What is going on in Canada? This comes just a few weeks after police apparently assaulted a dainty female black lawyer in the courthouse.
What is going on America, do you support this racism? How would IM2 survive here when police authorities casually throw around the N word and continue to get paid.
The last deputy chief was experiencing an investigation before he retired. We have an ongoing investigation province wide which will expand nationally regarding police corruption, murder-for-hire, fentanyl dealing etc.
There is a reason so many of us are destroyed while they forge notes and weaponize the suffering of others. Phase II and III are going to be a big deal I suspect...

Durham police have suspended a deputy chief after an alleged use of a “racially inappropriate term.”
Chief Peter Moreira issued a statement Thursday evening, saying there was an “incident” during an Afro-Caribbean Canadian Internal Support Network (ACC-ISN) meeting on Wednesday that had been attended by members of the police service.
“A Deputy Chief used language, although not directed at anyone, that was offensive and inconsistent with our values,” Moreira said. “We recognize the impact words can have, regardless of intent. DRPS remains firmly committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive environment where all members feel valued, safe, and supported.”
Moreira said he notified the Durham police board, which is responsible for the discipline of officers. The board decided to suspend the deputy chief with pay.
Neither Moreira, nor the police board specified what kind of language was used. They also did not disclose the identity of the deputy chief.
Sterling Lee, the regional councillor for Ajax Ward 2, said in a statement that the deputy chief had used the N-word during the meeting.
“Let’s be precise, because precision matters here,” he said in a Thursday evening post to X.
“He didn’t misspeak. He didn’t immediately apologize. He casually weaponized it as a superior, from a position of power, in a room full of Black subordinates who had no safe recourse in that moment.”
He connected the incident to the report of a Black lawyer who alleged being assaulted by Durham cops inside of an Oshawa courthouse, saying now the alleged use of the racial slur indicates the “broader disease” of anti-Black racism in the police service.
In his statement, Lee demanded change for what he called a “racially toxic workforce.”
Moreira also said in his statement that the police service is committed to “learning and growing.”
“DRPS is committed to transparency to foster trust with our community, and we recognize that this requires sharing even challenging information as it pertains to our Service,” he said.
