Trudeau's Gov't is a joke. The response to @LeahGazan's question was completely meaningless. People continue to be killed by police and the response from the Liberal MP sounded as though she was talking about the weather. #DefundThePolice #AbolishThePolice

Please feel welcomed to attend this press conference in person, or to tune in online through our Twitter and Instagram accounts. If attending in person, please wear masks and remain socially distant. 3/3 #DefundThePolice #DefundHPS #ONpoli #HamOnt
On Monday, June 28th at 9:00 AM, we will host a press conference in response to the most recent Hamilton Police Services Board meeting to discuss our findings from the received FOI report. This press conference will take place at 155 King William Street in Hamilton. 2/3
In January 2021, Defund Hamilton Police Services Coalition (Defund HPS) in collaboration with @BLM_TO filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOI) request regarding use of force information by the Hamilton Police Services. 1/3
The UOF (Use of Force) report has a Length of Service section to be completed by the submitting officer. In certain circumstances, this section is not completed.
The Hamilton Police have euthanized 25 animals. This is the first time they are showing any remorse for violence they have inflicted.
The violent crime rate in the Hamilton CMA is similar to provincial rates (790) and lower than the national rate for violent crimes (1,052). The number of youth involved in crime has fallen each year since 2009, mirroring the national trend.
This is how Abdirahman Abdi was murdered by Ottawa Police.
Empty hands “hard” refers to the striking of a person. This would include punches, kicks, elbow strikes, knee strikes and grounding techniques where they force someone to the ground. These are the strikes that suffocate people.
HPS is blaming frequency of use of force on a “violent” population. This is statistically incorrect as according to the @HamCommFdn, the violent crime rate in Hamilton is currently 34% lower than in 2006, and is only decreasing.
The most common reason for this area not being completed is when the ERU files a "team” report and the Years of Service area is not completed.
Why is the social navigator program, which facilitates encampment evictions, being awarded for their service? Evictions happen on a mass scale in hamont, and are just as violent as the evictions we have seen in #TrinityBellwoods. These police officers do not deserve any award
They are currently giving awards of distinction. They have awarded the Leonard G Lawrence Award to the HPS social navigator program. This program has harassed and evicted unhoused residents all year. What are they being awarded for? @HamOntESN
There were 140 incidents where the police and/or civilian required medical attention. Medical attention includes apprehension under the mental health act.
Officers are not allowed to ask what someones race is, they must make a choice based on interaction. Breakdown of perceived race: White (294, 66%), Black (81, 18%), Middle Eastern (24, 6%), East/Southeast Asian (21, 5%), Indigenous (14, 3%), Latino (6, 1%), South Asian (6, 1%)
They are using flowery language when they are talking about tasers and pepper spray. Why is the Hamilton Police using flowery language to disguise their violent practices. It isn't a conductive energy weapon. It's a taser.
A use of force report must be used when a conductive energy weapon or gun is used.
This report requires race based data, this is gathered based on perception of race that is determined by the police.
