Winnipeg Free Press@winnipegfreepress.com · 6mo ago

A targeted effort to place more officers on city buses appears to have reduced instances of crime, according to new data released by the Winnipeg Police Service.

you will find increased police surveillance, police power and police budgets

I wonder if the Free Press will report the testimony of Renee Good’s killers in this way

A Winnipeg police officer testified Thursday that as he gripped his service weapon in one hand and the door handle of a stolen Jeep in the other, he was forced to jump out of the way when the vehicle began to reverse — which prompted his partner to fatally shoot the driver.

“Dreger told the inquest that liquor store thefts at the time were heightened and sometimes resulted in violence against employees and bystanders.” Implication: therefore, murdering Eishia Hudson was justified. Don’t believe their lies
