they were trained,they had bulletproof vests and AIMing for a headshot is not a matter of a 2 seconds that a shooter has while someone enters the door.

the big quesiton is why were 4 officers raiding a farm suspect of weapons and marijuana violations without backup, and why did 4 trained officers go into a shed. its a tragedy but it shouldnt have happened, the shooter must have been one hell of a shot to be able to do that with a rifle. but this should hardly be blamed on drugs, if anything it re-affirms the fact that firearms are pretty unnessesary int his day in age

These shootings had nothing to do with Marijuana...that's the angle the press took to get headlines. Here's what I read:
- The cops raided his place to recover stolen property, not marijuana. It was merely a coincidence.
- the shooter was a sociopath who hadn't seen his brother and father who live within minutes for like 10 years.
- This guy had constant dealings with the RCMP and had previously shot at them, had spike belts on his property and had an intense hatred for their "harassment" of his being.
- All shooting took place in his quanset (large barn). I'm assuming he took up a position where he could see the doors and picked them off as they tried to enter.
It's a sad day and I for one, truly question the training of those RCMP officers. Honestly, four is too many. Heck, this many RCMP officers haven't died on one occassion since the Louis Riel Rebellion in the late 1800's

At Queens Park Provincial Buildings
I was on my way to work, via TTC bus along Avenue Road, on my way I passed by the Queens Park Provincial Buildings, where I noticed that the flags at the front of the building were all half way down. This must be because we have lost those RCMP officers in that drug raid.
It's so sad!
my condolences to those families that have been affected by this horrible drug raid that ended up bloodbath of death.

day 2
RCMP
Four of Canada’s finest all gunned down.
The flags at Queen’s Park are still half way down the poll.

seems like officers never had a chance in the first place,regular 5.56mm takes out two men standing one behind another.

It was a mistake that shouldn't have happened. There are far too many discrepancies there, and no one seems to be asking the right questions as to how something like this could have happened.
