Victim not white enough for the surburbanites to care.

These things don't change unless there is moral outrage and I doubt the black and African community in Edmonton has the money to spend days protesting

I see no issues with the officer returning to active duty… assuming that duty is behind a desk and totally unrelated to anything that could cause a conflict of interest with this investigation.

Normally I’d say “put them on suspended leave until the investigation is complete” for everyone’s benefit — but I also want to make sure this investigation is thorough, which may take more time than it would take for the officer to go through rehabilitation and return to work.

If it is later found that the officer was negligent in their duties, then they should go to jail for manslaughter, just like anyone else. After all, they are supposedly trained to handle this sort of situation.

If the officer was following protocol at all times, then they need counselling and rehabilitation and the Edmonton Police need their protocols overhauled and some consequences including stricter oversight. If it turns out there were actual threats uttered and an indication of threat of immediate harm to the officer, then that information needs to be made public following the investigation.
