So as a police officer if you decide to go out as an officer and pick up a drunk person who is passed out or causing a distrubance and instead of halling him into the drunk tank and logging all the paper work you decide to take him for a "star light" tour. You drop him off a few km's outside of the city without shoes in the winter and these people die and you only do it to one particular race.

What do you call that? Killing people as a result of there race in my opinion would be a start or if you perfer criminal negligence casuing deathing people because of their race.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Stonechild the guy who died
http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/stonechild/ Darrel night is the guy who surrvived and Police Officers were convicted of unlawful confinement.

Thanks for the links, but I am well aware of the cases involved. Do you think that these idiot officers only did it to Native people? I can tell you that this was a common practice about 20-30 years ago for many drunk holigans regardless of the colour of their skin. I agree that this shouldn't have been done and if someone died as a result of this they should be charged accordingly, however, this was not done because of race. It was the easier way to deal with drunk people, white, brown, black or purple. It was an idiot crime not a race crime.

And to add, I am quite sure it was not the police officers intentions that these people die, even though a reasonable person would think that maybe that would have been a consequence of dropping someone off in the middle of winter out in no where.
