1. (Thread) Let’s talk about Adrian Woolley, President of the Peel Regional Police Association.

As the head of Ontario’s third largest police union, @PRPA_Prez’s record, and his approach to criminal justice, demonstrates a systemic failure at @PeelPolice more broadly. Image
2. Let’s start at the beginning.

Peel Region Police officers are fine with having a convicted felon as their President.

Woolley pleaded guilty to drinking and driving - last year.

The story is from February of this year. Image
3. What does it say when someone in a such a role - over a police association no less - is guilty of breaking the law, and doesn’t have the conviction to step aside?

He was driving 174 km/h on the QEW while drunk.

He could have killed someone.

Slap on the wrist = 3000 fine. Image

A father of four in Mississauga was shot dead by police when one of his children called the non-emergency number to ask for help for his mentally-ill father.

2- The police was already told he did not speak English and the man was not in danger to anyone else.

3- Like many visible minority teenagers, I've been carded a few times (mostly by the Peel Police) in my teen years. What people miss about that experience is this: it creates a fear and distrust of police.
