Nunavik’s Inuit Women’s Association says the way police dealt with an arrest in Salluit last month reflects a growing disconnect between the police service and the Inuit communities they serve.

A video of the incident on July 18 shows a woman being pulled out of her car window, and into police custody, all while witnesses yell, “she’s having a seizure”.
