N.S. RCMP say officers faced racist comments during raid at Indigenous cannabis store
HALIFAX — An RCMP manager in Nova Scotia says he takes issue with officers being called white supremacists and Nazis during a recent police raid of an Indigenous-run cannabis dispensary, calling such statements “racist commentary.”
In response, a Mi’kmaq lawyer accused police of painting themselves as victims and heightening tensions for Indigenous communities that have been rocked by unproven allegations from provincial politicians about unlicensed cannabis dispensaries and human trafficking.
