16 SPVM officers investigated for “unacceptable” racist a...

What this episode covers

An entire 16-person municipal police unit from Montreal-Nord’s station 39 has been dismantled after internal reports have alleged that officers from the night patrol unit were repeatedly carrying out serious discriminatory acts against black and arab residents. Some of the most disturbing allegations include ripping locs off of detainees’ heads. On this episode of Local 514, host Kalden Dhatsenpa sits down with Christopher Curtis, editor-in-chief of The Rover, to discuss the SPVM’s history of police brutality, systemic violence in Montreal, and the unprecedented nature of this disciplinary action. What does it mean for the SPVM? And what does it mean for Montrealers who are not surprised at this news?
