Justice For Ejaz
The SIU recently announced there will be no charges for the officers who killed Ejaz Choudry, a man killed in his Malton, Ontario apartment after his family called a non-emergency line for mental health help. Ejaz locked himself alone inside his apartment while seated on a prayer mat and asked the police to leave. The SIU report says Ejaz "said he would not come out because he thought the police would shoot him." Then the police broke in and shot him. A statement from Ejaz's family reads: "Ejaz committed no crime. He did not deserve any of this. If there are no reasonable grounds to lay charges in this case, then when will the SIU ever take action for a police killing?"
97% of SIU cases that are investigated end without charges. In Peel alone, police have killed Jermaine Carby (1981-2014), Matt DiGiovanni (1985-2019), Clive Mensah (1989-2019), Jamal Francique (1992-2020), D'Andre Campbell (1994-2020), and Ejaz Choudry (1958-2020), and none of the officers involved have faced any charges.
The Malton People's Movement is a grassroots community organization that is fighting back. They are demanding that the officers be named, charged for the crimes they've committed, and fired. Families must be compensated. And in a region in which 40% of all tax dollars go to the police, they are demanding we defund the police and reallocate that money to community services. Join their Justice for Ejaz action on Saturday, April 10 (follow @MaltonMovement for details).
In the second half of the show, I talk with Alex Grant and David Slavick on our Left, Lefter, Leftist panel about defunding the police, the relationship between police and capitalism, reform versus abolition, abolishing the crown, how to stop COVID, and more!
