concerned for itself. (fr) [machine translation]
"Now, have the serious and repeat after me:" I thought he was armed. ---- Michael Brown
(Ferguson 18), Eric Garner (New York, 44 years), Tamir Rice (Cleveland, 12 years) and
Rumain Brisbon (Phoenix, 34) are just a few examples of racist murders by US police in the
last year. For each of these killings, the police officer in charge was completely
bleached and many were not even, at a minimum, put on trial, "justice" American covering
every time the acts of its armed wing. To add insult to injury, the man who had filmed the
murder of Garner was charged. The staggering number of examples leaves no doubt. These are
not isolated cases but of institutional racism. 1098 on murders committed last year by
police in the United States, the number of murdered black is 21 times the number killed
whites. In addition, nearly 50% of these murders were committed against people with
psychological disorders, and 40% against the unarmed people. [1] Social and racial
profiling causes simple skin color greatly increases the chances of deadly police attack.
Instead of stopping the killing and letting people show their anger, the police and the
state increase more beautiful the use of repressive violence: 283 demonstrators were
arrested of two nights in New York at demonstrations to denounce the murder of Eric
Garner. Even repression Ferguson (Missouri) and Berkeley, California, in actions to
protest against racist murders. By dint of undergoing repeated abuses by security forces
and see the total absence of justice, many people in the population have naturally decided
to take justice into their own: Two attacks against police officers took place, the one in
New York and one in Florida, killing three of them.
In Quebec, these events are afraid the president of the Police Brotherhood of Montreal,
Yves Francoeur. Do not forget that the police killed here as well and the justice system
stifles equally where police brutality is fatal (Villanueva, Guy Blouin, Terry Lalo, to
name a few). Francoeur fears for the safety of the police: '' If our police are not safe,
it will be difficult to ensure the security of citizens is our reason first. '' [2] It is
surely for his safety Guy Blouin has been hit by a police car that Villanueva was shot and
killed while playing marbles with his brother, or that hundreds of students have revealed
clubbing, gassed and wounded by police during peaceful demonstrations. The police do not
need to feel threatened to kill, since they have all the rights guaranteed by the state.
Horror of horrors ''. According to him, the police are not immune from attack because of
the multi-ethnic character of Montreal '' According to the statement, any person resulting
from ethnic minority is considered as well as a threat, a potential danger to police
officers, and is the cause of all problems, creating a clear division (in their eyes)
between "dangerous ethnic minorities" and white citizens. This is the perfect example of
how institutionalized racism does not exist than our southern neighbors. Between 2006 and
2007, a Montreal young black was 4.2 times more likely to be challenged by the police that
a young white. In Outremont, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and the Plateau Mont-Royal, statistics
show an increased risk from July to November times in the probability of being harassed in
this way. [3] With such a statement of Yves Francoeur, the situation will not improve.
Down with the police state and all forms of oppression!
