I hope this was not about someone being upset they are losing their family farm or property to flooding from that damn dam.
My feelings are for the family of the victim, hopefully they can have closure on the incident.
Don’t dare to oppose our government or big business!
Problem is the IIO will take for ever for facts to come out and in the end was killing him or her the only recourse ? just seems to many quick draws with limited ability for officers to deflate the problem. Was he armed with a gun, board, pipe, hammer time will tell.

You can’t be serious with that comment!
Four unarmed innocent men were shot ystrday in Tennessee by a islamic man.
With that in mind, our RCMP respond to a man wearing a mask carrying on with very terrorizing behavior in Dawson Creek. Putting him down was probably the safest course of action for the public and the officers as well.. It must be traumatizing to be called into a situation like this,so I hold no grevience against them.
