JUSTICE FOR THE TWINS!
All my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours 😢
This police department needs sm major changes…..
They dnt protect their ppl they euthenize them
Okay this is unacceptable we need a national review and complaint by First Nations and Metis Inuit across the country
Too much abuse of power disrespect and Murder of our people
Heartbreaking 💔
No bodycams? What is this, 2005? Get with the times.
10 since August!?!?!?!? Heartbreakiing. Policing needs a completely different mindset.
I am so sorry for your loss.❤ I hope the officer is held accountable.
Canada needs complete overhaul, reforms, and public inquiries against all police forces in Canada relating to police shootings, police misconducts against the indigenous communities. And defunding the police forces
The officers are lying they were never pepper sprayed or tased.
This is a serious and tragic story yet the person reporting it is using a singsong voice and sounds like a little girl reading from her diary. Seriously, APTN, do better. Find better reporters and treat our stories and people with the professionalism they deserve.
No native ever becomes violent im sure.
Maybe if Indians didnt break
laws?
JUSTICE FOR THE TWINS
💔
Where’s the body cam footage?
What fk man
Idk. The news leaving out a ton of information. Was the twins the ones who was called on?
This is typical police work with native people. We need to stand up!
