Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? Opinion Officers do not go to work planning to take a life, Winnipeg Police Service acting chief Art Stannard told reporters during a Sunday-evening news conference. He made the comment after police shot and killed a man outside a shopping centre on the west edge of the city. “They come to work to serve and protect the community,” he said. SCREEN CAPTURE A video circulating widely on social media shows Winnipeg police shooting and killing a male outside a bus shelter at Unicity shopping centre Sunday after they say he stabbed an officer in the throat. I truly believe that. I also believe there are circumstances when police have no other option but to use lethal force when their lives or safety — or the safety of others — are in jeopardy. What happened Sunday outside a bus shelter at the Unicity shopping centre is likely one of those situations. It’s important not to jump to conclusions before all available evidence is assessed in cases where police use lethal force against another human being. There is a reasonably independent process in place for such examinations to occur through the province’s police oversight agency. Nevertheless, if what police are reporting is true — that a man with an edged weapon allegedly stabbed an officer in the neck and failed to drop his weapon as he advanced towards two cops who repeatedly ordered him to drop it — it appears, on the surface, to be a cut-and-dried case. I have no reason to doubt what police are saying in this case is true. Video evidence of the shooting from a bystander posted on social media appears to corroborate the statement, even though it tells only a fraction of the story. Two police officers are seen and heard shouting “put it down, man!” and “drop it!” to the suspect, who is standing in close proximity to them. The video appears to show the man does not drop whatever he may have been holding and instead starts walking towards the officers, who likely had no option at that point other than to use lethal force to stop the threat. It is not the job of a police officer to wrestle an armed suspect to the ground or to use less-lethal options, such as electric-shock weapons or pepper spray. Doing so would likely put their own lives and safety at risk. They are trained to shoot at “centre mass” in cases such as these to stop the threat. If they try to shoot the suspect in a limb or elsewhere in an attempt to avoid a fatality, if they miss, it could cost them their own lives. Cops don’t go to work every day to take a life, but they also don’t go to work to put their own lives — or the lives of others — needlessly at risk. They go to work to protect the community and they have a right to protect themselves in the line of duty. They also have a responsibility to use the least amount of force necessary under the circumstances, which they learn through use-of-force training, and should be held accountable if they don’t. Still, it’s important to keep in mind that incidents such as these usually occur in a matter of seconds. Police have to make extremely quick life-and-death decisions. This does not appear to be a case where a mental-health care worker could have been on the scene to de-escalate the situation, especially after police say an officer had already been stabbed in the neck. Imagine if the suspect in this case was not stopped and it resulted in death or injury to others? Police would have been accused of not doing their job to protect the community. Fortunately in this case, because it took place outside a shopping centre, there is likely other camera footage available to Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba investigators, as they try to piece together what happened. Shopping centres, their parking lots and many other public places are commonly equipped with surveillance cameras. Mostly, though, this case is just tragic. What happened in this man’s life that led him to allegedly attack an officer and refuse to follow orders when police demanded he drop his weapon? Why would anyone walk towards two cops with their firearms drawn, barking “put it down, man!” and not expect to get shot? It’s incomprehensible to most of us. But there are likely sad and unfortunate reasons behind it. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. We now know the shooting victim, Jordan Daniel Charlie, 24, has a history of violence and a criminal record. He suffered from depression while in prison and attempted suicide while incarcerated. Regardless, this was a human being who lost his life. Even if he was responsible for his own actions, the situation is no less devastating. It is also tragic for the police officers who discharged their firearms. It will affect them for the rest of their lives. They will be scrutinized and investigated and may forever wonder if they could have done something different in the moment. They did not go to work that day to take a life. But they may have had no other choice. tom.brodbeck@freepress.mb.ca Tom Brodbeck is a columnist with the and has over 30 years experience in print media. He joined the in 2019.

Jonah Goldberg: What if most Americans aren't bitterly divided?
Ole Miss Player Takes Shot At Florida Before Saturday's Showdown
Photo: Castanet file photo A South Okanagan teenager who filmed an underaged sexual partner and threatened to share the footage has highlighted concerns about youth internet usage. In a case recently before the B.C. youth court system, a South Okanagan high school student — whose name and other identifying information is shielded due to youth privacy requirements — pleaded guilty in relation to an incident in 2023. Court heard that the teen, who Castanet will refer to with the pseudonym Kevin, took intimate photos and videos of himself engaging in consensual sexual activity with a child of a similar age, in the range of 13-15. While the sex was consensual, the filming meets the definition of child sexual exploitation imagery, which is illegal to create or possess. The victim denied knowledge of being filmed. In September of the same year, Kevin threatened the victim with releasing the video to her new partner, and taunted her with suggestions that he had already shared the imagery with friends, according to what was shared in court. The victim reported the incident, and a subsequent arrest and search of Kevin's phone showed the victim on video as well as multiple other saved explicit images of similarly-aged girls. The victim told the court she continues to struggle with psychological trauma from the incident. Crown counsel Danielle Borgia called it a “unique” situation and a “big problem” with teenagers today using social media apps such as Snapchat in explicit ways. “I think the real issue here that takes us into the criminal charges [...] is the threat,” Borgia said. Judge Gregory Koturbash accepted Kevin's guilty plea and called it a "sad day" for both Kevin and the victim. He sentenced Kevin to a conditional discharge, meaning no jail time and strict probation requirements for 18 months. At the end, if he follows all the rules, Kevin will not have a record as an adult. The sentence, the judge noted, takes into account that youth do not yet have fully developed brains and can learn from a mistake. “This [court system] isn’t the best system sometimes for solving these sorts of situations but it’s the only system we have, and it does take a lot of courage to come forward,” Koturbash said, praising the victim for speaking up. "It’s really difficult for the message to get out there as to how damaging these sorts of things can be [to youth involved]," he added, saying "kids don't watch the news." "But some way, somehow, young people need to understand that sending out or threatening to send out intimate images for revenge [...] can have such devastating consequences.” Digital literacy and concerns about explicit content are addressed at School District 67 schools, said superintendent Todd Manuel. He could not comment on the specific case, but confirmed "consent education is an integrated component in our sexual health curriculum to teach the importance of personal boundaries and respectful interactions both online and in person," in an emailed statement. "SD67 schools often share information with parents and guardians about opportunities to sign up for a variety of online sessions and DPAC parent engagement nights to help families to support their children's safe use of digital technologies, covering strategies for open communication and setting boundaries," Manuel explained. "For example, the Expect Respect and A Safe Education session 'Establishing Safe, Caring, and Respectful Digital Communities' is offered several times a year and has been very popular with families." Manuel also highlighted that SD67 schools offer access to support when needed, including helping with connecting to RCMP when needed and educating about the BC Intimate Images Protection Service, available online here. "We appreciate the support that our school communities, Ministry of Education and Child Care, RCMP and community partners continue to provide to our students regarding the proper use of social media," Manuel said. "These issues require our collective response to continue to build safety and education for all children."

Alyssa Nakken, first full-time female coach in MLB history, leaving Giants to join Guardians CLEVELAND (AP) — Alyssa Nakken, the first woman to coach in an MLB game, is leaving the San Francisco Giants to join the Cleveland Guardians.

NBA memo to players urges increased vigilance regarding home security following break-ins MIAMI (AP) — The NBA is urging its players to take additional precautions to secure their homes following reports of recent high-profile burglaries of dwellings owned by Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis and Kansas City Chiefs teammates Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. In a memo sent to team officials, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, the NBA revealed that the FBI has connected some burglaries to “transnational South American Theft Groups” that are “reportedly well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices.” Ancient meets modern as a new subway in Greece showcases archaeological treasures THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — Thessaloniki, Greece’s second-largest city, is opening a new subway system, blending ancient archaeological treasures with modern transit technology like driverless trains and platform screen doors.

Jabbari is a British dancer who had accused Majors of subjecting her to escalating incidents of physical and verbal abuse during their relationship. Representatives for Majors didn’t respond to emails seeking comment Friday. Jabbari’s lawyer said the suit was “favorably settled” and her client is moving on with “her head held high.” Majors was convicted of misdemeanor assault and harassment last December and sentenced to a yearlong counseling program.

Christmas TV movies are in their Taylor Swift era, with two Swift-inspired films airing this year Two of the new holiday movies coming to TV this season have a Taylor Swift connection that her fans would have no problem decoding. “Christmas in the Spotlight” debuts Saturday on Lifetime. It stars Jessica Lord as the world’s biggest pop star and Laith Wallschleger, playing a pro football player, who meet and fall in love, not unlike Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. On Nov. 30, Hallmark will air “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.” Instead of a nod to Swift, it’s an ode to family traditions and bonding, like rooting for a sports team. Hallmark’s headquarters is also in Kansas City.
