Canadian cops shoot guy for no reason (According to poorly crafted news story)
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2010/08/02/bc-rcmp-fatal-shooting-kamloops.html

Granted there are major holes in this story, but, from what I've so far read, it sounds like these fuckers just opened fire after a traffic accident.

1. I need more facts,
None of what I read makes any sense.

3. The headline
"Details in fatal B.C. RCMP shooting emerge"


is charitable at best. Not much detail there at all.

4. Should read "Vague and confusing idea of what happened in fatal RCMP shooting emerges"

5. Meh, seems rather vague.
Not purposefully trying to misrepresent the facts like happens so often in the States. Like the "Police officer punchs woman for jaywalking" case from a few weeks ago. Nevermind the woman assaulted the officer first.

6. Well, we have cops with guns on our transit system here, they are scary.
Canadian cops no different from their counterparts in the US!

7. Dude! I see you're from Coquitlam!
Hello from a Port Moody boy living in Beijing!
