Building the #SettlerColonial Order: #Police (In)Actions in Response to #Violence Against #IndigenousWomen in #Canada
Abstract:
In this article we focus on missing and murdered #Indigenous women, girls, and #2SLGBTQQIA people in Canada. We theorize narratives that police employ to respond to this violence. Using a broad data sample of #testimonies across Canada, this article contributes to understanding how police (in)actions make sense of, justify, and dismiss violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people. We draw from 48 in-depth semi-structured interviews with Indigenous peoples in Toronto and other Canadian cities and 219 testimonies from the Canadian National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (NIMMIWG). The #analysis finds that police repeatedly use similar frames (topics), styles (linguistic and behavioral strategies), and storylines (narratives) to respond to violence against Indigenous peoples. While framing Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people as deviants helps police make sense of and explain violence against them, the use of verbal and behavioral strategies (indifference, callousness, and lack of information) and storylines (âthey were [insert pathologizing frame]â and âthereâs nothing we can doâ) allows police to dismiss and justify acts of violence. We argue that the frames, styles, and storylines employed by police perpetuate violence. Police (in)actions are fundamental to achieving settler #colonialismâs ideological and material dimensions.

About Murder by Decree
Murder by Decree is an #uncensored #record of the planned #extermination of #IndigenousChildren in #Canadaâs murderous Indian #ResidentialSchools. It is issued as a corrective #CounterReport to the miscarriage of #justice by Church and State known as the âTruth and Reconciliation Commissionâ #TRC. Based on eyewitness #testimonies and #archival #documentation deliberately suppressed or ignored by the TRC, Murder by Decree proves that the #genocide of #IndigenousPeople began as a religion-led campaign and continues to be a deliberate governmental policy in Canada. This Counter Report reveals these startling facts: â Over half of Indian residential school children began dying the very first year these church-run facilities were opened â This huge mortality rate continued unabated for over a half century because of deliberate practices of germ warfare according to a prescribed monthly âdeath quotaâ â Evidence of these crimes and their intentional nature has been continually destroyed by the RCMP and the #Catholic, #Anglican and #UnitedChurch since at least 1960 â The same genocide continues today, is aimed at indigenous women and children, and is driven by foreign corporate interests hungry for #NativeLands and resources Murder by Decree is issued by The International Tribunal for the Disappeared of Canada (ITDC), an international #coalition of #jurists and #HumanRights groups. The ITDC was formed in December, 2015 to investigate the disappearance of people in Canada, prosecute those responsible and prevent a further #whitewash by Canada of its #CrimesAgainstHumanity. This report is an answer to these #crimes and an urgent summons to the world and to all #Canadians to live no longer under #genocidal #regimes.

#In this episode I discuss how our once Christian testimonies become weaponized against us when we leave the #church, and how to gain a fresh perspective on life after leaving, even when everyone in the church wants to disregard your story.
Our family was what is called a patriarchal family. Our parents, who in their youth had both considered entering religious life, kept a very fervent practice of the Christian life in their marriage.
My father absolutely made it a law to close his jewelry store on Sundaysâdespite the practice of other merchants in this specialty to the contrary and despite the urgings of his friends, who pointed out that he was losing the business of Sunday shoppers.
He was, moreover, quite devoted to religious practices and willingly sought the company of clergymen; and, out of respect for the priesthood, greeted all priests he met, even those he didnât know.
Our mother was very pious and had affiliated herself with the Third Order of St. Francis. She applied herself to the education of her children to form them in practices of piety and thoughts of the faith.

IDF officers invoked defunct âHannibal Protocolâ during Oct. 7 fighting
"Haaretz reported on Sun tt it had obtained documents & collected #testimonies fr troops who partook in the fighting on Oct 7. The data, #Haaretz said, collectively pointed toward the use of e #HannibalProtocol, a #military order officially repealed in 2016.. #IDF was caught completely unaware & thus struggled to mount a response during e 1st few hours of e invasion"
Why do #Israelis still trust IDF?đ€

Not on novels, but on Holocaust survivor testimonials:

Full version of #Testimonies by Ido Sela. It's exceptionally traumatic so be warned.
If you haven't watched the Ido Sela movie #Testimonies it's absolutely amazing, horrifying and instructive as the the #Intifada
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUQIDwTdPcU
That's just the trailer but I found a full copy a few years back, unfortunately that link is dead and the movie itself appears to be suppressed these days.
I saw it live at the Brookline Jewish Film Festival and people were screaming at each other, crying, getting into the directors face, it was absolutely wrenching.
âWe were forced out of our homes. The situation is indescribable. What you see on TV screens is not even 5 percent of what we are living on the ground. People are killed, torn to pieces; others charred to death; others severely injured; many left homeless; many children killed and more orphaned. Our home inside Gaza was destroyed, we were forced to come to Rafah.â

Am I the only one on Plex with a copy of the 1993 #IdoSela film #Testimonies AKA #Eduyot ? I ask because it's a hell of a film but very, very difficult to find.
