The relationship between Black communities and the police is strained, so much so that some people are calling for the defunding of police, and for police to be held accountable for the deaths of some Black Canadians across the country. Host Farah Nasser talks with the family of D’Andre Campbell, a Black man who was fatally shot by police in his own home. We also speak with activist, journalist and author, Desmond Cole, on what defunding the police means and looks like, and we speak with former Winnipeg police chief Devon Clunis on his thoughts on racism and the police force.
