There's always remove for improvement, but I'll take this police response over an American version of it any day.In a post-Sandy Hook world, I have to go with the officers. If it looks like a gun, it might be a gun. Thank god she didn't make any sudden moves.
"the responding officers acted appropriatly within the scope of their training."

It was definitely "imperfect". It's a hard spot to be in. I don't blame the young lady(obviously) -maybe her boss should have thought about the gun angle. The cops - glad it didn't turn out worse. Let's be for real - they're hired muscle, not brains.There's always remove for improvement, but I'll take this police response over an American version of it any day.

Confession: on a slight dare, I applied for the local sherrif's department about 30 years ago. I apparently did stellar on their testing BUT they told me in a personal interview that I would be terribly bored with the position and it wouldn't end well. They were right - I'd overthink some situation and someone could get hurt. Albeit, I'd probably have been the only one to get "hey, that's just some kid in a Star War's costume". Wasn't meant to be. IJNAI don't know much about the cops in Canada. However, the cops here in Australia are night and day different then the US cops. Here they have to have good grades from school to be accepted into the academy, and then pass through the academy, which is apparently not easy. Unlike the US cops that have an IQ ceiling for entry.
My county only accepts "whites" who score 90%.+ Minorities only have to score 80%. Saying.I don't know much about the cops in Canada.

White American's of non-hispanic origin(WAONHs) are 35% of the city. So 65% are minorities. The difference between what you would like to see and what happened is 15%. WAONHs have higher incomes and probably can afford to stay home/in at a higher rate, which skews occurance vs expectations. A little smoke but no fire.NYPD at it again
NYC politicians outraged after NYPD reveals 80% of social distancing arrests have been minorities

Im not convinced that some of these fuckers just want to kill people, and can get away with it cause cops.Minneapolis coppers flat out killed a guy yesterday. What the fuckin fuck.
No link provided, sorry. It’ll be everywhere soon hopefully. Jeez, the video is sickening. There really needs to be some useable non-lethal device the cops can use to implement when they’re scared of the perp, which was obvious this time.
I like cops, and am far from anti-cop, but this stuff makes me say fuck the police.

he was being arrested for a nonviolent crime (forgery) and they were arresting based on him matching a description. the cop was kneeling on his neck, even while he was restrained/handcuffed, and the poor dude was literally pleading for air. it's Eric Garner all over again.Minneapolis coppers flat out killed a guy yesterday. What the fuckin fuck.
