About 100 people who want to divert money from police to social services gathered in Halifax on Friday. They're upset by the deaths of people who have been killed by police sent to do wellness checks. (Submitted by Choudry family)"Our asks are centring [around] the family of Ejaz Choudry, it's to defund police, to stop cops from having access to doing quote, unquote wellness checks," Khan said. "This is an issue we're seeing in Ontario ... and we're also seeing here in the Maritimes where Chantel Moore died and Rodney Levi died with these quote, unquote, wellness checks." We know we're one small piece of a solution in regards to those that are having a mental health crisis."
