An RCMP manager in Nova Scotia says he takes issue with officers being called white supremacists and Nazis during a recent police raid of a Mi'kmaw-run cannabis dispensary, calling such statements "racist commentary."

In response, a Mi'kmaw lawyer accused police of painting themselves as victims and heightening tensions for Mi'kmaw communities that have been rocked by unproven allegations from provincial politicians about unlicensed cannabis dispensaries and human trafficking. On Thursday, Supt. Jason Popik with the Southwest Nova District RCMP said officers were met with "verbal assault" during a Jan. 30 police search and cannabis seizure near the Annapolis Valley.

"We get into the site and we're faced with swearing, racist language," he said in an interview. "When I say racist language โ€” when people start identifying the colour of your skin, the race you come from and use derogatory terms like 'white supremacist,' I take that to be a racist language."

๐Ÿ™„

ok go off, as if the NS dept of the RCMP didn't have the biggest blunder of any in recent memory

"When people are calling the police officers Nazis, that's a derogatory term to reflect their feelings towards the people that are there doing their job," he said.

oh boohoo

Calling these RCMP Nazis is hyperbolic and makes it harder to call out serious cases of facisim. The RCMP complaining about it makes them sound like babies.
