Two RCMP shot in Alberta

The small suburb I live in specifically. Wasn't me, obviously. At work currently helping coordinate. Just a heads up in case anyone read about it and was worried.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Best wishes from a brother down south. Hope Aux. Constable Bond recovers swiftly, and hope that Constable Wynn pulls through soon.

Constable Wynn isn't expected to live.

The report I read didn't mention that... I've been getting updates via my cop sites on Facebook. I'm sorry, brother.

Prayers to you, Const. Wynn.

I can't understand the suspect's death. Everything just says "found dead". What does that mean? How? The most information I can find is that it's labeled a "death in custody" because the police had the house he was found dead in under control.

Officer_Charon · Jan 19, 2015

In many cases, cop-killers suicide before capture, because they don't want to face justice when the heat is on them. Given that he broke into an abandoned house during his flight, I'm interested in his toxicology report.

Yeah, I get that, but news reports usually say that right out. It's the way they're not saying anything that seems weird.

Well, attended the funeral today. Was insulted (along with a good number of my fellows) by the Prime Minister of the country, which was cool. Like we would make a political embarrassment of ourselves during a fucking funeral.

Anyways, I'm glad the day is over and I'm picking up the goil at the airport at 10.

Ok, I know nothing about Canadian politics (you guys have a King, right?) but why would the PM insult the police force/mounties/etc?

Far · Jan 27, 2015

Because he's a clown.

Frank · Jan 27, 2015

A bunch of us that are openly left leaning politically were ordered not to interact in any way with the PM.

Non-unionized is the problem. I dread the day that the state government decides that its employees are not allowed to be in a union.

justice

Death is preferable to the cruel and unusual punishment U.S. police consider "justice", I agree.[DOUBLEPOST=1422367031,1422366933][/DOUBLEPOST]

Your brothers in blue in NYC have done exactly that on more than one occasion in the last couple months. Not excusing it, but I see their reasoning.

Cajungal · Jan 27, 2015

It must be so hard to say farewell to one of your own. So sorry again, Frank.

Removed a few posts simply because they fly in the face of what should be a somber and serious thread. People died, man. Let's have a little compassion and empathy.
