Lethbridge Police Chief says viral video comments “disgusting” but more context needed
LETHBRIDGE – “This isn’t the first racist rant we’ve heard in Canada. It won’t be the last.”
Lethbridge Police Chief Rob Davis says people need to stick up for one another when they hear someone uttering racist and demeaning comments like those Kelly Pocha made at the Denny’s restaurant April 21.
That night, by her own admission in an exclusive interview with LNN, Cranbrook B.C.’s Kelly Pocha had been drinking. She and her husband stopped in at the restaurant and ordered some food.
Pocha says several men were staring at her, laughing and making comments that she believed were directed towards her. She said she was “provoked” and became angry – and the video that shows her making racist comments to Monir Omerzai and his friends were her reaction to those taunts.
