The guy who killed the rookie OPP officer a few days ago had two lifetime bans on owning or possessing firearms, and was arrested last year for assault police and possession of a firearm, he did some time in lock up before getting bail and then failed to appear for a court date when he ambushed and killed the officer on his first day on solo patrol.
This nonsense of releasing people on bail who are facing serious violent charges has to stop on both sides of the border. Governments and the courts job is supposed to be to protect society, not feed them to the wolves.
