WTF???

 

[DG Gunsmith]

They didn't go there to execute a Search Warrant... They went there to Execute an innocent Gunsmith...

I’m suprised the CBC published that without a slant.

Sounds like they got their idea from the book Unintended Consequences.

My prayers for his wife and family / friends. My hope is that further investigation gets to root of what went wrong and if individuals acted wrongly they are held accountable.

At what point do we declare it a communist country?

Executing a leading member of the shooting community is a good way to drive the message home to the rest of the gun owners. This is what’s coming if you act up during the raids.

He didn't act up, though... They literally broke into his place o' business, and shot him in front o' his wife & a customer, apparently, he was working on a client's Rifle, when it happened...

Officially, the day Justin Trudeau was 1st elected... But, it really all started back in the early 1990's... With the election o' Jean Cretien...

What in the hell? I bet someone reported “suspicious firearm activity” at the guys house and the cops went full Rambo.

Man do heads need to roll on this overreach.

 

[sestoppelman]

Thats pretty disturbing on many levels. I sure hope some heads indeed do roll over this gigantic miscarriage of justice.

 

[Opposite Pole]

This doesn’t seem like raid gone wrong this seems like murder.

 

[Newboomer]

Talk about gestapo tactics at their worst. That's something right out Nazi Germany or the Kremlin. I guess it's watch out, Canadians, all you gunowners are targets just because.

 

[R.M.C.]

I'm not one of those "defund the police" retards but I don't like cops. Never have and never will. I know, I know, not all cops are shitty people, blah blah blah. Just most of the ones I've met are and stories like this don't help.
My sincere condolences for the man's family, friends, and clients.

It will be interesting to see what the warrant was about.

I’m not a fan of these no knock warrants. I think they should only be used in extreme cases involving violent crimes.

 

[DG Gunsmith]

As o' this moment, the Police have never shown anyone a Warrant... They claim that they had a Search Warrant, but they have yet to produce one...

It will appear and be backdated to suit.

I fear that we have passed that point in time.
