New Brunswick Premier open to shared, independent police oversight with neighbouring provinces

“That would be the criteria for us, ‘How do we have the right people available, to do a truly independent analysis, because that’s what people want.’” Mr. Higgs told reporters Tuesday.

Calls for greater police oversight were reignited as the Indigenous community in New Brunswick raises concerns about the shooting, which occurred after police were called to check on Ms. Moore’s well-being. “I don’t want to beat up on the cop, but if you ask me what happened, a young girl in town got murdered. … You can say what you feel, but I believe this was another statistic of a murdered and missing Indigenous woman.”Police have had little to say about the shooting, other than describing it as an act of self-defence after the officer, who went to Ms. Moore’s apartment around 2:30 a.m. for what they describe as a wellness check, was approached by a woman with a knife.

That’s a problem, says David Coon, Leader of the Green Party of New Brunswick. He said investigators travelling from other provinces can be delayed getting to a shooting scene, or may not be able to interview witnesses fluently in their own language.

Look JOE BIDEN. What a crook. 8 years a vice president, and he will change a police law now?

So this is just police from other provinces investigating a possible crime by police ?
