Police shooting: they get the best lawyers

Pierre Coriolan was shot dead by SPVM police in June 2017. Since that time, the city has spent $190,601 defending the six cops involved, while Coriolan’s family has only received $5,000 to cover legal fees. This item also goes on to say that both the Quebec government and the Police Brotherhood provided additional lawyering for the police side too.

There were accounts in February of the coroner’s inquest, but I don’t see anything yet about a report. Seems a little odd that it took nearly 3 years to get to the inquest stage, but I could be mistaken about that.
