A Winnipeg woman's complaint about police conduct was rejected because she missed the 30-day filing deadline by a day — a time limit that only exists in Manitoba.

In February, Tuel was killed by police on the sidewalk of a busy street in southeast Calgary. Police say they used non-lethal weapons in an attempt to disarm him, then shot and killed Tuel after he attacked a police dog.

Tuel’s family and the Sudanese community say he was suffering from PTSD at the time he was killed.

His death has the community and family members asking whether police employed de-escalation techniques properly and whether police forces are properly educated on how to respond to individuals in mental health crises.

It has also raised questions on whether former child soldiers like Tuel have access to the supports they need in Canada to manage the trauma they’ve endured.

Calgary police declined an interview request for this story, as the incident is currently under investigation by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team.

Woman called 911 after man followed her and exposed himself. Nobody showed up

"If you are a woman in Calgary, Alberta, this video is for you."

Those are the words of a young woman who posted a 53-second video to TikTok after being followed by a man in a truck who then exposed himself and masturbated in front of her.

The story was posted to social media by both the alleged victim and a woman who witnessed the aftermath and supported the stranger as she tried to get police to respond.

More than 40,000 people have watched the young woman's video.
'Called the police … nobody came'

Both issued warnings to other women who find themselves in similar situations.

"Called the police, waited 41 minutes, nobody came," said the victim, whom CBC News will identify as MJ.

Calgary police say officers met with the victim Friday and "the investigation is ongoing."

"We understand there are frustrations and acknowledge requests for more information regarding our response time in this instance, and we are working to determine exactly what occurred," CPS said in its statement.

Based on MJ's description of the incident, the man could be facing a charge of performing an indecent act in public.

According to police, an officer pulled over a vehicle for a traffic stop in Markham in October 2021. Police said the officer removed the driver and passenger from the vehicle and searched it. Police also said the officer, during the search, found some cocaine in a purse that belonged to the passenger.

"The officer claimed after the fact that he had observed cannabis and cocaine in the vehicle and that was the reason for the search," police said in the release.

"No physical evidence or information from other officers at the stop confirmed the presence of cocaine or cannabis visible prior to the search."
