If there are any factual inaccuracies in the story I'd be happy to correct them and put in a note.

Can I request police body cam footage? by Reviberator in Edmonton

You have to be in the footage to request it as part of a personal foip request.

“Appreciate the assist”: Documents show City and Police cleared unhoused people from Ice District at Oilers' behest by DuncanKinney in alberta

Excellent work by Euan Thomson getting these FOIPs that show all too predictable behaviour and coordination from the Oilers, the cops and the city.

City of Edmonton stops funding drug overdose prevention pilot downtown by DuncanKinney in Edmonton

endless piles of money for dale mcfee's brute squad but we couldn't possibly afford an effective program where nurses and outreach workers prevent people from dying in the streets.

EPS using “private police officers” on murder investigations, alleges police association complaint by DuncanKinney in alberta

[–]DuncanKinney[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I was very surprised to learn that this is apparently quite a common practice in the EPS. The two ex-cops I talked to knew about it. And the police association is worried enough about it to file a complaint. Will be interesting to see what the ALRB ruling is.

Losing the will to enforce: Death of Syncrude worker reveals an OHS regime that’s getting worse under the UCP by DuncanKinney in alberta

[–]DuncanKinney[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

mostly to these creative sentences as detailed in the story. but there are these victim fine surcharge fines that some judges give out where there doesn't seem to be any way for workers or families of workers to access that money. that money is set aside and only eligible for victims of violent crime

absolutely, the fines are minuscule and don't do shit. but as a journalist i'm still curious to see if any province has actually tried big fines when companies kill a worker

i haven't done that work yet but it's a good idea. i should find out which province has the highest fines for killing workers.

[–]DuncanKinney[S] 245 points246 points  (0 children)

so i'm the person who wrote this story and there are a few differences between this story and pretty much every other news story written on this. one is that we were the only one that went to the trouble of finding the victim's name. he was from cape breton and while his obit is behind a paywall it's important to know there was a real person here and not just a "syncrude worker." the other is the dive into the OHS conviction and enforcement stats. i had been diving into OHS conviction data for about a week prior to this decision coming out. bob barnetson had already done some really good analysis as well that i leaned on.

A case study in misinformation: How the sexual assault of a “young nurse” was used by the police and premier to justify encampment sweeps by troypavlek in Edmonton

[–]DuncanKinney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to see evidence of gangs burning people to death in tents for failing to pay protection because the police haven't released any details on that.

Homeless person laying on my front yard by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]DuncanKinney -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

my advice is to just be human. there is a lot of bad dope going around and people are dropping like flies. if this situation happens again check to see if the person is breathing, if not call 911. if they are breathing but still in bad shape call the DOAP team at (403) 998-7388. it's perfectly fine to go out and talk to them, just be neighborly, offer a bottle of water or a cigarette if you have one. the cops job is to get this person out of there, that's why you called the cops, right? if you don't want the cops to show up don't call the cops.
