New racial profiling policy for Ottawa

Because of an incident that had occurred in 2004, there was an allegation of racism after police responded to a gun call at a restaurant in Ottawa. Cops handcuffed and detained all the black men at the restaurant during a search, but no gun was ever found and no charges were laid. This formulated the idea for police to create a new policy. Many reports were made towards the police from that incident because of the hypocrisy when the Ottawa police had stated that the community is multicultural and multiethnic, though sometimes “not all of them could understand the cultural norms”.
