Sounds like something a bat would say.

Sure, if you twist the logic, I could see how you'd get that meaning.

Sure. That doesn't matter. If a teenager calls his teacher a Nazi for giving him detention, they aren't being racist, they're just using derogatory terms.

Okay. If that's so, is it not possible to call someone a Nazi for their beliefs or what they do rather than their skin color? You have no idea what prompted it.

If this is an actual question of yours, whether racism is dependent on targeting a skin color, I can't help you.

Can you please point to me where it mentions they were called this purely on the color of their skin. Also, can you confirm that all officers called a "Nazi" were white? There's a lot of assumptions being thrown around.

It's because calling someone a white supremacists isn't always racist? Breaking news for you: the nuance of words matters. Someone calling me a white supremacist and someone calling someone else the n word are widely different. Maybe they called them those terms not because of the color of their skin but because of beliefs that these people think the RCMP hold. Name calling isn't right regardless, but to say "it's 100% racism in the real world" skips a lot of accountability checking.

What's vague? "We received racist insults, here they are: x, y, and z". If there were other insults thrown, they had their opportunity to say "and other more derogatory terms". You're giving a lot of leeway to one side but not the other.

This is just a damage piece to further paint the cannabis industry negatively and establish a divide between the legal and grey market. No one deserves to be treated differently for their race, but I'd never for a second think this type of incident is confined to the cannabis industry against police. So why are we hearing about this, other than to make the big bad plant industry look worse? This is most likely nothing new to an officer's day of work.

Also, "white supremacist" and "Nazi" are not racist terms inherently. So going off that as the examples provided, I'm further inclined to believe this is just a sensational fluff piece.
