Demand growing for B.C. Mounties to wear body cameras
On Friday afternoon, thousands of people packed Jack Poole Plaza in Vancouver to protest systemic racism and inequality. The rally was the second in Vancouver this week, and was part of a global movement to protest racism following the horrifying death of George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck.
“While there is less documentation of racially-motivated police incidents in Canada, they occur all the time,” states the B.C. petition, started by Melanie Banman.
