Stop the Stack YYC

Join us on IG Live on Tuesday, September 22nd to hear Taylor discuss these charges from Ontario, the ongoing violence of poverty and being in a constant state of survival, and the incompetence of police and the legal system.

Between 2014 - 2025, "sexual misconduct" ranked 4th on a list of 10 most common allegations against RCMP officers. Still, we're told these actions are "one-off" events and the perpetrators are deserving of grace. Const. Bridget Morla was originally charged with sexual assault against two teen boys. It took place during a "boozy social event" in a hotel room in Airdrie in 2022. The result? A conditional discharge, meaning the charges against her will be withdrawn after her 18-month probation period. Justice Nick Devlin called it "a bizarre one-off that is really out of character". We say this is a regular component of police culture.

While his actions were found to be "serious" they were not considered a "criminal offence" because he didn't share them with anyone. This is the new world of AI combined with the continued carceral, misogynist world of policing, and it's just the beginning.

Calgary Police Constable Craig Stothard is facing two counts of second-degree murder after fatally shooting two men during a slow-speed pursuit in May 2023.

Levon Boyce Fox and Wesley Davidson were both killed when Stothard fired into a stolen cube van on Memorial Drive. A third occupant was also in the vehicle.

After more than two years of investigation, ASIRT laid the charges in July 2025. What stood out to many in the legal community was how quickly Stothard was released.
He was granted bail the same day he was charged — something several defence lawyers and former prosecutors described as “absolutely unheard of” for someone facing double murder charges. One senior Calgary defence lawyer said it was “frankly amazing” to see a reverse-onus double homicide case get before a Court of King’s Bench judge within hours. Another noted that civilian accused in similar cases often wait weeks or even over a month in remand just for a bail hearing.

Stothard was released on relatively light conditions, including a $1,000 recognizance, a nighttime curfew, and surrendering his passport. He remains on leave from the Calgary Police Service.

The mother of one of the victims has already raised the issue of fairness, stating there should be no special priority simply because the accused was a police officer.
Would an average citizen charged with shooting and killing two people be released this quickly, on these conditions? Many lawyers are openly questioning whether this reflects a two-tier system of justice.

The preliminary inquiry is now underway. These are the questions the public is watching closely.

As Members of Stop the Stack YYC, we commemorate Prisoners' Justice Day with grief, rage, and solidarity.

On June 21st 2026, the Calgary Police shot and killed Melanie Hambrook while she was in a state of crisis. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident; 70% of people killed by police in Canada either struggle with mental health issues, substance use or both. Please support Melanie's family by contributing to their GoFundMe for funeral and legal support.

So far in 2026, police in Canada have killed approximately 39 people. In comparison, 5 Canadian police officers have died on-duty in 2026: only 3 of them labelled as “attacks”.

Police love propaganda to suggest their lives are at stake, but statistics confirm “the number of officers killed by someone intentionally trying to harm them is lower today than it has been in the past.” (CBC)
