This officer ‘killed’ Fredy, But he did not ‘Murder’ him by any stretch of the imagination.
People who break the law and resist police who are upholding Laws that our country holds as important, risk their very lives in their activities and law-abiding citizens need to support officer LaPointe and his partner.

If any of the people who were rioting can be caught, they should be held responsible for the damages they caused to business owners and private property. Also if it can be shown that they are immigrants to Canada who participated in violent or destructive crime, they should be immediately deported as non-desirable elements in a peaceful society. If they were born in Canada, the people who were affected by their crime should have a say in consequences for the offenders. Minimum sentences should also be implemented for rioters. Peaceful demonstration to change laws and fight tyranny and corruption are the most effective means of solving our society’s problems. Rioting is simply an intolerable situation when there are other options available to voice protests. Rioting undermines the peaceful goals of our Laws.

I am not shedding any tears over this event. It was a fair shooting as far as anyone can tell and the riots, would have been at least partially understood by the rest of Canada if they occurred AFTER the judgment on the officers was passed down. Instead, those riots simply harden the hearts of the rest of Canada against the people that were violently reacting to the officers simply doing their job.

I would support a change in Laws and investigation techniques if the shooting appeared even remotely unjust and the cops got away with it. That is how we affect change in Canada, not intimidation by street level thugs who have no respect for what the officers represent, ‘The common will and good of Canadians and more specifically Montrealers.’!

Eye for an Eye is an archaic concept that ignores facts and simply allows human passion to be the source of law.
