The only person you can express an opinion for is yourself, you do not speak for 99.7% of the population, as most all of them have expressed no opinion.Quote:

The best witness would have been the customer in the shop and if his account was way off some officers may already have been charged. IMHOQuote:

Facts 2020-2021:
I also read, the fact is over 30% of charges against officer are withdrawn before trial...Quote:
Charge Cases
Criminal charges were laid by the SIU Director in 12 cases, against a total of 14 officers, representing 3.0% of the 397 cases that were closed for the fiscal year.
Total Closed Cases
70.8% (281 cases) of total cases closed resulted in no charges (Director’s Report cases), 26.2% were closed by memo or terminated, 3% resulted in charges laid against the officers.
Doesn't look like holding bad cops' accountable to the public is a big part of the SIU's mandate, does it ?

To me it is pretty simple , though sad. He was told to put his gun down several times; he refused to. When you are told to put your gun down ..... do it!
More info comes to light …

There are many ways to write up a story
You forgot to post this part ..….. With four guns unaccounted for from Kotanko’s stockpile, police worry there will be a future tragedy like the one that befell Caden Francis.Quote:
