I'm the son of a retired police officer and I can say that I am truely sorry for the family and friends of the officers. I put some of the blame for this squarely on the shoulders of the federal governement who for years have been toying with the idea of decriminalizing pot and the justice system that simply ignoring prosecution of drug offences. Then they wonder why all these grow-ups are springing up all over the place. It has now gotten so bad, we are not now talking about a grow up per town, they are almost per street.

A sad and shocking story (thank you Big-O for filling me in). My thoughts and prayers are with those left stricken & grieving -- and for the brave comrades left to carry on.

Very true Phil

I have a few family members that have been through the forces and some still with them. Such as my wife's brother.

Glad they're able and willing to do it

My thoughts and prayers go to the familes of these brave officers.

On a side note i really hope this changes the thinking of our law enforcement. The soft multi layer kevlar vests are only useful for stopping hand gun rounds; even though only 6.5% of all guns in Canada fall in this catagory. I have read multiple news reports on this situation and I am troubled by the delay the other officers in responding to the original gunshots. Why a special divivision was not used for the original arrest ( I.E. SWAT) i dont know as the arestee had a very lengthy criminal record, including violent gun crimes. I feel this was a waste of our officers and can only be blamed on those who make these type of decisions.

I hope and pray that these officers have not lost there lives in vane and may God watch over ther families. Amen.

Well said Phil....

Truly a tragic loss, my thoughts and prayers are with their families..

The slap in the face is this talk of legalizing pot, then they would truly have sacrificed everything for nothing

I'm sorry to bring this up in the face of such a loss but pot really has nothing to do with this case. The officers were there to reposess a vechicle, the grow-op was a seconary finding and only a result of late survailaince. THIS ENTIRE TRADJIC EVENT has poor policy written all over it.

My Dad was on the Force for 35yrs. He's not with us anymore but he's probably taking care of those four boys right now. What a terrible tragedy. My most sincere condolences go out to the familys.

That is a really nice and comforting thought, Bowzog.
