Racial profiling victims say police complaint system is broken in Repentigny, Que.
The Center for Research-Action on Race Relations says it’s filed 11 complaints over the past three years with Quebec’s police ethics commissioner against Repentigny police. Despite this, the committee has not made a single decision on potential racial profiling in the police force.
CRARR says three of their clients — Hézu Kpowbié, François Ducas and Fabien Ruault’s son, who was 12 at the time he was handcuffed by police — are part of a pattern. Each of their complaints were dismissed and never made it past mandatory conciliation. On Sunday, the group said it’s time the government reform the police ethics system in order to better protect all citizens.
