So it sounds like what happened was police shot the guy and didn't approach the vehicle until 1hr later with flash bangs?
so the guy who was shot was left to bleed to death (if he wasn't dead already)
that sucks; im not blaming them for anything here, i get it, its just that i expect more (i guess my childhood images of the police being heroes has really been shattered and pulverized as i get older)
I don't think its expecting too much when you see that level of care and heroism from police in other countries and even countries that i perceive Canada to be better than.
Again I'm not blaming or accusing the police of anything it's just another stone on the disappointment scale.
like this latest story of the 2 New West police and the department that have been causing the delay into an investigation of the 2, to the point that the time limit for an investigation has passed

sure there's the odd story of the police that adds a stone that boosts and encourages the image that i had of our officers (like the officer who threw the girl out of harms way) but there's just too many incidents to the contrary
