Mother Jones @motherjones.com · Oct 16

Moments after they shot his 19-year-old daughter, Diana, San Jose police rushed Jim Showman to an interrogation room, isolated him from his ex-wife, and questioned him for 27 minutes before revealing they'd killed her.

California has finally banned the practice.

California cops can no longer conceal police killings while interrogating loved ones for dirt

A Reveal investigation helped spark a crackdown on a disturbing, widespread practice.

If only #Longueuil police had issued a call for calm in its own police officers before they confronted a group of teenagers & one officer shot Nooran Rezayi to death soon after confronting the group.

Two different groups are gathering at the place where Nooran Rezayi was shot to death by a Longueuil police officer last week. One is doing a silent march and the other wants to protest.

Another police killing. INDECOM says the scene was visited, where it was examined and evidential material recovered, processed and packaged. The deceased's hands were swabbed for gunshot residue and the body photographed and sealed pending post mortem examination.

It was not an SPVM police officer who shot Nooran Rezayi, it was a Longueuil police officer.

That being said, the SPVM certainly has blood on its hands in terms of those people who have been shot to death by SPVM cops, inc. Nicholas Gibbs.

National Security Minister Horace Chang once again dismissed the use of body-worn cameras for the police with a vague comment that meant nothing to me. The cameras sit in rows on a desk somewhere, waiting to be used. @susangoffe.bsky.social

I documented the protests & vigils following the #SPVM #PoliceKilling of Nicholas Gibbs in #NDG.

In November 2017 I came across this "repurposed" 2017 municipal election campaign poster.
