F the RCMP hats *PRE ORDER*
There is a crisis called policing in this country that continues to murder Indigenous people with impunity.
In Nunavik alone 16 community members alone have died in police/RCMP custody or during police/RCMP interventions. The population of Nunavik is only 14,000 people and 90% of them are Inuit. The number killed by police in such a small population is astronomical. Stats like these are not uncommon in Inuit communities across the North.
Please consider donating to the Papigatuk family in their time of suffering. ❤️🩹

“A police officer then allegedly opened fire at one of the people who was injured by police gunfire,” according to the BEI, “The police officer allegedly fired at the second person, who was then injured by police gunfire.”
First aid was then provided and both twins were taken to hospital. Joshua Papigatuk was killed while Garnet is in stable condition.
The BEI said five investigators are working on the case.
A fundraising page has been posted in support of the family.
“The Papigatuk family in Salluit is enduring an unimaginable tragedy,” said the online GoFundMe post. “This devastating event has left their family and community in deep mourning, sparking calls for justice and understanding.”
