Whoa did they state that? I though teams were not allowed to make statements regarding players not fit to play? where is that posted?

I know police officers on both sides of the border and have talked to them regarding this specific case your “source” is incorrect. The alert and risk level is elevated but there is no training that says turning ones back into a vehicle is a lethal force justification act none

Anybody that thinks racism is not around us every day in every environment simply needs to read through this forum the racists have all named themselves (at least their usernames) these are people you trade posts with and talk hockey but now I see them in a much different light

Let’s backtrack why don’t we?

You completely missed the point I am well aware if the circumstances if in that same crowd, if a black man brandished an assault weapon and walked toward the police what would the result be? educate yourself past what Tucker tells you Foxnews and the kid will will face prison because he murdered someone

Pm the source

Once again you need to educate yourself it’s not difficult. Google deadly force

Incorrect. I can tell you that from direct knowledge it clearly does not meet the criteria for deadly force nobody in policing will tell you otherwise

Here is a simple thing to think about: in the same city... a black man was shot 7 times in the back while brandishing no weapon a white man walks towards police carrying an assault weapon and they don’t bat an eye think about that for a second the is a serious problem with racial inequality and it needs to change. Thankfully many racist boomers are dying off and change is happening over the generations as hate is taught so thankfully we have less people teaching it to the next generation

Or pepper spray or a bean bag rifle or a police dog lots of other methods biggest issue is that it did not get to the point of clear and imminent danger it was 7 bullets in the back any way you slice it

You really need to educate yourself

Yes !!! thank you

Man can you even comprehend what people post? Seriously I said this is life NOT politics Wahhhh you don’t have hockey tonight, this has been a great benefit for me personally if for no reason other than uneducated hicks have stood up and identified themselves

2 more days for Myers to heal and 2 more days for Toffoli to get to 100 percent is that all bad?

Those of you concerned about mixing “sports” and “politics” this is neither .. it’s the real world, it’s life also keep in mind, it was the Canucks players that gave the largest and biggest push for this 2 day boycott so if you “hate” this decision you are hating the decision of your own players

Ok fair

All of you thinking that the act of resisting arrest or walking away from the police or in fact reaching for a knife constitutes cause for deadly force you are so very wrong if you recall, almost 2 years ago an individual in Toronto was walking around with a knife. A police officer encountered him and the man stood in front of the officer with his knife in his hand imploring the officer to shoot him. Officer refused to shoot and talked to him and eventually the man dropped the knife Every situation is different and stress levels are incredible however if a bias exits then the outcome is fairly predictable I would be horrified and scared if I was a black parent with teenage kids in the US and frankly a lot of other places in the world . In a back ally with no camera recording. things needs to change if people deny that fact then frankly it’s nothing more than a sign of their own bias

Each point you mentioned does not meet the threshold for deadly force officer will be charged you will see

You have no clue do you ?

They have guns he didn’t take the knife, he did not have the knife in his hand nor did he point the knife you think “potentially reaching” for a knife is cause for lethal force ?

Gotta love when these topics are discussed both the juveniles and rednecks come right out of the woodwork and identify themselves to the world

Incorrect that is NOT the litmus test for use off deadly force

Heck great job he is only paralyzed they may get a medal

Under no direct and imminent threat luckily you are not on a police force

Sooooooo let’s just pop 7 caps into him “just in case” makes perfect sense
