Ontario gunsmith shot and killed by police

You also watch too much TV !!!

You mean they cover stuff like this on T.V. in fiction or on reality shows? Something is awful suspicious here police on T.V. when they go to serve a warrant don't bust in with guns blazing, quickly identify their intended target with others present and take it out. Someone appears to have been able to quickly identify the man, dispatched him??? On T.V. they don't do that unless they are met with some resistance before they enter. In this case there doesn't appear to have been any approach resistance.

You done stop hunting because you grow old. You grow old because you stop hunting.

Let's put the train back on the tracks. Looks like TPS is being sued for $23M

Until all the facts are in everything is simple conjecture. Unless anyone has inside info all I know is what the news media is saying. I must say tho that some of the comments on what could have happened by the members in here, are very reasonable possibilities. Time will tell.

The hand gun registry was never destroyed and the TPS were not out of their "jusisdiction". Every Police Constable ,no matter what service they work for,is sworn in by a Judge (Her Majesty the Queen in the right of the Province of Ontario). So much erroneous assumptions being made,we really need to wait for the evidence to emerge and verify every scrap of it as infuriating as it is with the incredibly awful optics as they appear.

Unfortunately, all the facts will never be in....... The authorities will cover this up and save they're own backsides as per usual

That's the same feeling I'm getting.

If the authorities are covering things up the SIU appear to be uncovering plenty.

One must really question the time frame of these investigations...after 6 months they have "reasonable grounds to believe" the officer should be charged with committing a crime. Not a very efficient or effective process.

Not to mention the Officer was on full salary all that time.

Lawyers paid by the hour rule the justice system. !!!

Mississauga, ON (14 January, 2022) ---
The Director of the Special Investigations Unit, Joseph Martino, has reasonable grounds to believe that an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer committed criminal offences in relation to the shooting death of a 24-year-old man in Chatham-Kent last July.

The investigation found that on July 7, 2021, the Chatham-Kent OPP responded to a call about a gasoline theft. Officers located the vehicle believed to be involved travelling westbound on Highway 401 and followed it. The vehicle ended up in the ditch dividing the highway. One of the officers approached the vehicle, and his firearm discharged and shot the driver. The man died in hospital...
