“To this end Anonymous announces the launch of operation ‘Anon Down.’ The focus of this [operation] going forward will be gaining justice and vengeance necessary for our fallen comrade in Dawson Creek”, the video warns.

Anonymous has made public its intention to search for and publish private and identifying information about the officer involved, a practice it calls “doxing”.
IIO spokesperson Kellie Kilpatrick says her organization is aware of the Anonymous threats.
“We will certainly avenge one of our own when they are cut down in the streets while protesting the earth-wrecking environmental policies of the Canadian government”, the voice states.
The revenge plot seems to be well underway, as on Sunday morning the RCMP national website and Dawson Creek detachment site were both down.
BC Hydro has yet to issue a statement on the shooting.
The police watchdog investigates all officer-involved incidents in British Columbia that result in death or serious injury.
DAWSON CREEK, B.C. – Mounties have shot and killed a man outside a BC Hydro public information session on the planned Site C hydroelectric dam in the province’s Peace region.
Dawson Creek RCMP have cordoned off a section outside the the Fixx Urban Grill restaurant at the Stonebridge Hotel on Highway 2 near the outskirts of the city.
Kilpatrick said it was early in the investigation and she did not have further details about the confrontation between the man and police. “He’s… dead. There’s blood everywhere.” According to the hacktivists, the man was wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, which is often associated with the group.
In the video posted on Facebook, two officers with their handguns drawn stand over a man in a grey hoodie who is slumped on the ground.
An officer appears to kick away an object from the man’s hand before he is handcuffed and first aid is administered.
“Police arrive at the location and they come into contact with a second individual who is unrelated to the original complaint”, she said. Saturday officers killed a distressed man in Surrey. A video of the aftermath emerged online, showing officers with guns pointed at the man, who appeared to be holding a knife.
