FROM FEB. 4, 2004: Police raid angers Somali community

Remember the story below?

It ultimately led to the police/citizen discussions of racial profiling to be held in Ottawa next week ("Let's Chat About Racial Profiling; The Ottawa Police Services Board is hosting an information and discussion session entitled "Let's Chat About Racial Profiling" Tuesday, November 30, 2010 from 6:45 to 9:30 pm at Confederation Learning Centre, Cafetorium at 1645 Woodroffe Ave.")

Ottawa's Somali community continues to react angrily to a police raid on a Somali-owned restaurant last week.
...
Police handcuffed all the black men inside the restaurant, but not the one white man. The owner had to be taken to hospital after, he says, police banged his head against the wall. No gun was found and no charges were laid
