about

(click on a victim's name to read/learn about the circumstances of each murder)

I come from a family of cops - good ones, and others I'm sure weren't perfect. As such, however, I have a very strong opinion of how they SHOULD be doing their jobs to reflect their standing and position in the community.

I strongly believe that any one of them - and politicians - found guilty of a crime should serve double the penalty that a civilian would, because in addition to committing said crime, they're also breaking the public's trust, and there's got to be a price for that.

In Québec, where I'm from, corruption is a huge problem in most spheres of public duty, but we're seeing more and more that excessive force and police brutality are becoming the norm, seemingly imported from the U.S., but not quite, as the mentions of Anthony Griffin and Fredy Villanueva will show.

I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the lives that were lost uselessly at the hands of a few dangerous people who should not have been put on the frontlines in uniform, so that their names aren't forgotten and that we can all, as a society, as co-inhabiters of the same space, learn and evolve from these situations.

There's enough shit out there that'll kill us, we don't need to be doing it to ourselves as well.

Half the proceeds will be given to organizations who fight police brutality in courts and by lobbying lawmakers.
