The lawyer for Colten Boushie's family is among the voices condemning high-ranking Prairie police officer Curtis Zablocki's statement that there is no systemic racism in Canadian policing. "I don't believe that racism is systemic through Canadian policing, I don't believe it's systemic through policing in Alberta," he said. The RCMP's deputy commissioner in Alberta denies there is systemic racism in policing in the province and in the rest of Canada. Sunchild said national discussions about systemic racism are very personal for the Boushie family. She said evidence of systemic racism is regularly publicized in statistics, reports and personal stories shared through the media.
