I heard on the news that the RCMPO & the Edmonton Police service showed up at the farm with a warrant to search for a grow op. nobody was there, but while they were serving the warrant, they discovered a stolen vehicle chop shop. The law required them to obtain a second warrant to search for the chop shop, so two junior officers were left to guard the farm, while the remainder returned for the warrant.
While they were gone, the owner returned, and attacked/killed the officers. They didn't even have time to draw.
Then when the other two officers returned with the warrant, they were ambushed. I don't think that they were expecting anything on an empty farm, which may be why the junior officers were left to deal with the guarding activities.
There should be a way to dispatch electronic warrants over their mobile computers, similar to the way work orders are dispatched to gas company vehicles who are doing work in the field. it's so awful that they had to leave the premises, and return.
so sad.
Edit: I for one have made a resolution never to partake in pot from this point going forward, (unless it's my own brothers's home grown from the sunshine coast) because every dime that is spent on it goes to support the illegals and i am now on strike.
