The 1970s were awful for tweens and teen girls.

This Hamilton police officer is a white nationalist. "McNabb, who researches criminal justice policy and administration, said there's a blue wall of silence — an unspoken expectation officers will protect one another at all costs." #cdnpoli #policing www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
