Okay, that one even hit me harder than the one for Humboldt. ☹

> A large cop only page I’m on also has a large number of Canadian officers. The word going around is not that he was operating under stricter rules, it’s that in broad daylight with a clear line of sight he was able to immediately determine it wasn’t a gun. That happens every day in the US. It’s happened to me a few times in my career. You usually only hear about it when it goes wrong.

Thanks!  
I needed to hear that. I have heard about so many things going wrong, I am beginning to become fearful of both sides. I appreciate the reminder (especially from a LEO), that the usual outcome is a good outcome.
