- Pierre Emanuel Joseph, a Black aerospace engineer in the Canadian Armed Forces, has accused Laval police of racial profiling and mistreatment after he was stopped and had his ID checked while jogging.
Joseph claimed that in 2021, during a long-distance run, he was stopped and reprimanded by Laval authorities before being arrested and having his home searched.
The military official said he was taken home in handcuffs by officers after telling them he had his military ID and uniform at home - the uniform police allegedly said was “fake.”
Following this act of “intimidation,” Joseph received a criminal sanction for obstruction, in the mail.
The experience left Joseph discouraged from taking action for a while, before going to therapy. Now, he wants to leave Quebec. Global’s Phil Carpenter reports.

French Canadians are not exactly a welcoming crowd. Especially if your Anglo or from some other country.
Can confirm im anglo grew up in MLT
hey that's not true and quite generalizing I was in Quebec few month ago, I am Anglo from "some other country" and Quebecer were extremely nice to me and very welcoming. I don't even speak French and everyone I met in the week that I spent there was very helpful they even tried to speak English to help me out. Love Quebec and the music festival.
Yeah try being an Ontarian visiting & lost. They either ignore, only speak French or pretend the my only speak French 😂
The irony of your comment being nothing more than prejudice and generalizations...
I'm a quebecer that lived in Saskatchewan for 3 months, and i didn't feel much welcomed either. So ... where do we stand now?
This why you must always covertly record your encounters with police.
So true , he should wear spy body cam , spy glasses, put up surveillance cameras around his house
or just carry an ID card.
Quebec isn't really Canada. Just ask the rest of the country
Are we really surprised?
Quebec again full of screw-ups. Ya, move outa Quebec. Not much to say about the Military's response - cept - Needs a good tune-up
Oh wow 😂 Quebec wanted to separate from Canada 🇨🇦- I thought they hated us all equally. 🙄
…sounds like this gentleman was targeted on a slow nite. God will surely find something for them to do now.
This service he has provided,by standing up, speaking up and refusing to give up is commendable. Our military is lucky to have him.
My dad was french Canadian, and even he drove around Quebec to visit the Maritimes from Ontario. They don't like outsiders, never have.
The way he's wearing that beret, I'm having my own doubts.
Right whose just wearing a beret for fun
Ah air force reserves makes sense.
I hope for you a better place to live & feel safer.
How about Africa
U realize im not try to offend i respect but understand people , your people europeans if you are u wanted to trade understand with non coloured asians blacks middle eastern native americans and helped us cure various illness and we put our food in your cusine and we love it but just understand from reading the bible dont be evil dont have a evil heart be good and you will be blessed love all mercy upon you.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Canada. It’s a game in Canada.
This is terrible for so many reasons, and it needs to stop
I'm also in the mil and living in Quebec ruined my mental health, I was also treated as less than human by the police. It's almost 5 years later and i'm still suffering from depression.
Laval police is beyond pathetic.
Surprised?
That is just so I’m just an unfair to do something like.. especially when you’re a police officer, and you’re supposed to be up holding the law and then you go and do something like this to a man who serves as country… and call his uniform, a fake and his ID and. That’s just plain races and we should not have that in the police force. It doesn’t belong there.
What do you expect? It’s Quebec lol
Remember Quebec is the province that treated Terry Fox like crap!
A 'Distinct Society'
yes and they are correct
Quebec no surprise .
African countries are very well represented by black people. Perhaps one of these many countries would be more suitable to this gentlemen.
yes but everything is free in Canada for certain cultures
Meaning??
If the hands in Québec could do their own work, he won’t be there trying to help them. Only cowards dont know how to say "Thank you for your service!"...
why is he in the Canadian military in the first place?
Name of police officer please. If the public can have the names of those involved here on social media perhaps the police will think twice before doing these things.
Is Quebec still in Canada?
If someone threw my uniform on the ground we'd have real problems
HE SHOULD ALWAYS RECORD THE POLICE, WEAR SPY BODY CAM AT ALL TIMES , PUT UP CAMERA AROUND HIS HOUSE
This is wrong on so many levels. It is so important to address well every level of what happened here.
Ha, Global edits my comments for calling out the military for turning their back on one of their own, but leaves the fascist anti black comments up. Classy.
A police officer helped me when my car broke down on the freeway. I have diverse friends, including those who are black. I have established successful businesses independently. Though I studied at university for 15 years, I haven't secured a permanent job in the last 20 years. Disrespectful behaviour is not limited to a specific race or language group. Speaking up against it is empowering.
I would just quit the military right their
This is wrong! No one should be treated like this. Those police officers should be suspended without pay for a certain amount of time and during that period, they should have to take a course on how to treat people equally. As to the military not supporting one of there own, they will suffer in the end. Who wants to be a part of such an organization? Not exactly the public message you want to send to possible recruitees.
The CAF is now commanded by a bunch of Wokeist trolls with long hair and earrings !
Is this entire story an op?
I had a similar incident. It’s a power dynamic problem, not racism. But don’t tell that to the media…welcome to reality, we of all races have to deal with this.
Did they also handcuff you , drive you home to provide ID , throw your Military uniform on the floor and claim it was fake , mock you and start stalking you in real life and online too ?
Somehow I doubt your "It's not about race , it happened to me too " experience was the same as his .
smdh
well the police officer was looking for a promotion so the police officer decided he would start a fight. document it and take it to his chain to get his promotion.
police can be jerks. lol.
Lol aahhh Quebec who is surprised
Where is you hat badge by ?
This happened in 2021? And it's taken two years to speak out? Sure thing there Jussie.
Way to immediately resort to that boomer.
Ah look, the troll entered the chat.
✊✊✊
First!
Seeing someone that size running is intimidating. It doesn't matter that if you're white or black you will get a talking to by the cops. And it just takes one of those cops that feels less of man to go out of their way to cause you trouble. I am a big guy too. I know the impression I set when I go for a jog. I also had a talking to by the cops. I remember two of them that really wanted to get me on something.
"Seeing someone that size running is intimidating." That's a really weird comment.
@@seanhiggins2740 real life experience is outright weird.
@@c-j-p I think I know why you get accosted by the cops. They are actually being friendly to you in a strange way. They see potential in you. They're testing you to see if you would be a good cop. They push you around to see if you would fight or resist. How you handle yourself. If you've got what it takes to be one of them. It's similar to how gangs recruit new members.
Quebec is full of Hells Angels who are a lot more intimidating than him. But the police high 5 them- good buddies they all are
@cjp725 did they also handcuff you , drive you home to provide ID , throw your Military uniform on the floor and claim it was fake , mock you and start stalking you in real life and online too ?
