Utoo Radio with Other News Sources - May 25 2024 - The Heiltsuk Nation has expressed concerns about a threat within the RCMP detachment in Bella Bella, Canada, stemming from social media posts discovered under the name Adrian Rubenstein.

These posts were deemed unacceptable and racist, leading to mistrust of the RCMP.

The Heiltsuk Nation claims that time has prevented the RCMP from launching a code of conduct investigation that would automatically take Robinson off active duty.

The RCMP has stated that they are committed to finding the "right balance between addressing concerns through a fair process and the importance of individuals/community having trust and confidence in their police officers and the RCMP."

The Heiltsuk Nation has been informed that a transfer is underway but could take up to 90 days. Robinson will continue to serve the community under the supervision of another officer.

The Heiltsuk Nation has called for collaboration with the RCMP when it comes to hiring, as the delay in this process is seen as a failure by the RCMP to protect the community from past and current trauma and ongoing harm.
