The Killing of Nooran Rezayi | A Few Bad Apples
About this episode
The episode discusses police misconduct in Canada, focusing on the killing of Nooran Rezayi by Longueuil police and the broader implications of police actions across the country.
This is the first installment of "A Few Bad Apples," a new, ongoing series about police misconduct from The Hatchet. Across Canada, police continue to act with impunity. Toronto is amidst t he worst policing crisis in its history. And while the details of that were still coming out, three off-duty Toronto police officers were charged with sexual assault in Spain. In British Columbia, the Vancouver police has been interfering in the city’s politics, while the RCMP spies on protesters and dissidents. Murder trials in Calgary and Fredericton have fallen apart because of police incompetence. And in Edmonton and St. John, the police chiefs have been accused of serious misconduct. And then there’s Montreal. Last year, two unarmed people were killed by Montreal-area police forces, including including one of a fifteen-year-old boy. This is why we’re launching a new, ongoing series from The Hatchet called “A Few Bad Apples.” It will be both a podcast and a newsletter. The purpose is to maintain a consistent eye on what’s happening in the world of Canadian policing, in every corner of the country, and not just follow the media trends. And for our first story, we’re going to the South Shore…
