A mother in Winnipeg says a confrontation with police has left her and her family shaken.
Charity Tom, who is Sayisi Dene, says on May 21 at around 4:00 a.m., she awoke to the sound of banging on her door. It was the Winnipeg police.
An officer told her they received a call about an unsupervised child roaming outside. Tom told officers they had the wrong house and that her children were sleeping inside.
Tom said a few minutes later, police officers knocked again and then entered the house.
Now multiple police are entering the house. One is struggling with Tom.
Charity: What’s the badge number?
Police: Get up. What’s your name?
Charity: Charity
Police: You wanna get the cuffs?
Charity: No, I just told you
Police: So then stop acting like a c*nt

For anyone that doesn’t really know, police terrorize aboriginals. Like literally terrorize them. Some of the worst atrocities are committed by police against them.
Saskatoon freezing deaths
That shit started in the 70’s. I know because I was living there and knew someone it happened to (he lived).
Man that is so fucked, though I’m not at all surprised that I never heard about it considering how they try to cover that shit up. Thank you for sharing that.
