There are other aspects that you failed to mention which led to her decision. 1 of which is this:

I would be careful what you "report" on these forums, because the stupid kids and/or ignorant adults will use it to further their equally stupid and/or ignorant views.

Well are you going to find someway to justify shooting and killing an unarmed man?

My view is that a cop executed someone via a gunshot to the back of the head and has faced no charges or arrest - care to state how this is ignorant or stupid?

No. I'm not going to justify someone else's actions.

Your views are your own, as are mine. No where did I state your views are stupid or ignorant.

What I will say is, no one on this forum can feel even an ounce of the emotional turmoil this has caused more than Ian's family. If Ian's own mother can look forward, maybe we should follow suit, and finally let it rest. Ian's mother wanted to "expose the flaws in the current system", and she achieved that. What more can we say?

It was bound to happen sometime.. Cops these days..:facepalm:

our concern is our police force as a whole... not just this one incident but all the questionable incidents and how everything will be handled (as a whole) in the future... our causes were parallel at a point but they are distinct, hers may have ended but why should ours when hers is just but one facet?

That guy is stupid! What the hell was he thinking? Who was buying off him?????

ISNT THIS JUST AS BAD AS DRINKING AND DRIVING and injuring or worst case killing someone??

i hope they remain tough on these cops..

its prolly a undercover cop he never met from a different detachment...

and im pretty sure he wasnt the first cop to get busted for this..

haha i heard about this on the radio on the way to work

Unfortunately, I'm sure he's not the only cop out there in the lower mainland confiscating drugs for personal use or sale.

fuck this shit, I'm sure he isn't the only one, just the only one who was dumb enough to piss someone off enough that they ratted on him.
