There is racism by the RCMP for sure but it doesn't totally correlate with the way the data as its being presented.
As to why aboriginal people are far more likely to commit a crime or abuse drugs is a whole other can of worms and certainly systematic racism there. Like I said any group in the cycle of poverty is more likely to be shot by police.

The question is though are natives 'more likely to commit a crime?' or are they just far more likely to be charged with a crime, as they live in a massively policed neighbourhood, get crappy legal advice and end up pleading guilty while just as many white people are using and selling drugs get into fights or the like but tend to get ignored as they have houses and don't live in an easily policed area
