Calgary Police....Harnett

[Fancy]

On Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office released a statement about the incident: “Canadians across the country were shocked to hear of the tragic death of Sargent Andrew Harnett of the Calgary Police. The Prime Minister joins Minister Blair, Commissioner Lucki, and all Canadians in sharing his deepest condolences and heartfelt thoughts with his family and friends, along with the entire policing community who has suffered an irreplaceable loss.

Not sure if that's the only outlet that released the statement.

And of course, that racist scumbag Dalel was an approved NDP candidate for the 2019 election, which he fortunately lost, and which fortunately went Conservative. We can't be filling our Commons with more cop-hating racists - we already have one as prime minister, and his party is infiltrated with racism.

Dancing on the graves of fallen heroes, or any fallen citizen, is a disgusting left wing tactic. We owe Sgt Harnett and his family a debt of gratitude, and using this tragedy to push left wing racist agendas is the scummiest of acts.

Well said. The NDP loves starting petitions to declare "hate" groups as terrorist organization, let's hope that they do the right thing and start up a petition to have this guy labeled a terrorist too. There is no room in Canada for such vile racism as this man is exhibiting. Just disgusting.

How is it that he being a public servant gets a funeral for 50 people when the provincial guideline is for 10?
The Alberta public health has granted an exemption. What a crock. Rules for thee and rules for me. insanity of our government.

The province made an exception and I'm glad they did.

Why ? Bet you'd be storming mad if they did not make an exception for you if it happened to be your family.

No, I wouldn't be. I haven't lost a member of my family in the line of duty - yet. And I do understand the need to support those that have and that would include other vocations as well.

The procession will be livestreamed:

A regimental funeral for a Calgary police officer killed in the line of duty is to be held this afternoon in the city and a procession following the service is to include a flypast by two CF-18s.

Officials say that due to COVID-19 restrictions only people who have been invited can attend the 1 p.m. service to honour Sgt. Andrew Harnett.

The Calgary Police Service has been granted an exemption from Alberta Health to allow 50 people to take part in the ceremony.

The service says it comes with a set of strict protocols and stringent oversight by health officials.

Harnett died on New Year's Eve after he was struck by a vehicle during a traffic stop, and two people have been charged with first-degree murder in his death.

The 37-year-old leaves behind his wife, Chelsea, who is to give birth to their first child in the summer.

Police say the funeral will not be shared publicly at the request of the family, but the procession will be live-streamed.

Two Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 Hornets from 410 Squadron at 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alta., are to conduct the flypast of the memorial service at about 3 p.m.

Police say it will take place over the police headquarters building in northeast Calgary.

The flypast is to pay respect to Sgt. Harnett and honour his service and sacrifice in protecting Canadians and citizens of Calgary, both as a member of the Calgary police and a former member of the military police in the Canadian Armed Forces.
