MONTREAL — The mother of a Black man from Repentigny, Que., who was killed by police in 2021 has filed a lawsuit against the city and its police force.
“I know, no matter what happens, my son will not return to life. However, I’m here so … that another family doesn’t have to go through what I’m going through right now. It’s very painful,” she said.
The watchdog said that moments before his death, Junior Olivier dropped the knife, before picking it up again and running toward the officers, two of whom opened fire.“My son had a steak knife in his hand. There were six police officers. The six police officers can’t restrain a skinny guy with a steak knife in his hand?” she said.Article content
Less than two weeks ago, Quebec’s Crown prosecutor’s office decided there were no grounds to lay criminal charges against any of the police officers in connection with the fatal shooting.
