Hurricane #Otis made landfall near #Acapulco, Mexico early this morning as a Category 5 hurricane. That's bad enough, but just 24 hours prior, it was a tropical storm and was forecast to make landfall as a tropical storm. Not even a hurricane warning a day in advance... [1/2]

This is not to single out police in The Soo but I strongly believe police need to rethink their stance of not identifying victims of intimate partner violence. Without knowing who died and why, these incidents never get the public scrutiny they v. much need to be subjected to.
Sault Ste. Marie Police Service@SaultPolice24 Oct 2023
Replying to @SaultPolice
The shooter, a 44-year-old, was also located deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. As these incidents are the result of intimate partner violence, the names of the accused and victims are not being released.

... which leaves far fewer avenues to report on the details of what happened. And when five people die in what police describe as an act of deliberate murder, I strongly believe it is in the public interest to have a full public airing of what happened.

Intimate partner violence is one of our most common causes of deliberate murder — but this kind of reflexive secrecy also makes it the most difficult type of homicide to report on and study. It really should not be that way.
