Nunavut RCMP say they will conduct a review of an attack against an Inuk man from Kinngait, Nunavut, who was allegedly assaulted while in police custody by another inmate following his violent arrest captured on video earlier this week.

The video — which prompted RCMP to remove an officer from the community and launched two separate investigations — was shot by a bystander late Monday night, sparking outrage from within the territory and beyond. It shows a police officer using the door of an RCMP truck to knock the man over before he was arrested by five police officers.

I'm trying to understand if they are trying to say that Metis doesn't qualify as being indigenous?  Either way the camps were getting out of control... very dangerous driving down Disraeli as of late.

Noticed homeless guy underneath Bishop underpass @ Pembina.

If he was so concerned, why wait until the end of the season?  He could easily quit now... is it because he's not very good and is using this as an excuse to bow out?

London Mayor: Stay Away Because Far-Right Mobs Are Coming

London Mayor Sadiq Khan is warning people to stay away from the center of the city because far-right groups are expected to converge there, raising the potential for violent clashes with anti-racism protesters. “We have intelligence that extreme far right groups are coming to London ostensibly, they say, to protect the statues, but we think the statues may be a flashpoint for violence,” Khan said on Saturday morning. A statue of Winston Churchill that was spray-painted last week was boarded up in anticipation of this weekend’s demonstrations.
