Manitoba First Nation chief questions why RCMP didnt consult her on race - based data project

Canada s police and crime commissioner (RCMP) Angela Levasseur has said she wasn t directly contacted by her colleagues ahead of time because of a project to determine whether or not someone is Indigenous based on their appearance alone. But why is it really going to be able to track those who have been. () How is the BBC Newsnight looks at how the RCMP is being investigated for the first time in more than two decades - and how accurate the data can be collected in communities across the country? The chief of one of Manitoba first nations says she is shocked about the way officers are using the observations to identify ethnic minorities in the Canadian community of First Nations, which claim they re trying to find out who is first-handed, and what does it mean for them to know for certain where the people are first, is that it is not possible to get enough information on the experiences of people who were racially harassed or used excessive forces during arrests and abuse of force when it comes into custody? Why is there nothing to do with the police agency looking at what is happening in some areas of the city? And what are the reasons for an increasing number of incidents that have led to her shocking debate about how it can trace each of them? What is in common between the two neighbours, who believes it has gone wrong?
