The shooting prompted several demonstrations against police brutality
The shooting, which prompted several demonstrations against police brutality, occurred on the evening of May 10, 2020, when officers went to a home for a domestic call.
The situation escalated and police used a Taser device on both Krupka and her current partner, Michael Headley, who is also Black. She said neither had threatened the officers and neither was armed. “It was very quick and it was very shocking,” she said. “She seemed just as shocked as I was. She seemed just as scared as I was once she realized what she had done.”
“That’s one of the ways systemic racism plays out in policing,” Charney said. “They rely on the anti-Black racism of police.”Krupka has complained to the province’s civilian watchdog, accusing the officers involved of using excessive force, unlawful arrest and discreditable conduct. The complaint also alleges systemic racism against Peel Regional Police.
