Jean-Loup Lapointe's case (part 1)

Arbitrary search refusal
Leads to four bullets

When
We're August 9, 2008. It is 7:10 p.m. Two MPD's officers slowly come by in their squad car. The man and the woman single out a young guy playing dice with friends.
Where
It is taking place in Montréal-Nord, province of Quebec, Canada. The cruiser is driving in the parking lot behind Henri-Bourassa arena, near the intersection of Pascal street and Rolland boulevard.
What
First off, there is the stopping of a 22 years old kid. The officers make a search attempt. The youth is resisting. The MPD member throws the young guy on the ground. His friends and some passerby come closer. Another 18 years old kid shouts 'leave my brother alone'. He tries to get in the way.
How
While the policeman holds the 22 years old on the ground, he kills the 18 years old. Constable Jean-Loup Lapointe fires four bullets in total and severely wounds two other people at the scene.
Why
The 18 years old, who died later because of his wounds, falls on his back and weeps. The 22 years old is forcibly seated in the cruiser. He shatters the back window. A journalist reports the speculation that it is because his hands are bound. That way the journal hints that this 22 years old with brown skin and from Honduran descent has an aggressive character. Whereas, the police just killed his brother.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Quebec City collective: no longer exist.

Get involved !

 

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
