Sad Sad Day in Toronto and Canada

[burnt]

Yea its terrible , sad to say there is going to be lots more. The problem with the police is that they are scared to protect themselves . Always people wanting to persecute them . Unfortunately it is compromising their ability to make the snap decisions they need to . And no their decisions wont be always right but no one is perfect and they are trying to do a job . This could be seen in florida recently when some cops stayed back and an armed gaurd stayed outside . Probably not that they’re scared but that they cant handle the shitstorm that comes after putting one of these lowlifes out of their misery

Quite remarkable that the cop held up. I had to wonder a couple of things - did he see that the perp didn't actually have a gun? And you gotta wonder how much the Sammy Yatin shooting thing is lurking in the back - or perhaps the front - of their thinking?

What a mess it makes of so many lives. How many more are there walking among us?

Assuming the officer was acting/reacting, not thinking as we know it.

Slap on the wrist Canada doesn’t work.

Hug a thug and rehabilitate doesn’t work.

Open door policy yet when a farmer wants to move here from South Africa they have to jump through hundreds of hoops

Sick really but thank a Liberal

The officer risked his own live and others by not taking the perp down. The officer got lucky imo. The terrorist will likely be back on the streets in a few years.

The video shows that nut case reaching behind his back about three times bringing forward the same thing in his hand and pointing it at the officer, how was the officer to know one of those times it wouldn't actually be a gun? Taunting him.... If I was the officer that lowlife piece of shit scumbag would be dead....period. what was he thinking, the officer could have been the dead man!

Capital punishment! I know many who would pull the switch on the electric chair. Obvious....

Should have at least shot him in between the legs.

Does not matter, exterminate crazy shit like that...

Is the guy originally from Canada?

Don’t care where he’s from or whatever twisted reasons he has for his actions. Inexcusable and a bullet would be too good for the likes of him but still the best option.

From the video it looked like alleged killer wanted "suicide by cop". Also, the video is pretty clear that suspect didn't have a gun. I think the cop involved relied on good training in a tactical situation.

It sucks that every move a cop makes is recorded by iphones. Should have blasted him and went for coffee.
