## Resource

A judge in Alberta has dismissed break-in charges against a 13-year-old Indigenous boy after finding police misconduct “disturbing,” citing excessive force, threats, and humiliation—even after the teen surrendered. Security footage showed officers swearing, pointing weapons, and kneeling on his back, despite his compliance. The judge emphasized the teen’s vulnerability, noting his small stature and lack of aggression or weapons. Officers allegedly mocked him and threatened violence when he cried in custody. One officer previously faced assault charges, later stayed, raising concerns about systemic integrity. The teen’s lawyer said he’s now seeking recovery from trauma and substance use, but fears police—a stark reversal from his childhood dream of becoming an officer.
