00:00:00.000 When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau uttered the words systemic racism and said all institutions
00:00:11.140 in Canada were afflicted by it, he had most people in Canada asking what the heck that was.
00:00:18.460 But he managed to dump his sycophantic commissioner of the RCMP right in the pile of steaming
00:00:25.000 dung when she was asked if it was a problem in the RCMP, and she agreed it was.
00:00:31.340 When pressed for examples, she was left stammering and stuttering.
00:00:37.120 But her appearance in subsequent days before the Standing Committee on Public Safety and
00:00:43.940 National Security was absolutely cringe-inducing.
00:00:48.860 She was asked several times to explain and give examples of systemic racism within the
00:00:56.660 RCMP, but was seemingly dumbfounded.
00:01:00.020 Except when the following exchange occurred, asked by Liberal MP Greg Fergus to clarify whether
00:01:08.000 there was systemic racism in the RCMP, the commissioner replied, quote,
00:01:13.040 quote, yes, there's absolutely systemic racism.
00:01:16.880 I can give you several examples that we found over the years, unquote.
00:01:22.540 But of course she couldn't.
00:01:25.080 She tried to claim that a training requirement that involved candidates negotiating a six-foot 0.64
00:01:30.680 broad jump could be seen as racist because it disadvantages certain people.
00:01:36.880 Mounties are expected to maintain a certain level of physical fitness.
00:01:43.300 It is a part of training in DEPO, the RCMP Training Academy in Regina.
00:01:48.860 So is self-defense, which includes something called ground fighting, where members are taught
00:01:54.840 to engage people using any method necessary to ensure compliance of a suspect.
00:02:00.240 You see, a police officer should never start a fight, but sometimes their very life depends
00:02:09.620 on being able to finish one.
00:02:12.820 That is the reality of the street today.
00:02:17.400 Since the ill-advised comments of the commissioner, I have been inundated with emails and social
00:02:25.320 media messages from serving and retired members of the RCMP who were outraged at the comments
00:02:32.020 of the commissioner.
00:02:33.820 They universally feel like she has denigrated their service, and they are right. 1.00
00:02:40.600 Since the prime minister said what he did, I have been looking for some kind of definition
00:02:47.040 of systemic racism.
00:02:49.440 There is none apparent that I could find.
00:02:51.480 Police are constantly being denigrated by the media.
00:02:57.400 They find claims of police brutality where none should exist.
00:03:01.780 This week, CTV was doing just such a story.
00:03:06.420 They asked me to comment on a police video they claimed showed some example of police brutality.
00:03:12.700 After watching the video there, needless to say, there wasn't any.
00:03:17.080 There was just an officer all by herself, on her own, trying to restrain an out-of-control
00:03:23.000 mental patient as she summoned assistance.
00:03:27.340 I wouldn't play their game, and told them so.
00:03:31.500 Sometimes policing is like making a sausage.
00:03:34.520 You want the result, but you don't want to see how it's done.
00:03:37.960 I thought about all of this as I watched the left-wing layabouts and their antics and Black 1.00
00:03:47.880 Lives Matter, having their ridiculous protests in many cities in the U.S., and of course in
00:03:54.360 Toronto as they tried to shut down Yundundas Square and then finally settled on camp in front
00:04:00.460 of Toronto City Hall in Nathan Phillips Square.
00:04:05.040 Antifa and Black Lives Matter are nothing but unemployed Marxists trying to impose their will on the rest of society. 1.00
00:04:14.580 Frankly, they deserve no attention and no credibility.
00:04:19.180 The media should stop celebrating their stupidity, and the police should stop condoning the nonsense
00:04:24.540 at the will of their political masters.
00:04:28.400 The politicians will do their posing and posturing, but the police, in my opinion, should just ignore
00:04:35.960 them and do their job as they see fit.
00:04:39.140 That's what they are good at.
00:04:41.320 The politicians are good at posing.
00:04:44.700 As far as systemic racism, it's a product of Justin's fertile mind, and was repeated by
00:04:52.540 the sycophantic trained SEALs like Brenda Luckey.
00:04:56.060 The best definition I have heard from came from former U.S. Speaker Newt Gingrich, when he said,
00:05:02.220 quote,
00:05:02.920 Systemic racism is a political term designed to make you feel guilty and to shut you up, unquote.
00:05:10.460 For True North, I'm Leo Knight.
