Members of the #Heiltsuk Nation in #BellaBella are calling for immediate suspension & removal of an #RCMP officer stationed in the remote coastal community for reportedly making #racist comments on social media.
One screenshot shows the officer posing in front of the Union Jack in #colonial regalia with the comment, “Now, whats to be done about these pesky #natives stirring up trouble in the colonies…?”
She said there is “nothing #Indigenous about the RCMP.”
“They can hire Indigenous people but it doesn’t change their many #HumanRights violations and their continued role in #MMIWG. #RibbonSkirts are #sacred & not to be associated with #genocide,” she said, adding whoever thought of the idea should be fired.
..a bigger issue than whether #Pickton survives is the potential destruction of the #evidence.
“I act as legal counsel for 16 children of nine women who were killed by #RobertPickton,” he said. “It’s in their interest to preserve the evidence seized by the #RCMP on the Pickton farm to allow my clients to prove that Robert Pickton & #DavidPickton caused them to suffer loss.”
"The removal of our people from the land is the first thing the RCMP were created to do, and the one thing they will continue to do. After all, removing the people from their land makes it easier to take that land and all the resources it can provide.
So while they assimilate our ceremonial sacred items, they will continue to take our men from our communities, often through violence, and force them to make their beds behind bars — forced removal"

The #RCMP spokesperson said police were in communication with the #Saskatchewan Conservation Officer Service throughout Thursday, but there were no conservation officers on site when the bear was shot.
People in a local Facebook group expressed #outrage about a photo circulating on social media of two RCMP officers posing with the dead bear in the bed of a pickup truck.
