‘Black drug dealer who had it coming’: Family concerned alleged comments by Ontario SIU manager prejudiced case

The alleged comments, including labelling one victim shot by police as a “Black drug dealer who had it coming,” are signs of prejudice that need to be dealt with at the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), say family members of the man who died.

On the other hand it may have been an accurate observation.
