温村警方惹事 非法拘禁黑人前法官

Vancouver police wrongfully detained and handcuffed a Black retired B.C. Supreme Court justice as he was walking in a park.

Officers were looking for a “dark-skinned man” between 40-50 when they approached Selwyn Romilly, reports @CBCNews. He is 81.

I am appalled by the wrongful handcuffing and detainment of retired Justice Selwyn Romilly and have reached out to apologize.

Systemic racism is a reality of our colonial institutions. Incidents like this are unacceptable and cannot continue to happen. #vanpoli pic.twitter.com/WAA2YyFucV
