Il est dangereux pour nous tous de saper la confiance dans la police
Alors que la rhétorique anti-police au Canada s’est intensifiée ces dernières semaines, j’avoue que la police montée en moi a été mise en colère. Non pas à cause de ce que l’on pourrait supposer – que je refuse de reconnaître que de graves erreurs ont été commises, ou que je suis désireux de laisser les dirigeants de la police s’en tirer à bon compte – mais plutôt à cause du volume de critiques rapides, faciles et à courte vue émanant de nos politiciens et de nos experts, dont la plupart ont été formulées sans aucun équilibre ni nuance.

Systemic Racism in the RCMP
There seems to be some confusion about what ‘systemic’ actually means with some journalists even using the term as a synonym of ‘systematic’. Systematic is anything done methodically, according to a plan, or utilizing a system. Systemic means involving the whole body or organization. To be systemic in the RCMP, racism would have to permeate the whole organization, be part of the both administrative and operational policy, and be universally and consistently pursued by the organization’s management.
