Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
There’s been 4-5 “random” stranger attacks in the lower mainland in the last few days.
As much as people waahhh wahhh wahhhh about the VPD etc. the cops are fucking SAINTS compared to the judges and politicians who enable this shit.
Yeah, there have been stranger attacks for sure.
-gotta keep my head on a swivel as I work in downtown. People need to be aware of who is on theid surrounding area.
This perp in the video below sucker punched a guy on West Georgia street. You can tell that this guy picked a target, a small man, from the look he gives at the random person before he throws a hard punch at that man.
I agree with you Honda. Our judicial system is so soft. Something needs to be done at multiple levels of government to vastly improve public safety.
I am sick and tired of local politicians passing the buck and telling media that they need funding and help from other levels of government.
I work for a company with a thousand employees we have a couple different offices, one downtown.
We now get weekly updates about safety incidents and people breaking into the downtown office and “safety tips” on how to avoid violence.
My employer the federal government sent an all staff email today about the stabbing incident at the 7 Eleven.
Email mentions the provision of mental health resources for employees who may feel stress from these violent incidents happening in downtown.
Email mentioned that the federal government departments and other tenants in Library Square were close to facing a full building lockdown today if that suspect got anywhere near the grounds of the Library.
When site managers were ready to make the call to put the entire Library Square in full lockdown, that is when you know that shit got very serious.

2 blocks away from work for me. Surprised I didn't hear the shots when I went out back actually. Add it to the guy getting his hand cut off a couple months ago also 2 blocks away in a different direction. Honestly I think it's gotten worse yaletown area as far as threats to random people than it is on Hastings.

I feel these are the ones that police, doctors, or courts should be able to force into involuntary treatment. No need to discuss forcing 'avg' white collar addict to involuntary treatment per se ... there aren't even enough beds for those who voluntary want treatment but there has to be a Riverview or something like it to detain individuals who have violent tendencies and treat forceably. I'm assuming there are addiction and mental health issues here.
So here is a video of the actual shooting. Some people will find it very graphic -- personally, I didn't, but you see and hear the entire incident unfold within the limits of the camera's view. Watch it at your own discretion:
- the officers gave verbal warning
- the officer then tased the person
- ** something happened that we cannot see from the video **
- VPD started firing, it was:
- pop
- pop
- pop, pop, pop
pause
- pop, pop, pop, pop
- pop
pause, with police running around the 7-11 to get behind the counter
- then one more pop
There seems to be a woman on the side with the suspect.
The City News reporting on the incident is as follows:

Yea he fucked around and found out, trying to rob gurdeep. Imagine leaving home country to make $17 an hour and get knife and shot next to. This is better than the revolving door bs we have.
Growing up I’d never heard of druggies attacking randoms until like the past 5 years. is there a new batch of meth that fries the brain into aggression?
I seem to recall "mental health" being one of the words mentioned in a news article that I read earlier today (regarding the 7/11 knife attack and police shooting).
When mental health and/or drugs are involved, the person is probably in a delirium for this type of thing to happen. Obviously I don't know anything about this dead suspect, but if you go back to the video, I think it is reasonable to deduce that the suspect is stuck in a delirium bcos the taser didn't really have much of an effect.
30% of all injuries to healthcare workers and first responders are a result of physical violence
Why can’t we recruit people to these roles? Hmmm..
A woman who lost vision in her eye and can’t work, maybe ever again from a physical assault at Surrey memorial the perpetrator got 2 months in jail and was subsequently released.

The guy stabbed her in the eye, she had emergency surgery yesterday, likely to lose her eye entirely.
Glad that waste of air got lit up by the cops.
That's awful, but where was this reported? Yesterday the cops were saying only one person was stabbed in the hand. The other was injured in a different way.

Or the conducted energy weapon's barbs didn't imbed into the muscles to work. If one or both of the barbs missed or got stopped by clothing, it may be less effective.
We can't see it from the video angles available, but if the dude made a move
to stab the women trapped behind the counter, it'd be the reason to escalate to lethal force.

Global news at noon same the woman involved (the second person) sustained “facial injuries”

Of the screenshots shared to Reddit, one post discusses how "mass immigration" and "a growing aversion to assimilation" are "transforming Canada into a place where a shared identity is disappearing."
Another post questions Diwali celebrations at schools, saying the "push for secular education isn't about religion — it's about erasing Christian values from the lives of our children."
A third post references "gender transitions" while criticizing a "woke culture that pits children against their parents."
Another claims Christian values serve as Canada's moral compass and questions what would happen to the country if a different religion became more dominant.
Then a Conservative MLA backs the resignation saying:
Quote:
Elenore Sturko, the B.C. Conservative MLA for South Surrey and a former RCMP officer, said she thought it was appropriate for the board to accept Sakoma-Fadugba's resignation, adding that her comments were offensive, particularly to the transgender community.
"It comes down to trust," Sturko said. "When we have statements being made that erode the public's trust, or their comfort with their police service, it makes it that much harder on the front-line officers."
And now 13 Conservative MLAs send Rustad a letter criticising their own peer saying that an apology needs to be made to the former Vice-Chair.
