A medical examiner determined Corey Rogers, who was intoxicated, died of suffocation while lying in the cell with the spit hood covering his mouth as he appeared to be vomiting.Crown attorney Chris Vanderhooft asked Nova Scotia Supreme Court Justice Kevin Coady for two-year prison sentences for Daniel Fraser and Cheryl Gardner, who were found guilty by a jury last November of criminal negligence causing death.

Hours before his death, Rogers was arrested outside a Halifax children’s hospital where his wife had given birth to their child the day before.

Two police body cameras capture the struggle leading to George Floyd's deathPolice body camera footage showing Minneapolis police pointing a gun at George Floyd and struggling with him during his fatal arrest was released by the court on Monday. It doesn't matter if there was a 'struggle.' Police are not empowered with the right to summarily execute somebody. Why didn't I see any evidence of racism in the body cam footage? If the narrative is true and the cops killed him on purpose because they're racist, why is there not a single instance of racism? The narrative is a lie. Regardless of the phentayl and alleged phony bill. That is a HUGE man. He could have manhandled those cops if he was in good enough shape to. He obviously wasn't healthy. When you start saying good byes to your family you know you're not doing well.

10/3 podcast: Rape sentencing shows justice system failing survivorsThe reduced sentence for an Edmonton man convicted of five sexual assaults has once again raised concerns about how Canada\u0026rsquo\u003Bs justice system handles cases of sexual violence. Just think how many people could be raped and never describe the attacker because of mandated masks and face coverings. That applies to people out to murder, run drugs or sexual predators of children. Let that sink in pro maskers. I remember years ago a daughter of a politician got raped(B.C. I think) and he was out raged at the sentence. Said the laws need to be changed and was going to do something about it. It's obvious they never were.
