I’m indigenous Canadian, brown skinned long haired big tall dark 100% Ojibway Cree on both sides of my family from northern Ontario.
Unless you are white Caucasian, dealing with law enforcement is always a risk. As a teen and young man, I was always a suspect every time I dealt with the police, a criminal that had to prove on my own that I wasn’t. And I was one of the lucky ones because I had a lot of older family look out for me. So many of my friends who didn’t have the same protection just ended up miserable as they got trapped inside the system. They grew up being treated like criminals that no one was surprised that they became criminals.
