Some of you might remember that Minneapolis Public Schools recently cancelled its SRO contract with MPD. There appears to be an effort to replace them with nearly identical “Public Safety Support Specialists” who would bridge school to law enforcement. This, too, is policing.

"When security looks at our poster, and target us, I feel as though they are scanning to see if we are "threats". Police on campus never protect Muslim students...I have never felt safe or protected as a Muslim woman on campus. Who are they there to serve and protect? " 3/3

"A few of us ran into a student who was having a mental health crisis. We then reached out to the Equity and Inclusion office for support. We asked that they call a mental health professional to support this student and offer a wellness check. They said they would, but needed the name. We gave them the name and they ended up calling special constables, despite our pleas not to do so. Campus constables then called Hamilton Police who searched for this student and detained them. We ended up hearing later on that this student was physically assaulted by the police." - anonymous submission

We are currently at the encampment on York and Bay in #HamOnt. Notice was given that city workers and police will begin removing what they deem to be garbage, large furniture, and "stolen goods" from the site. Note that these people are houseless. These items are all they have:

Meanwhile, De Caire's presence at McMaster continues to endanger students. How can you claim to be tackling anti-Black racism when your head of security and the friends he brings support racial profiling?
Text graphic that reads: De Caire Off Campus macdecaireoffcampus@gmail.com Having worked in the vicinity of the Security office, I often saw police officers come to visit their former colleagues, particularly De Caire himself. His colleagues, also former cops I believe, voiced their defence and agreement of the practice of carding." —anonymous submission
