Show Notes

On November 11, 2024, the SIU reported a Hamilton police officer and another man injured in a shootout, later corrected to reveal two officers killed Erixon Kabera, a Rwandan immigrant and community member, while wounding one cop. Kaberas family and community express outrage and question the justified force claim. A linguistic analysis of news articles reveals a pattern of police using neutral language and families using emotional language, with nearly half of the stories excluding civilian voices entirely. Amplifying family and community perspectives could push real accountability in these cases.
