A year after Repentigny police fatally shot Andy Stark's cousin, Jean René Junior Olivier, Black residents of the Montreal suburb are reeling.
Marie-Mireille Bence says she will never forgive herself for calling the police.
People gathered for a sit-in at Repentigny City Hall to commemorate Olivier, Monday evening, for a second time. He died on Aug. 1, 2021, after his mother, Marie-Mireille Bence, called police to her home for help when he was experiencing a mental health crisis. Alain Babineau, a director of the Red Coalition — a lobby aiming to eliminate racial profiling in Canada —is calling for the "Quebec government to take over the police force."
