a "confrontation" occurred that led to two Mounties firing their guns, according to a news release RCMP issued Friday afternoon. The boy later died in hospital.

Passive voice cop murder descriptions are a phenomenon across the settler world

Officers were able to confiscate them, but a "confrontation" occurred that led to two Mounties firing their guns, according to a news release RCMP issued Friday afternoon. The boy later died in hospital.

By their own admission he was unarmed when the cops murdered him. I won't be surprised when ASIRT (staffed by a bunch of ex-cops) "investigates" and find that the pigs did nothing wrong, they'll get a paid vacation at worst. ASIRT is a joke, it exists to provide a thin veneer of police "oversight" that somehow always finds that the pigs were right when they murder someone
