This scandal shows why police accountability is critical. Decentralizing power and increasing citizen oversight could help prevent abuses and restore trust in Montréal-Nord.
Respect for law and order is important, but so is transparency. The police should work closely with the community to rebuild trust, but we shouldn’t undermine officers doing their jobs.
Addressing systemic racism requires more than apologies—it's about real reform, community involvement, and holding officers accountable. Only then can trust be rebuilt in Montréal-Nord.
