Dudley George inquiry finally complete

And, surprise, everything that activists were saying about the guilt of the Ontario Provincial Police was true. (Picture of Sam George, Dudley's brother).

Sam George led a tireless campaign that eventually resulted in a public inquiry into the death of his brother, who was shot by an Ontario Provincial Police sniper in September 1995 as police moved in on about 30 unarmed First Nations protesters occupying the park. CBC

The Globe and Mail has a very good interactive, narrated chronology of the case here.

For those not familiar with Ipperwash:

The shooting, on Sept. 6, 1995, came just two days after members of the Kettle and Stony Point First Nation occupied the park to reclaim a sacred burial ground. That night, the OPP, acting on false reports the protesters had guns and had attacked a civilian's car, abandoned its usual strategy of negotiation and sent in a riot squad to confront them.

When a protester, Cecil Bernard George, stepped forward to mediate, police beat him and dragged him away, prompting others to drive a school bus and a car at the police, who responded with gunfire.

Within seconds, Dudley George, 38, was shot dead by a police sniper. The Globe and Mail
