Expert testifies at Winnipeg inquest that police training needs updates to better account for age and cultural backgrounds.

An expert testified at a Winnipeg inquest into the 2020 fatal shooting of 16-year-old Eishia Hudson that police training needs updates to better account for age and cultural backgrounds. Peter Rampat, a former Toronto officer, argued the officer’s decision to shoot was unreasonable and inconsistent with best practices, criticizing the lack of modern de-escalation strategies. This testimony contrasts with a previous expert's finding that the officer followed protocol, as the inquest continues to examine the circumstances of the incident.
