Lana Sinclair Speaks Out Lana Sinclair spoke to Josh Sigurdson of Winnipeg Alternative Media on November 13th, 2014 during a rally/march against police brutality. On Halloween night, police came to Lana Sinclairs home and begun questioning her. During the questioning, one officer started poking her in the chest and using racial slurs. When she told him not to poke her in the chest, the officer swung at Lana. According to Lana, she tried to block his attempts only to be brutally beaten by the officer in front of her 8 year old son who was traumatized and was still in his Halloween costume. This was of course traumatic to Lana and her son Sinclair has an older son who is actually a police officer. Lana Sinclair does not have a criminal record and told us she strives to uphold the law. The events of Lana Sinclairs beating, her bruised face and body, have led to serious unrest in the city of Winnipeg. People have been smart enough to not riot, but protesters including WAMs own Josh Sigurdson held off traffic at Portage and Main for nearly a half hour later in the night on the 13th of November. With women being molested, attacked and beaten by Winnipeg Police recently, people are furious. Its worth holding up traffic one day out of the year. These are serious issues that need to be understood and assessed. When the police force is overstaffed and theyre spending time intimidating people and protesters instead of doing more to stop the epidemic of aboriginal women being raped and murdered in Winnipeg, there is absolutely a major issue with priority and ethics within the police department. Stand up and support women like Lana Sinclair against police brutality! This issue is growing quickly!
