Barney lived way down in North Carolina and wasn’t bald headed.

And besides, he and Andy both passed away not too long ago.

Andy would have walked up to him and put his arm around him told him “aw shucks”, never handcuffed him and walked him over to the jail. Wouldn’t have been none of that rough stuff.

Stunned the US?

Look, they Canadians do not have a death penal.ty. They love wringing their hands and kissing the feet of cold hearted criminalss , like the Vincent Weiguang Li’s murder by decapitation of Time McLean on a Greyhound bus on July 30 , 2008. Li was adjudged as not guilty ny reason of insanity and was completely rehabilitated and discharged by February 10, 2017. ( SIC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Tim_McLean

The dame could happen with Alek Minassian.

IMHO as an American I am not stunned. Sometimnes its more just for a police officer to pull the trigger, especially for the families of the 10 murdered men and women.

This is an instance where not shooting was ill advised, given the hand wringing liberal Canadian justice system which protects criminals but miserably fails to protect law abiding citizens and victims of crime. That’s truly STUNNED.

I like the Soros Washington Posst headline today-—

VAN kills Ten in.............

Notice,

According to the sicko Washington Post the van killed the people

not a muslim.

I guess the point being we don’t have enough dead cops in the last couple of years.

Lot of dead, unarmed suspects though.

IIRC, the Canadian soldier who was murdered in 2014 while guarding a war memirial was carrying a weapon that wasn’t loaded. Why I’m curious if the police who didn’t fire could have.

Are Canadian cops issued weapons loaded with live ammo? If the answer is not always, then maybe there’s another reason cops didn’t plug the perp.

Are you honestly suggesting that Canadian police officers are sent out with unloaded weapons? Really?

I don’t see an analysis in the article about how often Canadian cops get shot compared to American cops in similar situations.

Unlike their American counterparts, Canadian officers aren't facing feral, violent, untamed animals.

This guy just killed 10 people. How much more violent do you want?

I had an interesting casual conversation in a gun shop with a long-time GBI agent recently. His comment was that when he was a young man, the bad guys wanted to fight you. Today, they want to shoot and kill you. He was glad to be close to retirement.

It’s pretty clear that no policeman was going to give the killer what he wanted.

If the perp kept his mouth shut he might have got his wish.


Toronto cops have plugged a few people under somewhat questionable circumstances, but you make a very good point.

Now we have to pay for this guy to be imprisoned, go to trial, have legal counsel, etc. etc. Who knows....with the buffoon we have in Ottawa the terrorist could very well get a cheque for $11 million for his troubles!

If your police just shoot suspects on sight think of how much money you will save. No need for trials so no courts and no judges. No living prisoners so no need for jails or guards. No legal counsel needed for dead suspects. Gee, you may be on to something here. </sarcasm>

Doesn’t stun me at all, but we usually put down rabid wolves.
