    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.

    No its about EVIDENCE, forensic evidence ,eye witness evidence. There was sufficient information to obtain a search warrant which was presented to a justice under oath. The Police were legally placed on the scene, the execution of the warrant may not have been the best nor the actions of the deceased. 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. IMHO

    Really Rick...you've shot a 70 yr old man on his own property, working in his shop and beat being charged ..doesn't sound like it's hard to do ?

    The inability of the SIU to produce a report that recommends charges laid against an officer is dismall....

    Facts 2020-2021:

    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.
    I also read, the fact is over 30% of charges against officer are withdrawn before trial...

    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!

    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.

    I guess with him being dead, he wont be able to help answer to those allegations
