It happened on the same day that we had what organizers called a "solidarity rally" in Moose jaw - the local version of the anti-racism / anti-police brutality demonstrations that are taking place across North America. 

It was Saturday morning.  I drove my vehicle down a side street and there it was.  Real life drama unfolding on that street.  

There were three police cars and four local police officers attempting to arrest an indigenous woman.  She was clearly resisting. 

She appeared to be crying and she appeared to be angry.   

I pulled over, kept my distance and watched the situation unfold with hopes this tense situation would be resolved peacefully. 

I couldn't hear what was being said but it was clear that the officers were calm and doing their best to be reasonable. 

Within a few minutes, the woman complied.  She was arrested and handcuffed and she took her place in the back of the police car. 

And, just before she stepped into the car, she said something to one of the officers.  She then turned around and he fixed her hair for her. 

There was turmoil and trauma but the local police delivered calm conversation and eventually received cooperation. 

I just thought you should know.
