But the OPP are justifying opening fire because they said that some of them were armed.
The natives are saying no one was armed.
We know Dudley George wasn't armed, so why was he shot? Were some of the natives armed and he accidently got in the way?

These are some of the questions I'd like to see answered myself... but I also hope that the historical context is also taken into account, because I remember a number of comparrisons made to Oka.
For those who don't know what Oka is here's a good link:

Interesting factiod.. the soldier from the "showdown" was later arrested for dealing cocaine.. which is one reason why the image was never used in a recruitment campaign (that and the military didn't want to alienate the Native Peoples further).
