Man shot and killed by transit police in Surrey

[tay]

"[The man] had no shirt on. He started stabbing himself and going up and down the aisles screaming and ranting," said Simning




Drennan said when the officers entered the Safeway, they saw a man with a knife who was repeatedly stabbing himself.


"They started talking to him, issuing commands, directions to drop the knife," she said. "He refused to so so. He advanced on the officers and shots were fired."


The man was rushed to hospital but later died of his injuries.

The Smurfs killed someone?

I just read this on FB. It was just a sound bite and it read "A man has died after being shot by transit police at a Safeway near Surrey Central SkyTrain station.
A transit police spokesperson says officers found a man stabbing himself repeatedly.

My first thought was it's a good thing they prevented him from killing himself by shooting him. It seems pretty obsurd.

I remember when the Smurfs only had violation books and wrote tickets I never gave my real name for.

Yeah, and now border guards have guns..

But the government still trying to legislate and strip guns from the public. You register the gun, a week later they make it an illegal firearm and the RCMP show up to steal it.

I didn't know transit police had guns now. Be like giving mall cops real guns. Most of them are cop wannabes that couldn't make the grade. Then again the police shouldn't be the only unarmed people on skytrain.

Well I am sure he had mental issues. Sad to say but care in this country for those with a mental illness sucks.

Why is it no one ever has a TASER in a place it would actually be appropriate to use?

This might duplicate someplace since I seem to have lost the first try..


The PC crowd decided to close the nuthouse and let the nutbars loose with no supervision because it is their right. No one is ensuring they take their meds or even making sure they have money enough to buy them. Leads to self medication with what ever whenever. This is the result.

Actually the beginning of that came from the words of Ronald Reagan he said
people had the right to sleep under bridges and it was deemed unconstitutional
to confine them when they were not a threat or having committed a specific crime.
they shot him likely because although a threat to himself he could be a threat
to others if cornered and had they just let it go and someone else got killed or
injured there would be howling over that too

Well it doesn't say he died from his own wounds or from the shots from the officers, but either way, he went at them with the knife and was shot. Case closed.

He clearly wasn't meaning to leave alive.

Death by cop means it's not a suicide...right?
