Amber Joseph says when she arrived on the scene just after her brother Steven Dedam was shot by the RCMP, she was shocked.
“When I came in they didn’t have compression on him,” she told APTN News. “He was shot three times. The first thing they did was handcuff him and say he was ‘under arrest.’
“He was shot in the chest.”
I don’t see any evidence of lying from OP, rather it seems like OP only checked https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/rcmp-shooting-elsipogtog-family-statement-1.7321343 instead of going through every page.
And OP is technically correct that there are three more names not mentioned by your sources, but that’s besides the point. You would no doubt find them if you looked - but I didn’t hear about these names back on TV or the radio when they were first reported (or even see it in print when I got the newspaper for free on the TTC).
So I would definitely that an awareness issue still exists in the public mindset, though at least it’s good to here that the House is debating it…
