This is someone known to my family and well no one is taking it well . I really feel for the kids and I feel for my nephews who now are missing thier Godparent as well. I do not see why the police officer was so excessive with the shooting either, there are other ways the situation could have been handled. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/calgary/story/2010/07/19/okotoks-calgary-shooting-.html

Use of an M-16 is VERY excessive. A tazer should have been used instead. The police are only to use deadly force as a last resort. I am sadden by your loss. Good thoughts and prayers going out to his family and yours.

This weekend is the Wake and everyone that could go is already in Calgary or on their way there. My sister seems to be holding up well considering she is also in the process of moving. Not sure how my brother is handling it or my aunt or dad but I am sure I will find out by Monday ... So ya just still in a daze about this ...

just read the article.
and this confirms my personal belief that police forces should be disbanded.
theyre never there when you need them. and theyre always there when you dont. and they clearly never follow the rule of "do not fire unless fired upon.".......

Ya I hear you Rudas. Believe me I do and I am one of many who are starting to make waves about the police here in our country this type of thing happens way to often,
And on a side note and the reason I am here later today is the Wake and I was just wondering if you all could keep my sister especially and my nephews in your thoughts today. thanks
