unbelievable!!!

[ParnaamShaheedaNu]

man sue the pants off those guys, that is a violation of your civil liberties and also racial profiling, if they said anything about being terrorists, dude get a lawyer.

EXACTLY!!

If you guys need any help complaining or writing letters or doing any such seva PLEASE CONTACT ME and I'll try to find other people that can help with this case.

This is an outrage - if it can happen in T.O - it can happen ANYWHERE. Canada's known as one of the most peaceful countries around. There are so many predictions of how life is gonna get harder for Gursikhs in Canada - and people keep saying "no way, it's CANADA, Canada could never ever persecute their own citizens" but it's already happening.

Jasdev Singh or any other bros please update us on what action you guys are gonna take. IF YOU NEED ANY HELP, CONTACT THE SANGAT !!! That's what we're all here for.. We're behind u guys all the way - one Panth, one Family, fighting together in everything.

this incident took place about a month ago. and as far as i know its being taken care of. i believe one of the singhs talked to a lawyer or something. but the thing we all have to understand is, they told us then and still say it (im sure) that they are allowed to take our kirpans off. if they are arresting someone for assault or any reason, they will take anything that looks like a weapon off them. especially if they are gonna be put in a police car. and the thing was there was an assault in a park right down the road and they thought the singhs were the suspects. i guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Sat Sri Akal:

According to the description given by the Singh Sahib, there were two main points that I hope were addressed if it has already been taken care of. First, no police officer should be playing around with a Kirpan, or an other artifact/weapon/Kirpan/etc. in a taunting manner in front of anyone. This is unprofessional behavior and can certainly earn some time off. The other thing is the pretext of the arrest. Why were they arrested? The outline states that they were arrested, and then let go because they were not the people being sought...the people being looked for were not even wearing turbans, quite an obvious and visible physical marker. So this could certainly be investigated under unlawful arrest, as there was no reason whatsoever to even pull the Sikhs over.

Hopefully, proper punishment was dealt for this incident if it has already been dealt with.

Pyare jio, the only way to stop this is to make an example of the police officers involved. Hence the matter should not be dropped. People always jump on the bandwagon and say sue. But the reality is you have to look at the legalities the case. Only the individual and his lawyer can examine this.

However the sikh community in Toronto should come together and organise a peaceful protest outside the police station, in respect to the incident. This should be done in a Gurmat manner, no shouting or slogans, but a peaceful sitdown protest of hundreds.

Banners such as "Sikhs are Not terrorists!" should be used. This will show the community will not tolerate being treated as terrorists. The behaviour of the protest should reflect your message that sikhs are a peace-loving community with high morals.

Secondly, as in done in Slough Uk. The youth should begin dialogue with the police. In slough, we have a specific presentation approved by the Metropolitan Police. This is mandatory for all new police recruits covering slough. The presentation is about ethnic awareness of Sikhs. It is always done by practicing Sikhs and is shown on a Powerpoint format. Create a constructive partnership dialogue like this with the police and other public service agencies to ensure these one-off incidents do not happen again.

Anyone who wishes to know more about the ethnic awareness presentations can contact myself or contact SCAN (Sikh Community Action Network) in slough.
