Re: Copblock.org Out of all the terrible police shootings I have seen in the news over the year this one bothers me the most.

I left broadcast to form my own company (www.framefarmmedia.com) and hit the branded video content and corporate market. The broadcasters are no longer the gatekeepers to eyeballs so ad agencies are moving their money towards online alternatives for more impact. The industry needs to adapt and...

Broadcast has lost thousands of jobs over the last couple of years due to changing CRTC regs and viewer habits.

I hope they treat it like beer and allow home brew. Grow under a certain amount for home use. Of course the government would want their cut but they do allow home brew of beer and wine.

So many sexual predators with a badge. yikes.

People are desperate for alternatives after years of terrible taxi service. I've used uberX 3 times and every part of the experience was better than taking a cab.

Trump is just spouting off his mouth at the hate filled core of America. Trump has never once given concrete plans on how he would do anything he has said but he keeps just saying stuff (mostly lies) he knows will attract republican voters. Maybe all the stuff he says about how hot his daughter...

Perception is so low that as a society we refer to police who are just doing their job as 'Good Cops'. Its expected that just being an officer infers some less than stellar characteristics that society feels to point out the good ones from just 'cops'.

Its crazy that police need to call in non lethal options. Shouldn't that be the first option on the table not the last? Its a sad commentary that the taser arrived just in time to zap the dead kid.

I can think of 5 options that would accomplish the same goal and are much easier. There were lots of options open to police besides unloading your weapon into a kid who was asking for help previous and in obvious distress with no immediate threat of harm to anyone but himself. Complete failure...

'Warrior' mindset is just what it has been labeled by psychologists. I think it has more to do with the feeling of being at war and needing to always fight instead of de-escalate. I do agree with your statement of what a warrior should actually stand for and these individuals bastardize the...

As I've said before there are two distinct police mindsets the 'Warrior' and the 'Guardian'. We have too many warriors in the police force and not enough guardian mindsets. Guardian mindset: the officer is there to make sure everyone is as safe as possible and that includes the kid in distress...

If Forcillo was on the streetcar in the isle with Yatim within strike distance his quick escalation would be more than warranted. Instead the police are at a safe distance and the suspect is contained. If Yatim tried to get out of the streetcar I could understand the first group shots to...

I love this line ”They are taught there is no such thing as an absolutely safe distance from a person with a knife." There is very much a thing as absolute safe distance form a knife. Are they going with a 'I followed my training and don't use common sense' defence.

I watched that last night with my wife. Powerful stuff.

Leaving children to fester in camps with no hope will make more radicals its just common sense. Bringing them to Canada and exposing them to a society of tolerance of others and our values of inclusion will make a positive impact. Why are you so scared of women and children? Are you saying all...

I didn't see any comments. I wish all community police would leave their cars and interact with the public. I feel the move from beat cops to leering at people from cars was the start of separation between community and policing. I love seeing bicycle cops interact with the community.

I'm not arguing using emotions. Of course when someone presents an opinion different from yours you need to degrade them as emotional which is ridiculous if you want a serious conversation.What your actually saying is that your opinions based on facts are more correct than other peoples opinions...

What hard evidence do you have that they are sending Syrians to North America and Western Europe as opposed to radicalizing citizens of these countries?

Or as many news outlets and even French police believe it was a planted fake passport in order to cause fear of refugees which is what ISIS wants. How can you be so sure when even the experts aren't? Even if the guy came in he didn't pass our security screening. The passport was said to have...
