There isn't much information being made public, but if I was one of the two people who got shot because this cop unloads 6 rounds and only two hit the perp, then I would be looking at suing.
You can't tell me that shooting two other people because the cop missed isn't getting pretty close to incompetence if not plain negligence.
The sooner all the beat cops start wearing body cams the better.
Meaning he wasn't doing anything that posed an immediate threat to anyone but he also wasn't immediately complying with the commands of Those Who Shall Be Obeyed.
�The subject officer made a quick decision in a volatile and rapidly unfolding situation to use his service firearm in order to defend against Mr. Heffernan,� said a statement from the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service.
�The evidence would be that he did so as a defensive action against an individual who was armed with a syringe, and who had been either unwilling or unable to comply with police directions..
So if someone is unable to comply with police orders then that's justification for the use of lethal force?
So retards, Alzheimers' patients, deaf people, people in persistent vegetative states, dead people...all of them are at risk from stupid fucking assholes with guns and badges?

You might have missed the couple stories last week where people called Ambulances for their loved ones having violent epileptic seizures, and the cops came and beat the shit out of them instead.

I suppose we might want to move the 'Police Abuse' topic from the US Politics forum since you folks have this problem, too.
I read that he lunged at them with the syringe but it's not mentioned in this article. Part of Cop's story?
They also emptied the 14 shot clip into him, but only 4 connected. Which means 10 rounds were available to hit other guests in the hotel. Also not in this story.
I also heard on the news that the reason there are no charges is because the Crown didn't think there was a reasonable chance of conviction. Not that the cops didn't do wrong, just that the Crown can't prove it.

That doesn't really mean anything tho. Happens all the time. From it you can't say much either way.
Isn't this Alberta? Y'all have the same system we have, where the crown lays the charges, not the cops? I thought we were the only province with this system. Anyway, you can take the non-charging in many ways, from there is scant evidence for wrongdoing, to the crown just doesn't see it enough of a slam dunk to be worth pursuing.

I thought all provinces worked this way? Cops recommend charges, but the Crown decides whether to pursue them or not.
Yea, a non-charge is kind of banal. It could mean nothing happened, it could mean noting can be proved. But 10 stray shots vs a possible 'lunging' with a syringe . . . makes you go . . . hmmmmm.
Cause apparently black lives matter.

Wow didn't know that. All from one guy?
