permission.

have you been to any major north american city because let me tell you about something called the opioid crisis

Shit even outside of the cities there's plenty of drug addiction, it's just less visible than it is in the cities.

you’re right about that one. Here in Canada they offload addicted populations or people migrate to more rural spots like squamish or barrie (two towns close ish to 2 off our major cities)
