If we can call this a form of JUSTICE, then we should be happy. The normal outcome of too many police killings, some unjustified, is that the policeman does not loose any pay, does not often have to even work.
What bothers me as much as the JUSTICE system in Canada lets the convicted criminals go, in some stances, what bothers me more is that we get the defence lawyers jumping on the gravy train and defending these types what seems forever. Oh, the criminal had a hangnail when he was 5 years old, so don’t convict him. He was under trauma when he was younger, his mom and dad had a argument, so let him go.
Does society realize that there are some lawyers who know that when they take on a case, they know that they are taking on a client that will serve as a life long client, with society paying for the defence team forever?
Do we as society need to tell these types of defence lawyers to stop padding their retirement savings, stop making us think that this work they are trying to rationalize is worth it, rather than any sort of justice. Maybe if a message was sent to these, sometimes sleaze bag lawyers that enough is enough. What type of message would they hear?
Lets hear from those online.

Confront a cop with a weapon? The dude was holed up in a street car all by himself FFS. Got it??

Holed up with a knife in his hands.

For that he should have gotten two bullets, the first one right between the eyes and the second one right in the ticker just for good measure. All done!!

That kid was about the same amount of threat as Robert Dziekanski was at the airport with the stapler!

No cop is ever really guilty. The guy is walking free again which proves once more that there is a different law for the public than for the police.

...and that's why one as*hole makes ten cops targets. Judge approves the first three shots. I guess that's the result of patience abandoning the profession. Judge frowns on the six extras in the second volley ... and the rabid are up in arms. Tell me again if anyone matters?
