    Any body would expect the police to schoot if somebody is going after them with a machette. What is the problem? The police can defend themselves.

    anyone has the right to defend themselves when being attacked, in particular when a weapon is involved.

    I have to commend the guy's brother and his very mature attitude about the entire picture.

    �I�ve had enough of aboriginals blaming police and saying it�s racism. I�m aboriginal myself and I�m sick and tired of it,� he said.


    Courchene said he hopes to use his brother�s death to focus on trying to make a difference by promoting positive lifestyle choices.
    �This has got to end � the fighting between cops and aboriginals, and the drinking,� Courchene said.


    �I don�t care if people look at him as bad,� Courchene said. �He was still my brother and I loved him, and if I had to carry him home drunk, I didn�t care. He was someone to me and that�s all that matters.�


    Wow. Ariculate, insightful, intelligent and compassionate. Hope he runs for office one day.

    I want to let him know that I forgive him.


    While the rest of what he said was fine and dandy, this comment sort of stood out like a stick in the eye. To be forgiven, you first had to have done something wrong. The officer(s) did everything right, so this sounds a little tongue in cheek.
