I can hear the usual suspects now. The community is over policed. This is racial profiling, etc. etc., etc.
I heard/read somewhere that most victims of black crime are themselves black.

Nothing much new there. In the late `60s and early `70s I lived nearby at Finch/Weston and that area was rapidly declining into a sewer then. Lotsa` gangs, guns and drugs fueled by a ruined culture and community, open your mouth to say anything and you`re next. If black on black crime happens it`s viewed as that`s just the way it goes. I`d expect there are lots of good people still in that large area but what really ever gets done?

You probably read it on TERB. It's been posted here hundreds and hundreds of times.

Personally, I don't think enough of them look like you for it to matter to you.

Delete this thread.

It's based on a false narrative. No source was posted about the community complaining.

Has anybody heard from Desmond Cole and/or the "defund the police" crowd? Mr. Cole loves to bash the police.

"A police community outreach team was also handing out cupcakes, doughnuts and coffee in the centre's parking lot, which is across from the intersection where the shootings took place."

Is it true?

Yes, it's generally common knowledge.

"From the FBI's Universal Crime Report in 2014; 90% of Black people killed were killed by other Black people"

The above is U.S. based but Toronto is unlikely to be any or much different.

'Black-on-Black crime': A loaded and controversial phrase often heard amid calls for police reform

"Black-on-Black crime" is a phrase not only used by white people but also by some Black people calling out crime in their communities.

It's the liberal/lefty media. People, at least in the U.S., are ignoring them.

It says the victim came to Canada last November. Systemic racism sure works fast.

The suspect is also of the same race.

Most crime is same colour on colour. People are most comfortable victimizing those that are most similar to themselves.

Of course the sensationalist right media is much more entertaining for the dimwhits who like to get riled about angry racist redneck themes and pedophile pizza horrors. They find the intelligent discussion of real issues boring.

 

[Darts]

Long story short, two innocent men got shot with one dead.

Anyway, it's good to see the community welcoming the police instead of the usual "defund the police" rhetoric from the wolkie/lefty crowd.

Not sure about "most" but I heard that some South Asians are victimizing other South Asians.

Given the history of the Palestinians in Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Egypt (and others I'm sure) I think the major conflict in Canada will be Palestinians.
