There is nothing “independent” or “civilian” about any police oversight agencies in Canada. It is incredible how people currently running these organizations can live with themselves clearing people and not having average community members who care inside doing the work to hold police accountable.

When will @SIUOntario be run by community members? The legislation for police oversight has been constructed so that no one is ever held accountable. Why are public dollars being wasted on these institutions that continue to fail victims and communities impacted by police brutality and killings?
