Have you asked an operational Toronto Police officer about Lam yet? Didn't think so. Lam can spot whether or not someone has a pistol pointed at him from 30 ft away under extreme stress, yet you accuse me of thinking I'm superhuman? You just can't bear to find out the truth, can you? It's as if you haven't even seen the video. Minassian draws out towards Lam several times. You're telling me that Lam could spot that the item wasn't a pistol with all that movement at that distance? Now that is what I would call superhuman. Lam should have shot as soon as Minassian was drawing on him as if he was going to shoot Lam as he had already proven he was willing to kill. Too bad Lam couldn't even if he wanted to because he didn't have a bullet in the chamber according to the rank and file. If you were actually a member of a range somewhere and showed up to shoot once and a while, where police rent for training and were to ask someone about Lam, maybe you would would find out the truth.
In case you weren't aware, most newspapers are left leaning and will find any way to make not using a firearm look good. The Guardian being one of them, which they freely admit. You know, the same media that accused Israel of bombing a hospital and taking Hamas' word as truth without any verification, causing protests and riots around the world.
There was a female Vancouver police officer shot a suspect in the leg a couple of years ago. There were uninformed people out there, just like you would believe who genuinely think she made a split second choice to shoot the offender in the leg. The fact of the matter was she was under extreme stress and missed her centre of mass target. She did the best she could, but those who genuinely believe she aimed for the leg are idiots.
