At least I can agree with the last bit; 10 round magazines for all cops and total compliance with the useless Firearms Act.
Man with knife on streetcar at Dundas and Grace, shot by police
- Thread starter Shrugged
- Start date
are there people really think he shouldn't have been shot? if you wake up and pack a knife as part of your day and thrn have the stupidity to pull it out..... you shouod be shot. How long do you think this arsehole would have on a bus in Texas if he pulled that s***?
Does that even matter? Anyone who walks within 30 feet of a cop with a knife and called him a p**** should be shot. Thats pretty much the end of the story. wtf is wrong with some of you people?
That is one of the dumbest arguments I have ever seen. Whatever the negotiation, the kid would have been charged and there would be judicial penalties levied.
Have you considered that he was likely in some mental distress? I haven't seen anyone here suggest that the cops should have put their lives in danger but there seem to have been several errors in the way the police handled this.
so yelling at a cop with a small knife, while alon on a bus, makes you deserve to get shot several times to death?
your obviously a cop or a retard
Proof you don't pay attention and just prattle on. As for being judgement, said early we know so little about what actually happened, yet you're judging the cop big time.
Like I said... model citizen. On his way to Sunday School and/ or choir practice.
Should the cop have shot him 9 times? Probably not... but we don't know the facts. (Maybe while he was down, he was reaching inside his coat for something and the cop figured it was a concealed weapon... who knows...
) What I DO know, is that someone with attitude, (his Facebook is dripping with attitude), and waving a knife around and ignoring authority, is looking for trouble.
Is the cop justified? Who knows... we'll find out for sure in the coming weeks. Maybe he had issues too. But to lambast the entire police force, for the actions of one officer, is a bit much dontcha think?
Play with fire... you're gonna get burned.
You must have missed the part where he exposed himself on the bus, not normal or legal.
I agree. But since it only takes one cop "with issues" to kill perhaps we need to reconsider the policy of allowing regular duty officers to carry side arms.
Perhaps only senior officers should carry a gun, to weed out the ones "with issues".
What we don't know is when the cops found out about the exposure. There is so much not known, out side the short video by a citizen reporter, yet the usual herd of gnus has the cops hung drawn and quartered.
Excellent idea fuji!
(Brilliant plan! LoL!)
But only if we can limit all the criminals and lunatics from carrying weapons first.
(Brilliant plan! LoL!)
It does mean you have some idea what some members post on various subjects of a longer period of time, providing you can remember more than what you had for breakfast this morning. Even your comment about me is so wrong, as I've said more than once, you can't be liked by everyone. You are going to be such entertainment on here, welcome board.
If a criminal or lunatic is armed there will be a massive police presence on the scene including many senior officers.
Officers are in fact trained to back off and wait for overwhelming force in these cases anyway.
Perhaps one in four would be carrying, those who had been promoted for years of good service works be trusted.
Good grief, something tells me you found a new word. I even welcomed you to TERB an d you give me newbie attitude.
Have you watched the video????
At least 3 officers had guns drawn and trained on the assailant. Are you suggesting all the police officers should have opened fire? :frusty: (That certainly would satisfy the "cops are gun toting menaces terrorizing our streets" crowd!
