I think there’s a potential this sort turns into police training nightmare, the only civilian death and its from a police officer point blank and on video

Combined with the public already pissed about RCMP failing Tumbler ridge, police media firestorm

Yea this is looking like it could very easily be turned into a “The police fucked up at responding to this.” Which ngl they objectively did. They not only lost someone due to lack of proper training (atleast that’s my understanding.) but actively killing a civilian. Technically this struggles to be even defined as a mass shooting. As the shooter only killed one person. The other death was because of the cop.

The police fucked in Nova Scotia as well and that led to the OICs - even though they could have prevent it and illegal guns were used.

To be fair the OICs were brewing since 2019. They and Nova Scotia made a shit load of noise for being literally the deadliest mass shooting in Canadain history.
