Police are investigating after a Winnipeg grocery store supervisor allegedly punched a woman accused of shoplifting on Sunday, in what one eyewitness believes is a case of racial profiling.
Police say they are investigating after a video was released showing an Indigenous woman being restrained with zip ties in Winnipeg’s Marlborough Hotel. The hotel said the woman was intoxicated, armed and threatening people, but Indigenous leaders say the interaction was inhumane and disgraceful.
