Lmao. Must be a slow racism day if this is the best they got.
@Suzuki Beane I’ve been cuffed twice without ever even being charged with a crime. It happens. Again, if this is the best example of racism they have, we have zero racism in this country. If this dude had experienced a slur from a passerby on the sidewalk, it would have been worse than this, and I consider slurs from strangers to be a nothing burger, unless you have self esteem issues.
@Machine Algorithm Alpha if this has happened to you multiple times when you weren’t guilty of any crime then that right there is a fundamental problem with the system.
If you bumped into a poc at this point, they will scream “RaCiSm” like a pig, it’s as predictable as the sun set.
@Machine Algorithm Alpha Are you indigenous?
@Suzuki Beane nope
BMO sitting on some of the most expensive real estate in BC.
respect your First Nations

Hail Atlantis
and the banks break open..
Drinks on your house
It was an accident. Wawawawa
I don’t think they understand what human rights violation is. They have the right to file a complaint against the officer, but it’s not a human rights violation if they’re being illegally detained it’s a civil matter not a human rights matter.
Are bank managers truly that stupid?
They are just looking for a carve up. So they got cuffed. BOOHOO you absolute scroungers.
Google Academy UK……It is attitudes like yours that keep perpetuate discriminatory practices.
The dislikes on this video are disgusting
Why do you say that? Do you actually know why each person disliked the video?
They got falsely accused but not due to them being indigenous!
Robert S…… You just can’t say that without ny evidence for your claim.
Statistically we should suspect him of something
@Suzuki Beane if the bank employee had suspicious thoughts of fraud, it’s their right. If the cops had suspicious thoughts, they can investigate. If the cops did anything, like put handcuffs, prematurely why would bank be at fault. Since you don’t need a lawyer for a human rights complaint, it will be settled at mediation.
@Robert S I was referring to your comment “they got falsely accused but NOT DUE TO THEM BEING INDIGENOUS”
You have no way of knowing if it was or was not due to them being indigenous… It’s more likely that prejudice was involved.
@Suzuki Beane No, YOU can’t say that without evidence. And they didn’t show evidence that they were detained due to their nationality. They had an ID that was suspect and were detained so they the ID can be confirmed. It would happen if I brought in a cheque that appeared to not be legitimate or my ID seemed off.
Lots of racism in Vancouver, it’s very serious.
Boycott BMO
Why? The were presented an ID that they didn’t recognize and it’s obvious the person was trying to withdraw a large amount of cash. They were unlikely to have actually been detained UNTIL the cops arrived. Their ID was likely being held while the cops were on route but they themselves were not physically detained by a bank. Boycott your stupidity…..
@Alan d’Eon Yeah in your imagination! You can’t even spell to save your life. Boycott BMO!
BOYCOTT BMO
Why? The were presented an ID that they didn’t recognize and it’s obvious the person was trying to withdraw a large amount of cash.

Boycott your stupidity…..
Just how old are the bank staff…..12? How could you not know about status ID cards?
Why is it assumed that this was racism and not just a mistake?
because reasons….
Dude did something to deserve it.
So you would have problem if it happened to you?
Sorry this happened.
Anything and everything that is viewed as negative by poc, is instantly racism. This dynamic is dangerous, very dangerous, for poc.
