The Saskatchewan Coalition Against Racism is marking the International Day Against Police Brutality with a rally and a list of demands.
The group has taken aim at the Regina Police Service over a number of recent cases.
They include a public complaints commission finding that police did not have just cause when they detained an aboriginal man on suspicion of theft, and the decision not to dismiss an officer even though the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal upheld his conviction for assaulting an aboriginal man.
SCAR wants the officer fired. It also wants the mayor to meet with the aboriginal man who was unlawfully detained, and it wants the board of police commissioners to stop reading letters of support at their meetings and instead focus on serving – not assaulting – residents.
