Was that your mamma protecting you Goose? A B.C. Human Rights Tribunal says Vancouver police officers discriminated against an Indigenous mother and has ordered the police board to pay compensation and train its officers about the legacies of colonialism. The ruling says when Deborah Campbell asked questions during her 19-year-old son’s arrest in 2016, she was “roughly and physically separated from him” and warned she could be arrested for obstructing justice. The police board denied during a hearing that its officers discriminated, saying the woman was interfering with their ability to secure the scene, while the officers said she was “escorted” away from the arrest in disputing how rough her removal was. Tribunal member Devyn Cousineau ruled police failed to account for the long history of colonialism and historical trauma on Indigenous Peoples, including the state’s intervention involving their children. She ordered the board pay Campbell $21,500 for costs and injury to her dignity, feelings and self-respect. The police board has also been given a year to train its officers who deal with Indigenous people to minimize the effects of stereotypes and to address Indigenous needs during police encounters with the legacy of colonialism in mind. Story continues below Cousineau says in the ruling issued Thursday that Indigenous people have a troubled relationship with police and don’t trust them, which the Vancouver Police Department spelled out in its own report, Breaking Barriers Building Bridges, released last year. “Ms. Campbell immediately situated the encounter in a historical and present-day context which caused her to be afraid for her son’s safety and perceive the police officers to be acting based on prejudice,” the ruling says. Cousineau says the officers were poorly equipped to meet Campbell’s specific needs as an Indigenous mother and that they interpreted her conduct through the lens of suspicion and stereotype, responding in disproportionate ways. “As a result, Ms. Campbell was rendered powerless and small, and prevented from ensuring her son’s safety,” she says, concluding the police discriminated against the woman on the basis of her race, colour and ancestry. She said the only training the officers received about policing Indigenous people was a half day course in 2015 and three of the officers involved in the incident had never heard of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. “Because of the deep level on which stereotyping and bias operate, there must be an active strategy for resisting it. Here, there was none.”

"What you were doing at 16 jerking off?" No, I actually was personally instrumental in bringing down the President and ending the war in Vietnam. I saved countless tens of thousands of lives by helping defund the war. It is I that should have been on the cover of Time Uh you are in for a BIG surprise. You really stepped into it with that comment. In 1967 me and about a dozen UCLA students planned to disrupt LBJ's fundraising visit to the Century Plaza Hotel thus resulting in funds being cut off for his illegal war on the people of Vietnam. He came to the hotel because all the big Democrat money was coming to the dinner and it was adjacent to Beverly Hills (and 500 yards from my home) by about 300 yards. Read how that worked out for him and why I still have a bit of a minor back issue from a police baton. Yes I helped overthrow LBJ, what did you do? If you don't believe me and want to put your foot deeper in your mouth I can tell you things that even the author of this LA Times report didn't know that weren't in the article which if the LAPD knew about would have landed some of us in the gaol. As it turns out I was later arrested for sedition, burning the American flag, disrespecting the flag and trespassing on United Nations property on Westwood Blvd but because I was 17 they dropped the charges. Feel free to ask, oh boy this will be good and shut you up for good. Oh and don't forget to read the sidebars. My older friend Irv Sarnoff invited me to attend this secret planning meeting in a classroom at UCLA days before we ......well read it and then aplogize. Most important thing I ever did except recently drafting the proposal for the BC 15% foreign buyers tax. latimesblogs.latimes.com
