Ping!
They should have killed him. He will continue to present a danger. Having killed three officers it would be easy for him to dehumanize more people and rationalize their murder. He’s had a clean break with reality and is playing the part of a Rambo.
Given Canada’s light on Justice legal system he’ll be out of jail or the mental ward in a decade.
I am so glad he is in custody. I’d be willing to bet he has some type of “manifesto”/history somewhere. Some people don’t realize how many psychos are out there today. It’s only getting worse.
Rest in Peace, RCMP brothers.
A little More:
He was arrested by a SWAT team, and when confronted by real opposition with rifles, immediately surrendered at 12:10 am Friday June 6, He said: “ I’m done.” as he surrendered.
Canada Ping!
Will we find that the suspect committed suicide while in custody by stealing the weapons of four officers, and shooting himself 23 times with the stolen weapons?
After Bourque’s arrest, I can now comment on the situation which led to these three deaths.
The officers on scene were improperly deployed. They were called to the scene because the perp was walking down the road carrying two rifles, dressed in military style clothing, and a load bearing harness.They were under armed
with only pistols and later a shotgun.They brought pea shooters to a rife battle.
The perp stood off at a distance , outside of the range for accurate pistol fire for 9mm Glocks carried by the officers, who faced pin point, accurate rifle fire.
The local SWAT team was not deployed until later after the officers were killed, and the perp went to ground.
The commanding officers are responsible for dispatching underarmed , improperly briefed police officers to what was in fact a combat scene, not a run of the mill call. Other officers rushed into the scene in support, improperly armed and improperly armoured for combat. This led to a slaughter.Heads in the Command structure should roll.
The lefty/liberal policy on weaponry in general in Canada effected the saftey of these officers. In Canada police
officers are NOT even allowed to carry a side arm when off duty.Their squad cars do not have rifles in their trunks, just the ocassional shot gun, ( 12 gauge).These deaths are the responnsibility of RCMP command who impliment the arming policy for RCMP officers, and the dastardly lefty politicians who create the horrible policies on firearms in Canada overall, and who have hamstrung the police. These lefty bastards now have blood on their hands.And no one will likely say a damn thing in public about it.
They need tougher gun laws/s
Don’t know if it’s true but I *have* read that Canadian prisons are like country clubs compared to ours.If that’s true if you add no fear of execution to the country club atmosphere and one might ask “where’s the deterrent factor?”.And if,by chance,there’s no such thing as life without parole,as I believe is the case in Mexico (and other countries),well you get the picture.
