Ali's family, who emigrated from Somalia in 1988, believe racism has led to the police not putting the same resources into the investigation of Ali's murder.Well, lemme think... is there anything else that could factor into the equation here?
"Is it because Ali was a young, black man?
While police say co-operation from the community is improving, this is not so in the case of Kimel Foster, 21, who was shot to death outside a Vaughan and Oakwood Avenue bar on July 21.No sense getting pissed at the members of "the community" and their asshat "code of silence", huh?
Detective Terry Browne said there were many people around, but most have not been helpful.
“If the community wanted to put its collective heads together, this one could have and should have been solved,” Det. Browne said. Mr. Foster was not a known gangster, but police have dealt with him before.
Let's just blame those racist cops.

Creba was killed on the busiest street in Toronto on Boxing Day, the street's busiest day of the year. "I can't think of a homicide which occurred in an area where there were more potential witnesses, more security cameras," he said.
