Man dies after police shooting in East Vancouver

[JBoyd]

Tossing around unsubstantiated tripe like the above mentioned tells me plenty about your character, and how much consideration you would get from me. 

Exactly what was 'unsubstantiated tripe'? the information I provided about the Stanley Park Beatings are fact.

Sometimes bad things happen to bad people.

So Kulwinder Parhar was a bad person?  From what I have ever seen about the incident, he was a cab driver that picked up 4 men, 1 of which was an off-duty VPD officer.

So its excessive to shoot someone who pulls a gun on you?

My orginal post was directed more to the biased spin by the media, Not to the shooting.

And yes, the VPD should not be classified by the actions of a few. However, despite the fact that the PLS accusations were withdraw, there are many accusations floating around that the VPD is corrupt (obviously yet to be proven, however accusations still hurt)

THIS unsubstantiated tripe.

Google News Search "Kulwinder Parhar" -Your search - Kulwinder Parhar - did not match any documents.
Never heard of him.  Apparently neither has the media.

Sometimes I wish that every Canadian should be in the military for a mandatory period, then we can teach them about arcs. And how you are supposed to stay in them...

A standard google search turned up a few hits, however being as they are not official sources I will not link them. I did find a mention of him in a Legislative  Assembly report as well.

and to be honest, beating a few thugs and dealers into a pulp seems like it deserves a medal, instead of punishment

IMO, that is a double standard. The people that are employed to uphold the law are able to bend it to their discretion?

You have to be one of the most ignorant persons i have seen come through this site. You make broad-brush statements about an entire Police department based on "accusations" that are "floating" around and accusations that were withdrawn.

Do you have any proof that the VPD is a corrupt organization ?

I dont have any proof but i think you're a moron. At least, thats what i have heard "floating around"

If I could find more symbols to agree with the above statement I would add them....this is all I could find!

I have just read through all the postings on this issue and can honestly tell you all that the public has no idea of how hard a job the police have. Basically, the public cannot even fathom how an officer on the road deals with the pressures on a daily basis. It annoys me endlessly to have people try and play 'arm chair general' when they have not had police training, experience or even a real understanding of the job.

Let the police do their job and get out of their way. The police are there to clean the garbage that society does not want to deal with. God forbid it was one of the innocent public to be a victim and then they cry to the heavens for police help. Seen this all too many times.

On the road.. things are never black and white.

On the road.. things are never black and white.

Except The OPP Crusiers..... Everything outside of that though... is varying shades of grey...

And I hate when people cant realize that... If police lost the ability to use Discretion in their job the legal system would be in worse shape then it already is.. IMHO

There appear to be at least fifty mentions of this person and references to a previous(?) investigation of the incident, but none of the articles look like they were carried by major newspapers.  But then you're talking about an incident that occurred in 2002, not too many major papers out there are still have archives on-line for you to search unless you have a paid subscription to a service like Infomart...
