2:31 Fatal police shooting of Quebec teen reignites bodycam debate

Related: The fatal police shooting of 15-year-old Nooran Rezayi in Quebec has reignited calls for mandatory body-worn cameras for police officers. As public pressure mounts, experts remain divided on the effectiveness, cost, and privacy implications of the technology. Dan Spector reports.

Police on Montreal’s South Shore are urging for calm ahead of protests planned to honour the 15-year-old boy shot and killed by police last weekend.

A senior officer with Longueuil, Que., police told reporters Friday that the force has information suggesting this weekend’s events may be co-opted by those seeking confrontations with officers.

Fifteen-year-old Nooran Rezayi was shot dead by police on Sunday after officers responded to a 911 call about a group of armed young people in a public place in Longueuil.
