Police Intervention and Brandon Maurice

: Violence resulting in a death in the context of a police intervention -- whether the victim is young or not -- is simply revolting, according to Huffington Post Canada. A lethal police intervention that raises questions Brandon was shot and killed not far from his hometown of Maniwaki, which has a population of about 4,000 people and is adjacent to the Anishinabeg community of Kitigan Zibi, about 300 kilometres northwest of Montreal. When a friend told me that her teenaged cousin, Brandon Maurice, was shot and killed by a Sûreté du Québec agent early in the morning of November 16, I was shocked and outraged. His death went almost completely unnoticed in the media. Since investigations of police by police are inherently flawed, there is a serious concern that we will never know what actually happened that night. Yet, a 17-year-old adolescent killed by the police in the context of a banal driving violation is newsworthy, particularly in light of the the fact that more than 50 people, most of whom were marginalized, have been killed in police operations in Quebec since 2005.* That the Service de Police de la Ville de Montréal has been mandated to investigate Brandon death is particularly scandalous.
