Police won’t face charges in Repentigny shooting
The police who opened fire on Jean René Junior Olivier in Repentigny in August 2021 will not face charges. The Crown says the police did not commit a crime because they are allowed to use force in self‑defence, and Olivier had a knife. Olivier’s mother had called 911 asking for help because her son was in an unstable mental state.

The unstable mental state being that he thought the police were coming for him.
A perfect recipe for disaster, systemic racism and police impunity on top of it all.
