TL:DR

Victoria cop, Ron Kirkwood, got suspended for a week (unpaid, ouch) 'cause of a 2019 sitch where Lisa Rauch ended up... well, it's not good. She was hit with an ARWEN round. Peep the tea: she was going through it and cops showed up. The family's saying they were left in the dark. Justice system doing its thing, but is it enough?

The Deets

Okay, fam, so here's the tea. Back in 2019, Lisa Rauch was dealing with some heavy stuff - alcohol, meth, the whole nine yards. Things escalated, and the cops got called. Enter Ron Kirkwood, a Victoria PD officer.

Things got real when Kirkwood fired an ARWEN (anti-riot weapon) round. Tragically, it hit Rauch in the back of the head. She didn't make it, and now everyone's asking questions. A retired judge, Wally Oppal, looked into it and said the use of force wasn't justified. Kirkwood's getting a seven-day suspension without pay, which some might say is a slap on the wrist.

But wait, there's more. Oppal also dropped some recommendations, like cops should be rocking body cams (for receipts, obvi) and the police need to get their communication game on point, especially with families who are grieving. The Rauch fam says they were getting the runaround and straight-up misinformation, which is a major L.

Kirkwood hasn't been charged with anything criminal, but he's on medical leave for post-traumatic stress. It's a whole mess, and it's got people talking about police tactics, accountability, and how the system treats folks in crisis. Stay woke, y'all.
