Lagopus, first, thank you for the detailed response.

I asked about the report because it seemed pretty odd to me (although I've seen video of Toronto officers standing back while a citizen subdued a armed attacker, those officers were disciplined IIRC) and I couldn't find any more info over here.

Regarding the training....WOW! While you aren't describing the average officer, that is still a significant amount of training compared to what is expected from the average armed officer in Canada.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
