Man shot by RCMP officer

[ken531a]

it seems as if the only reply you can make is a attack on any one who simply states a opinion . that in its self can be classified as antisocial behavior and a criminal trait

[the truth]

are you for real,your the one calling cops the bad guys now

[foodsmith]

ya and real criminal do no harm

Truthy, it can be easily argued and supported by ridiculous amounts of evidence that many cops are real criminals, and thus equally so many real criminals are cops -- and that's a fact!

Reality check - many human beings have been wrongly killed and/or seriously injured by the police & the RCMP.

While they also do good deeds, pretending that is all they do is ignorant and negligent.

I guess you could put it another way, many lives have been saved by Police who had to make that mil-second decision to shoot or not shoot. Sadly they are on trial and defense, Prosecutors, Judges and critics with little knowledge of levels of force sit back and criticize them on that choice they made and have to relive time and time again.

Wouldn't it be nice if they too could take all the time in the world to decide, should I or should I not.

I find it interesting how many here are so specialized on this topic and have never had to pull and point a weapon at someone when they fear for their lives or are having to protect others. There bold.

A bold statement knowing nothing of virtually everyone's backgrounds, histories, professions, etc...

Consider it a gentle, albeit necessary, calling out.

[the truth]

it can be said 99% of cops are good and 100% of criminals are bad

blind cult like trust in authority does not make a safe community. and attacking people that want truth is something we are seeing in trump world. things are not always what are reported at first. this strikes me as a case of drugs and or mental illness and not misconduct

So because the guy is on drugs and/or has a mental illness the cop is supposed to leave him be with his knife?

The best thing about cop haters is that they wouldn't hesitate to call 911 if they needed help. And they'd still probably go online after, safely behind their computer screens, and *bleep* about the response time or something.

What happened to the guy that got shot ? Survived and out of hospital...or ?

...and you call yourself the truth, your statement couldn't be more untrue

[Opeeved]

Not to mention all the police haters out there who will be out in droves crying about the poor homeless man. It will probably come out that he was "mentally ill" and should have been helped instead.

I do understand your post, however "Drop the knife" by a Police Officer holding their weapon at you...I think you should listen to everything the nice Police Officer tells you!


Only other thing might have been suicide by COP and the officer missed!

Ugh. Brutal. To both.

And cops, staff sergeants, don't steal $800,000 worth of cocaine

Well now, there's a twist ;)

It's actually very true. There are no GOOD criminals.
