Saskatchewan's Serious Incident Response Team is investigating after RCMP injured a man during an arrest on Mosquito Grizzly Bear's Head Lean Man First Nation — then released him with no charges at all.
No charges means the force used bought zero public safety. For First Nations communities with generations of policing trauma, each such case files itself in a long memory.
Watchdogs investigate; rarely do consequences follow. The community will measure this one the same way: not by the press release, but by what changes on the next call.
