Sunday, 26 July, 2026

This week we welcome back two longtime police officers, forensic indent specialist, Tom Juby, and use of force expert, Calvin Lawrence, to discuss the video of police killing a suspect in a North Vancouver Plaza. The shooting victim had been disarmed of a knife by the person who filmed the subsequent police encounter. Tom and Calvin have major problems with how the operation unfolded, which has been wrapped in secrecy since last Tuesday when the shooting happened. Also this week, updates on the charges against the person accused of breaking the window of the NS Premier's car, Delta, BC mayor George Harvie is concerned about port expansion in his city, and the RCMP unveiled a new look for their front line vehicles.
