Aug 31: A 15-year-old boy was tragically killed in a confrontation with RCMP officers south of Edmonton, Alberta, in the Samson Cree Nation area. The incident occurred early this morning, prompting a significant police response and the immediate launch of an investigation. The RCMP has confirmed that the youth was involved in a confrontation with officers that resulted in the use of lethal force.
According to initial reports, RCMP officers were responding to a call when they encountered the teenager. Details of the confrontation remain unclear, but the RCMP has indicated that the situation escalated rapidly, leading to the use of firearms. The boy was pronounced dead at the scene, and his identity has not yet been disclosed pending notification of his family.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) has been called in to investigate the circumstances surrounding the confrontation. ASIRT is tasked with conducting an independent investigation into incidents involving police use of force to ensure transparency and accountability. This investigation will seek to determine the events leading up to the shooting and whether the actions of the RCMP officers were justified.
This tragic event has shocked the local community and raised concerns about police encounters with young individuals. Community leaders and advocates are calling for a thorough and transparent investigation to address questions surrounding the incident and to provide clarity for the affected family and the public. The outcome of the ASIRT investigation will be closely watched as it progresses.
Tragic! A child of 15 called 911 for help and what he received was being killed instead. Would this have happened had he been Caucasian? Questions for the RCMP to answer, which should have already have been disclosed to the public.
1. Were the officers body cameras on and activated?
2. What “weapons” were removed from the boy?
3. What was the cause of the “confrontation?”
4. Was it started by the boy or the officers in order to provoke the boy as an excuse to kill him?
5. Why were guns used when a taser would have been sufficient?
6. Why are the two officers still on duty?
7. Detailed information is being withheld and that makes this killing even more suspicious.
