Seems like CBC is trying to spin this to be negative.

The woman allegedly said she wanted the police to come and shoot her, the dispatch said.

Careful what you wish for.

Why all the fuss.. It's not like the Police have a legal limit on the number of perps they take down a week. It's not like deer season.

More people get depressed and commit suicide during the Christmas Holidays, it's sad that she didn't have the balls to do it herself and pushed the police into killing her.

Save your pity, she lived.

If you read the top bit of the report the Sask. cops are considering laying charges against her.

Yeah it is justice.

Getting shot does not bestow diplomatic immunity to criminal charges.

They'll just make a totem to her. That, and a special on TV will be her reward.

Doesn't this sound suspicious to anyone else ? Two shootings by the police within a week in a place like Saskatchewan and in both cases each suspect was wielding two knives ? It seems like an amazing coincidence to me. Not just that both suspects in were stupid enough to approach the police with knives, but that both suspects were armed with two knives. Is their an unusual number of ambidextrous people in Saskatchewan?

Also, why didn't the witness hear the shots ?

are you trying to put a conspiracy theory spin on this?

it is a well known fact that witnesses are fickle, for some people you could shoot someone with a tank and a witness standing beside the tank wouldn't remember a freggen thing.

No I just thought it seemed an odd coincidence, and was worth mentioning, it appears there were people watching in both cases so I am sure both shootings are justifiable or will be exposed quickly if they were not. Police have every right to defend themselves.
