Couldn't find an appropriate thread, merge if you want.

So an incident happened in Niagara the other day, very close to my home, which ended with one police officer shooting another at least 5 times.

The officer who was shot had a history of rage issues and had been disciplined by the Niagara Regional Police several times.

Critics of the lack of information have been coming out.

This is believed to be the first cop-on-cop shooting in Canada. The victim is in stable condition but reportedly had part of his nose shot off.

Now, the Toronto Star had published an article detailing an interview with the victim's brother, chronicling his history of abuse:

Not to denigrate police officers as a whole, but I think there are definitely issues in the culture, especially when it comes to discipline

Is it time to take discipline for police officers out of their respective forces hands? Or do you risk not being able to do anything because they will close ranks amongst themselves?
