Episode Details

In a wild February 2023 incident in Winnipeg, a man livestreamed his standoff with police, firing a pellet gun at a school and later appearing on his roof armed — even as flames erupted from a cigarette he’d dropped. Officers fired beanbag rounds after he refused to surrender, despite claiming his hands were up. The Independent Investigation Unit later cleared the officer, saying the response was justified given the suspect’s threats, calls to his cop cousin, and attempts to flee. Though bruised, the suspect survived — and later admitted he was mentally ill and waiting for his girlfriend.
