While London grapples with the ascending fear amongst its citizens fueled equally by the recent appearance of suicide bombers and escalated with an ill planned "shoot to kill" law.
On days ago, 1 innocent South American man fled in terror, not from a proposed terrorist, but, by Bobbies, sworn to protect the innocent. Unfortunatly, the outcome was horrific. The man, chased into a subway, pinned down and then shot 5 times infront of the general public. This man's only link to the terrorists responsible for the attack on the London subway? He shared the same building as the suspects.
I read a fabulous quote today in the paper that sums this whole tragedy up:
"one cannot have liberty without life itself, and it is the primary duty of the state to preserve the lives of its citizens."
Perhaps London bobbies need to be reminded of this.
Meanwhile, here in Ontario, a local OPP officer was involved in a tragic car crash. No murderous suspects, no high speed car chase, there was nary of conflict, except for a stubborn moose and a high way.
Yes, Canadians have their problems just like the rest of the world. However, unlike the rest of the world, one of our problems involves moose.
Canadians drive in terror, fearing that may be the time that they must come face to face with a Moose on a Highway!
Stop laughing. It's scary.
