    The officer, Const. James Forcillo, has been suspended with pay* pending an ivestigation of the shooting by Ontario's SIU, a provincial level civilian agency created to investigate just such a situation. Which only lays charges in 3% of cases. And is staffed mostly with ex cops. And the victims are mostly the mentally ill on a violent break, or someone in a very bad mental place.





    *which is standard procedure according to the Police Protective Association (how's that for a union name).
    So an update on this. The cop who shot the kid has been charged with second degree murder.

    The cops were acquitted of murder so they walked.

    Then there is this:
