两名RCMP官员在2024年枪杀15岁的萨姆森克里少年霍斯闪电后不会面临指控. Two RCMP officers won’t face charges after shooting 15-year-old Hoss Lightning, a Samson Cree teen, in 2024.

艾伯塔的警察监督员ASIRT(ASIRT)认为,对于2024年8月30日在Wetaskiwin枪杀15岁的Hoss Lightning的两名加拿大皇家骑警不会提出刑事指控。 Alberta’s police watchdog, ASIRT, has found no criminal charges will be filed against two RCMP officers who shot and killed 15-year-old Hoss Lightning in Wetaskiwin on August 30, 2024. 这名青少年是Samson Cree部落的成员,在军官认为他正在拿背包中的火器时遭到枪击,尽管没有发现任何武器。 The teen, a member of the Samson Cree Nation, was shot after officers believed he was reaching for a firearm in his backpack, though no weapon was found. 监视录像显示,他以前曾交出一把砍刀和刀,当时处于困境,认知延迟相当于9岁。 Surveillance footage showed he had previously handed over a machete and knife and was acting in distress, with a cognitive delay equivalent to a nine-year-old. 警官声称他们担心自己的生命,报告的结论是,根据《刑法》,他们使用武力在法律上是合理的。 Officers claimed they feared for their lives, and the report concluded their use of force was legally justified under the Criminal Code. 这项决定引起了土著倡导团体的强烈抗议,他们继续要求进行系统改革和全国调查警察使用武力涉及土著人的情况。 The decision has sparked outcry from Indigenous advocacy groups, who continue to demand systemic reform and a national inquiry into police use of force involving Indigenous people.
