Edit: okay holy shit rip Mr Kotanko. Basically the Toronto police department executed a search warrant against him for whatever reason, entered his shop with guns drawn and gunned him down on the spot.
Mr Kotanko was accused of illegally supplying two 1911s to criminals which were found registered to him at two different crime scenes. My guess is that they were stolen. They also claimed he pointed a gun at them, which also could very well be completely made up, but either way real genius move to conduct a violent armed raid against a gunsmith. Fucking idiots. The whole situation seems incredibly gross and dubious and is a clear example of the police covering their own asses about a clear cut case of police brutality. Even if Mr Kotanko was guilty of what he was accused of this is still an atrocious example of police brutality.
Iâm not even joking the fucking CBC tried to justify this murder due to the sign Mr Kotanko had on his shop that said âdue to the rising costs of ammo donât expect a warning shotâ.
I am shocked I didnât know about this earlier. You cannot hate the government and their jackboot thugs nearly enough.
Nah itâs worse than that. They confiscated his log books with all records of whoever he sold his firearms to. The speculation is he sold these pistols to someone who has connection to TPS (I watched a documentary alleging it was a TPS officers son - though this part is hard to prove without the logbook). The person with connections to TPS trafficked the guns and the raid/shooting/confiscation is part of the coverup protecting TPS from their involvement.
Again, all speculation until we have access to the logbook.
