I have great respect for the Police and the job they do. I have 3 Cops in my immediate family. That said, the Police are far from perfect and their unwillingness to hold members accountable is ruining their credibility with the general public. The Blue Wall is far from a myth, and it is not doing a service to the Cops or the public. The fact any person defends idiots like this, or tries to rationalise how this behaviour might be sensible if "you just walked a mile in their shoes" is just more proof of that. The American Police have developed a siege mentality and have come to see the public they serve as the enemy. This is starting to happen in Canada. You can buy them as many Tims or Burgers as you want to show your support but that isn't going to change how they approach you, even for a traffic stop. |

The fact is, that our government keeps attacking legal firearms owners, while they make both criminals and police out to be victims. And the RCMP are assisting Trudeau and his liberals in that attack on legal firearms owners, instead of investigating liberal corruption. |

Some of you on here will remember Alberta's Andy Russell . He used to say that his best films ,photographs were always when he was unarmed. When we are armed it changes our body language.
Ive personally spent a lot of time armed wanting to be able to shoot wolves but yet the one time I left the house unarmed. I had my three year old in a little wooden wagon. When we were about mile from house I realized the wolf was watching us so I started pulling the little wagon heading for home. Then I realized the wolf was actually stalking us and was definitely in rifle range and kept getting closer. Wolf wasn't really trying to hide. More and more closer and confident to us. Finally we got close enough to front door that I could grab my son and run into house and grab rifle which was handy. Of course wolf gone and never ever had another opportunity because always armed after that. Same with Ravens. Ravens will eat eyes out of newborn calves. Local Ravens know me from other people and seem to know when I'm armed. My point is more armed policemen are with body armor and machine guns and training is part of this as well i suspect it changes their mindset . Police need to be deescalating not escalating situations. Common sense is huge part of job. If public fears and distrusts you,then doing police work properly is impossible. You can't be a good policeman of you are worried about getting hurt all the time. |

And how does this conversation relate to Trudeau's attack on legal firearms owners, or does that just blankly apply to everything? I hear the Liberals are not investing in any more new road construction. Well that must be a direct attack on legal firearms owner as we will no longer able to drive to our new gun range... sound about right? |

Would you feel the same if your wife was murdered, killed by an officer discharging a firearm in an unjustifiable manner, or let’s though in the shot because an officer miss identified a random object as a firearm? |
Pretty crazy some are allowed to enforce the law, competency is something that should be taken seriously...
I respect those men and women who choose this line of work, regardless of the "ones" who are not competent... If we want to talk competence, take a look at Canada's medical malpractice death rates, very slim margin behind heart disease and cancer. Funny, people still run to the butchers when we don't feel well.. Hint of sarcasm here :) Moral of the story is there is no perfect profession.. |

As for Trudeau's attack on firearms owners being relevant, the excuse for the attacks is to supposedly protect the public from the irresponsible use of firearms, and this incident is an obvious example of exposing the public to life threatening danger, through the irresponsible use of firearms. If you can't see the connection, you just aren't trying. |

But I might at some point forgive person that made a mistake, as opposed to forgiving a person that intentionally killed my wife. My point was that the manner of death definitely causes a different reaction for the loves ones left behind. |

Regardless how an officer dies in the field it’s going to be horrible for their loved ones. Same goes for any other citizen who dies on the job. But it doesn’t excuse anyone for the actions in the original post. It doesn’t excuse putting public safety at risk |
I can see how hearing that sound would make the officer react. But where was the target? There were no busted windows on the vehicle that the perp shot through. Did he think he opened the door, fired one round, then shut the door? It could have been a shooting from behind a tree 20 feet away. He just picked the patrol car and unloaded. The car thief is lucky he doesn't look like Swiss cheese.
I get that they put their lives in danger every day. I greatly respect that. They are in a potentially dangerous situation with every traffic stop etc... but they also need to keep cool. This got out of hand way too fast. The officer actually believed that he had been shot. I wonder if he's ever done a desk pop? Sent from my SM-S901W using Tapatalk |
There are a lot of officers who are far to spooked to do that job and would be better suited to another vocation.

Cop should get jail time for reckless endangerment with a firearm , attempted murder , staging a fraudulent injury and emergency which would make him a convicted felon and prohibited from owning firearms.

Just a recap... The tone of the post, is why is there so much attention given when a police officer is killed vs a logger or farmer. I suggested it is because a high number of police officer deaths are murders as opposed to the majority of other professions being work place accidents. And to anyone that says it doesn't matter to the family and majority of the general public how a person dies (murder vs accident), we will have to respectfully disagree. I never commented on the actions of the police officer, and normally don't based on an internet video. |

I'm a plumber.
Every unexpected sound I hear sounds exactly like leaking water. I can see where a cop might think a loud sound is a gunshot. I've only shot my way out of a plumbing problem twice, though... |

As a Range officer? would you tolerate this level of incompetence on your range??????? I think NOT! But if the guy on the range is wearing a blue suit all is forgiven? Have I got that about right??
You folks who defend this type of negligent discharging of a firearm like it is no big deal? Maybe you need to pull your brain out of your blue suit and see it for what this was, DANGEROUS. This should end both their careers and the TRAINING center along with the trainers should be torn down and fired. But you do you! |
I see the usual Monday morning quarterbacks are out in force, yet, many (not all) don't have a clue.
Do I know about major plumbing work? Nope, nor will I "pretend" to, nor argue/slam the profession about it. Do I know about major electrical work? Nope, nor will I "pretend" to, nor argue/slam the profession about it. Do I know about rocket science? Nope, nor will I "pretend" to, nor argue/slam the profession about it. And on and on...Get the point? I hope so. Look, what we have here is an officer(s) that acted on a situation. Was he/she right or not? Not up to me to decide, nor will I speculate on the "so called facts" presented on our very often edited/distorted/politized social media, which many seem to thrive and rely on. I am pretty sure this will be resolved, either way, with the process they have in place. Hope all had a great Family Day long weekend!...:) |
