Sadly, we live in a world where it’s all too common to let racist acts go unchallenged. Happily, that isn’t the case in Durham Region where the police chief, Paul Martin, rightly stepped up to confront bigotry, even though it did not occur under his direct purview. One holds a long stick; the other is pointing his gun at the man and has his foot on the man’s head. “My dad is my hero,” the drawing says with an arrow pointing to one of the officers. The retired Durham employee who posted the cartoon denies it was a reference to the trial and called Martin’s response “overkill.”He couldn’t be more wrong.
