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'm with girlfreddy on this.

I don't recall watching this on TV the evening news, or hearing about it over the radio.

It's good that the major Canadian outlets are covering it online (and I hope in print?) but it sucks that the visibility is not so high. Unless you're watching the right feeds, it'd be easy to miss that this happened.

Their point was no one else is covering it and I clearly demonstrated that not only were they flat out lying, their own source covered it a day after every one of my sources published their articles.

I’m with girlfreddy on this.

Then you are equally wrong.

You'd have to provide a quote for that, as I don't see it.

FYI this ain't it,

And silence from main street news.

I'll refer you to this definition of "main street" to prevent further confusion, https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/main-street
