"...was shopping with two friends, both of whom are white, was singled out by a security guard who falsely accused her of stealing from Victoria’s Secret.
“Despite cooperating fully by showing her belongings, which contained no stolen items, she was followed, publicly restrained and forcibly held down by multiple security guards,” even though she was unthreatening and compliant."

@NMBA This is sickening and it is happening everywhere. Somehow the people working in security in #Canada tend to be brown people who have gotten the message that they need to track and violently attack other brown people, especially #IndigenousPeoples. Is it a case of the #colonized mimicking the #colonizer? The oppressed becoming the oppressor? Or just pure #violence for the sake of violence?

Racism is practiced by humans of every shade - like rape, its about power. For example, the "untouchable caste" is in India.
