Watch: 'Shocking' Racist Altercation Over Parking Spot Caught On Video In Abbotsford

Darpan News Desk , 24 Oct, 2016 11:16 AM
    A disturbing slur-ridden video appears to take place in a parking lot on South Fraser Way and Pauline Street in Abbotsford is circling social media. In it, a Caucasian man verbally assaults another person behind the camera, apparently over a parking space.
     
    In the 2:20 minute video, the man calls the person a “Hindu” and a “P*ki” who “should go back to India.”
     
    When the man asked him when he came to Canada, he replied: “I was born in Canada”.
     
     
    He also calls him a “camel-riding motherf*****” and other racial slurs not appropriate for publication.
     
    Early on in the clip, he bangs his chest and shouts “white power motherf*****.”
     
    HATE CRIMES OFFICERS IN ABBOTSFORD PROBE MAN LINKED TO RACIST INVECTIVE
     
    Officers with the Abbotsford Police Department have contacted the hate crimes unit and Crown counsel as they investigate a man shouting racial taunts.
     
    Sgt. Judy Bird says the disturbing incident on Friday has been posted online. 
     
    She describes a man upset about a ticket issued for parking in a reserved space getting out of a truck and walking aggressively way toward the person who issued the ticket and someone else who is recording the incident.
     
    Bird says police are not yet certain if the initial target of the slurs by a passenger in the truck was an Abbotsford bylaw officer or an employee of a private parking firm.
     
    She says the person who was recording the incident is also taunted with a series of expletives that are shocking and upsetting.
     
    Baird says everyone involved has now been identified and further progress on the case is expected.
     
    Earlier last week, plastic Ziploc baggies were found outside dozens of homes in Mission and Abbotsford, containing rice and slogan-filled photocopies.
     
    The photocopied flyers left in Abbotsford and Mission include slogans, a phone hotline and website.
     
    The URL listed on the poster pulls up a website featuring the N-word, racist cartoons and memes, and a message claiming that the KKK Knights are not a "hate group," but an organization against drugs, homosexuality, abortion and interracial relationships. The site also includes anti-Semitic messages.
