Several thousand protesters marching in downtown #Mississauga calling for an end to anti-black racism.

They’re also advocating for @PeelPolice to wear body cameras – something that Mayor @BonnieCrombie says she & #Brampton Mayor @patrickbrownont both agree with #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/jR6OOJ5dUn

La manifestation demande également que les policiers soient équipés de caméras corporelles « pour qu’il y ait témoin » lors de décès de personnes pendant des interventions policières. #onrc #mississauga #blacklivesmatter pic.twitter.com/aO5cWbp8Uz
