Members of the Black community including No Pride in Policing Coalition's Beverly Bain and author Desmond Cole said without concrete, immediate change, an apology from police is meaningless. Beverly Bain took a similar message straight to Toronto police Wednesday morning, when she made it abundantly clear that interim Chief James Ramer's apology carried no weight for her. This is insulting to Indigenous people," Bain said, speaking passionately during a police press conference happening just as the data was released. The Black community have left these folks behind while they're talking about things from ten and 20 years ago," Cole said. "We cannot accept this apology as even a modicum of any kind of reform," he said, speaking on CBC News Network.
