Sure you can. You will just pay more to do so.

I do not tolerate poor employees and I am prepared to pay to get rid of them. I wouldn't pay a hundred grand for a crap resource that would negatively impact performance of the entire team.

If a known alcoholic or an individual with mental health issues was given a firearm and sent out into the public I would also fire his supervisor.
Funny thing is, both those with mental disorders, or alcoholics, quite often look and even behave like everyone else, and it only becomes apparent there is an issue over time, or due to a stressful event.

Sure, if the supervisor could justify that he had no idea then I wouldn't fire him too.

At any rate this shooter had no place continuing to serve as an armed officer. He either needs to leave the service, or transfer to a role that does not require good judgement, nor access to firearms.

If I was his boss he would already be gone. I would engage HR and legal to figure out the details of whether we have to pay severance....
I could have sworn that was the job of the SIU and you said you were waiting for there report but...

The job of the SIU is to determine whether any laws were broken which is remarkable different than deciding whether he is performing his duties to the standard required. Again, lots of things can get you fired that don't break any law.

You seem to continue to labor under the delusion that people can only be fired or reassigned for criminal wrongdoing. Most firings in Canada do not involve any law breaking.

Still safer than a bullet. (I don't have to ask the question, would you prefer to be tasered or shot with a gun?)
Did I say anywhere a bullet is safer?!

I'm just pointing out a tazer is also no guarantee that kid wouldve survived. And had Sammy been killed by a tazer instead of a gun, the usual suspects wouldve been up in arms demanding tazers be banned too

Guarantee or not, the probability of survival would have risen exponentially with a taser. I doubt that we would have seen such an uproar, but I still think they should've tried communicating with the kid instead of taunting him.


If he had a gun pointed at a hostage's head, I say take him out with a gun shot. But that was not the case here.

Taunting him ? he was the one calling the cops pussies.
