The Edmonton Police Service is considering releasing the recording of a call under dispute made by the latest Black Muslim woman to be targeted in a racist attack, Chief Dale McFee says. "We certainly don't want to further victimize this individual," McFee told reporters at a news conference Tuesday, when asked by CBC if police would release the tape. Messaging issuesIt's one of the issues around race and messaging for which Edmonton police are coming under fire after a series of racist attacks on Black Muslim women, and seemingly contradictory comments about a rally where protesters carried symbolically-racist tiki torches. 'Whatever we have to do to make it safer'Regarding the attacks on Black Muslim women that have left many Edmontonians feeling unsafe, McFee said police are regularly in touch with the victims. But that path isn't going to get easier when 90 per cent of our focus is on just blaming each other."
