'I need justice': Community rallies around 28-year-old father killed by police (edmonton.ctvnews.ca)

Chants of "no justice, no peace" were heard in downtown Edmonton on Saturday at a rally in honour of a man shot and killed by an Edmonton police officer.

A crowd gathered outside the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) headquarters to call for the suspension of the officer who fatally shot 28-year-old father Mathios Arkangelo on a residential street in Fraser the night of June 29.

At the time, police said he matched the description of a driver who had walked away from a single-vehicle rollover on Anthony Henday Drive.

A compilation of security footage gathered by the family was posted to YouTube. In it, the interaction between Mathios and the officer leading up to the shooting can be seen from multiple angles.

There was exactly zero 'confrontation'. The cop pulls up, Mathios walks around a bit, then the cop fucking shoots him.

It's beyone belief ASIRT let him off with some retraining and no charges.

Officer shoots first black dude he finds. It's the North American police protocol, of course.
