In the midst of a global uprising against police brutality and systemic racism, No Visible Trauma examines a deeply troubled police department and reveals the devastating consequences of unchecked police brutality. Despite its relatively low crime rates, recent years have seen the Calgary Police Service shoot and kill more people than officers in any other Canadian city, and more than either the New York or Chicago police departments in 2018. Five years in the making, the film unravels the intertwined stories of three individuals who were the victims of extreme violence at the hands of police officers. From the kidnapping and beating of a young immigrant from Ghana, to the fatal shooting of an unarmed man during a “wellness check”, the film exposes a criminal justice system that fails to hold police officers accountable for their actions.

This doc focuses on CalgaryPD but the issues raised are happening across AB, in BC, Manitoba, Ontario & many more places across Canada. Canadian cops keep getting away with crimes & human rights abuses, daily, in Canada. Systemic racism is still a major problem across the country - no matter how much our governments try to whitewash their PR.

#RCMPCIRG still use these #drones to stalk/terrorize Indigenous peoples & comrades in remote resistance/forest & water protection camps. My 2 Indigenous sister-friends, with me now, were both stalked by the drones in middle of old growth forest last week. Jess hid in thick bush for 2 hours, with her 2 dogs, until the drone flew off.

Two #Environmental #ActivistArt pieces, for free, public, non-commercial usage.
Over the years, I've collected a lot of activist art graphics from Tumblr, Reddit & other sites where the artist wasn't always identified. I looked up who these artists were to identify them.

The 1st is by Roger Peet.

The 2nd & 3rd are by Pete Railand.

I was a part of #StopTMX in 4 separate frontlines places across mainland BC & saw the ecocide, up close. BC NDP sent their CIRG goons in at remote areas of BC, where we had set up citizens watch stations. CIRG came to harass, beat up & eventually remove us. #RCMP protect corporate interests/profits, not citizens.

On November 14, two #Montreal #police officers assaulted Dimitri Lascaris when he attempted to enter the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel, where #Canadian #PrimeMinister #MarkCarney was giving a speech.

This is by no means that first time that he's been assaulted by the #cops in Montreal. These experiences have become a regular occurrence whenever he tries to attend speeches by Ministers in the #CanadianGovernment.

This time, however, he managed to capture the assault on video.

As he explains in his report from outside the hotel, it is now obvious that Lascaris has been placed on a government #blacklist. Although he's a #lawyer in good standing and a card-carrying member of the press - facts about which Canada's government is undoubtedly aware - it’s clear that the Liberal government has instructed Montreal police and the #RCMP to prevent Lascaris from entering any building where a Minister of the Canadian government is speaking - and to use force, if necessary, to exclude him.

@NMBA Truth. I know & so do hundreds of citizens they've illegally detained & arrested & assaulted & they committed multiple crimes in front of many witnesses - laughing about never getting consequences, etc. - in front of citizens & journalists.

#BCNDP are responsible for creating these #DomesticTerrorists. Both the #BCgovernment & #GovernmentOfCanada put taxpayers on the hook for paying millions to these #lawbreaking thugs with badges. No ID, refuse to identify themselves, wear fascist patches on their uniforms & get away with a lot of brutal shit because of qualified immunity & corrupted government protection. We seriously need to #RemoveQualifiedImmunity.

#BCRCMP #CIRG gave a promotion to one of the most violent & unhinged COs too, instead of reprimanding him for multiple unlawful actions. Sgt. Charney - long history of complaints that go back decades, which include racism/bigotry/abuses of power/etc. He's the shithead who sent away my BC Ambulance help, slashed emergency water tanks at Wetsuweten during a drought & wildfires season, ordered helicopters to violate Transport Canada regulations & fly too low to kick up dust/debris at activists, tried running me over with an ATV - I could literally list many more illegal shit done by Charney alone.

Good cop = Resigned or dead or whistle-blower.
Good military guy/gal: See the above referenced.

Good cops mostly end up dead, harassed/targeted & end up committing suicide. The #ThinBlueLine badge is a commitment badge for #fascism.

One corrupt cop rots a full barrel.
