Re: "Police Officer Arrested...Subdued by Rubber Bullet", Montreal Gazette, Oct.22, 2008
What - nobody Tazered or shot dead by Police this time?
Hats off to Montreal's finest for using ONLY rubber bullets to subdue, without loss of life or serious injury, a distraught fellow-officer who had barricaded himself inside a gym, gone on a bizarre rampage, and fired shots from his service revolver.
This incident demonstrates that police can indeed respond to and successfully resolve a dangerous and potentially deadly situation, at least when it comes to one of their own, without having to use deadly force.
If only this had been the case for Robert Dziekanski, Freddy Villanueva, and countless others who have died at the hands of Police.

No matter how appalling it may seem, Edward Hakim's defence lawyer is only employing good legal strategy by appealing his client's 18-month jail sentence to the Quebec Court of Appeal.
Past judgements have often shown that when it comes right down to sentencing, Quebec's wimpy judges seem to have more compassion with convicted criminals than they do with the victims of criminal acts.
With such week-kneed judges routinely handing criminals free "get-out-of- jail" passes, I would not at all be surprised if Hakim has his already-lenient sentence, for effectively destroying Patricia Jolicoeur's life, reduced to time to be served in the community.
I'm sure that Patricia's father would not need much convincing to agree that the expression, "the law is an ass", could very well apply to Quebec's Justice System.
