    Default cops with guns drawn?

    my husband and I were driving past algoma university when we saw a pick up truck, at a stop and police surrounding the vehicle with guns drawn. Anybody hear any more on that? Just curious. I was wondering if some one was threatening the school teachers or students?

    hope not.

    lots of stuff doesn't make the news. a few weeks ago they had an area by my house blocked off and there was blood on the ground, multiple police cars and ambulance but it never made the news either.

    Was it the O.P.P or was it the City police? Were the officers dressed in full grey attire? Did you see if it was our E.S.U team? ( Emergency Services Unit )

    If it was the ESU, chances are, they were running another drill. I was invited along to one of their prior drills. They stage school shootings/hostage situations and go in with sim-munition guns (paint filled bullets...they hurt like a mother). They don't get a chance to do much live training since the Sault is rather mellow. They need to keep in practice.

    Anyhoo, if this was the case, I hope I was able to shed some light on a possible explanation.

    Next time they point guns at you, compliment them on there physiques and tell them they have nice guns and ask them if they purchased them locally!

    Problem is, if this guy's an international student, you have NO idea what kind of country he comes from. For all we know, ANYONE pointing a gun at you (including police, military, etc.) in his country means you are about to die.

    I'd like to know if the Toronto robbery suspect was EXPECTED or SUSPECTED of being here in the city. If not, I think the police involved need some retraining regarding this type of situation.

    Perhaps we should be thanking the Police Officers that were responding to a police bullitin with a description that somewhat matched one of the AU students.
    What if that criminal was in our community and innocent people got hurt. What would you all be sayiong then.
    I am sure that our Police Officers did respond to what they truly believed was a wanted criminal.
    It is not their fault that the wanted man's descriptionwas : black and dangerous and he somewhat looked like the individual stopped.
    Police Officers have a difficult time these days, and I think racial profiling is a card that the public pays way too often.

    Sounds a little racially biased to me. Just cause of the color of his skin the mall cops decide he is the wanted man cause his skin color matched. This town is so backwards when it comes to different skin color, cultures or sexual preference it is sicking. 1930 called and asked most of the residents for their views back.
    This city makes Archie Bunker look like an angel.
    When I make up a lie and can not back out of it, I will just say I am leaving town for a funeral and that should cover up the lie.
    Self-laudation abounds among the unpolished; but nothing can stamp a person more sharply as ill-bred.

    If you can't feed them, don't breed them!

    You know, when you use the term 'this city' you're doing exactly the same thing you're accusing the people of doing - you're profiling.

    While I'd agree that racism seems quite a bit more prevalent here than in many other cities I find it somewhat offensive that you'd direct the comment against 'this city', meaning you're including the entire population. EM I don't mean to centre you out on this - I'm just using your comment as an example - I've seen the 'this city' comments many, many times by many, many others and each time I find it offensive, for the same reasons.

    I"d be scared if I had guns pointed at me too, regardless of whether or not he was guilty of any kind of crime.
