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

The suspect is also of the same race.

That's messed up.

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.

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.

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

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

Inclusivity in action. Time to celebrate.

The major conflict in Canada now and maybe for the rest of our lives is Palestinians vs Jews.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is putting Canadian multiculturalism to the test

The recent conflict between Israel and Hamas has exacerbated hate crimes in Canada and put Canadian multiculturalism to the test.

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.

Given that Israel is bombing Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and getting the US to bomb Yemen, they are source of way too many conflicts.

and like none could name four others like MS-13, with Salvadoran roots, how many can name the Somalian gangs in our hoods.

Why so many Somali-Canadians who go west end up dead

For the ‘children of the snow,’ the Western dream has become a nightmare. The children of Somalis escaping war in their homeland, they’ve sought prosperity in the oil patch, only to end up immersed in the drug trade – and, often, bloodshed.

Apparently, the suspect is still on the loose.

Let's hope he/she/they surrender peacefully to the authorities/.
