VANCOUVER --
The death of his daughter after she was hit with rubber bullets brought Ron Rauch to the conclusion that looking for answers from British Columbia's police watchdog is a “waste of time.”
Lisa Rauch was shot three times in the back of the head by an officer when police were called on Christmas Day 2019 to a report of a woman acting aggressively in a social housing suite, says a report by the Independent Investigations Office.
As a special committee reviews British Columbia's Police Act, some families would like to see changes ranging from how police respond to mental health calls to more power for oversight agencies.
