Nearly two in five Canadians believe there is a serious problem with the way police forces interact with Black, Indigenous and people of colour (BIPOC) communities across the country, according to a new poll. When Canadians were asked which answer reflects their feelings about how police interact with non-white people on a national level, the results showed:39 per cent felt there was a serious problem. But fewer Canadians see the way police treat non-white people in their province as a serious problem, and the number drops again when asked about their own communities. When Canadians were asked the same question about community policing, the results showed:27 per cent felt there was a serious problem. And 27 per cent of Canadians said that police are too quick to use force to solve a problem.
