I always see 4 cop cars parked in front of Tim Hortons, I think it is allocation problem more than lack of people......

not enough people -> work ot  -> paid more -> no budget for new stuffs, it is just an cycle.  if they have enough stuffs, no ot problem la.
paper work is part of their job wor, they are the one in the scene, they should be the one who write the report ma.

I really don't think the false/innocent killings and gangster gun shootings matters are due to shortage of man power.

They are just taking their break at the same time at the same place as planned.

Are police officers overpaid? I think a newbie starts off at around $45k, and it isn't too difficult to move up to the $70k+ for most cops after 5 years or so. Given the potential risks they face on a daily basis, I certainly wouldn't think they are overpaid.

Part of the problem is a lack of funding. A lack of funding results in both a shortage of manpower and perhaps more importantly, a lack of proper training and re-training of the officers. IIRC, the officer that tasered and killed Dizanski has only been with the force for 3 years, and the officier that shot and killed van Hubbard only has 5 years of experience. Given their time in the police force, I'm sure they have seen and dealt with way more rough and tough incidents that us normal people have seen in a lifetime. However, I am really not sure if 5 years' worth of experience is enough. In their previous 5 years, how often did they have to face intense situations where they had to pull out their guns? If you've only done it a handful of times, you are bound to be tense because having the gun pulled out escalates the level of intensity to a whole new level. And when you are tense, you make mistakes.

Are these mistakes forgivable? Absolutely not (even though they are understandable). Short of having actual experience, the second best method to build this experience is through training and re-training. But the local detachments do not have the resources to do that.

If you think they are new with less experience and cannot make the right move in the nick of time. Partner with a senior, learn from their experience. In the academy, I don't think they just teach you how to fire a gun. They should teach in what circumstance you should fire your gun. You have already have a bullet-proof vest, what else you will scare of? You panic because you are heavily equipped and refrain you from running away?

我認為唔可以用lack of funding黎做理由.

開槍對手腳唔對頭
唔去搶錢
唔去圍dup
唔去洗證據
對市民有禮

同 funding 有關咩? 要幾多錢去教呢D common sense?

佢地係 lack of discipline.

lack of manpower?  ridiculous.  四個大漢殺人仲唔夠, 要多D? 有能無搞係錯呀?  火力唔夠加埋火箭炮好味? 同毒販開戰, 將呢度變做戰場呀 7.   

警察其實係應該以最少既武力去維持治安既紀律部隊.
但三樣基本要求, 我地D RCMP 係唔係做得到?

Tim Holtons 唔再講啦... 十字路口著燈過, 過完熄燈慢慢行, 唔好同我講真係有急事.   Full of BS.

well, they even use the police authority to do anything

無錢點做 training？Training 唔夠又點識得正確地、本能地去處理突發事件？

同埋，training唔係淨係學堂學果D。新野日日出現，無錢無得 keep up，refresher training 不足，點樣維持最 sharp 嘅狀態去處理突發事件？

The government has it's own priority set of fundings in different areas. In other words, it doesn't think provides cop training is a high priority or important issue.
