December 13, 2024
A machete-wielding man shot with anti-riot guns after lighting fires at Calgary City Hall ended up losing a testicle in what Alberta’s police watchdog is calling a necessary use of force.Police responded in August 2022 to calls about a man breaking into the building and setting at least three fires, the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team said in a report released Thursday.ASIRT executive director Michael Ewenson said officers arrived to find a man holding a machete and demanded he drop it. The man refused, and police tried to disarm him using an anti-riot gun that shoots hard plastic bullets, also called an ARWEN.
