Canada has its share of police abuse-- however, they try to remedy it.

The Canadians use an independent investigative body to review police conduct, in this case the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) of British Columbia.

If no independent review body in that province exists, a separate police service investigates the police conduct.

2. If Sgt Preston did try that shit, King would have bit him.

The RCMP has its fair share of problems dealing with the indigenous people in Canada, as well as misogyny in the ranks, but the Canadian govt has been taking steps to deal with it.

4. PSPS: You have an excellent memory.

Seems like the law-enforcement agencies with an internal colonial past have problems with brutality (e.g. US, Brazil, Canada). But Canadian law-enforcement on the whole is slow to pull a trigger:

5. This happened in 2017

Why is it just coming to attention now?

Plus, the man died from being pepper sprayed, the non-lethal alternative. Right?

6. Dale Culver was killed by the RCMP in 2017. But only now has the govt decided to

press charges against the officers.

The wheels of justice grind slow, but they do grind. The family of Mr Culver has been waiting a long time for this.
