Very sad day, all 4 were very young officers... :(

DH

Just seen it on the news...some grow op and the dude had a high powered rifle...RIP .a real shame for just pot...that shit happens everyday here(grow op busts)

jesus, that's terrible....

over some weed too.... im going to amsterdam to smoke weed because they tolerate it, and here some scumbag is murdering police over it... stark contrast ...

why did they waste their time on Weed? as you can see, even if that guy had all the weed in the world there, it would not be worth an half od a life

thats very sad

Then the coward kills himself. RIP 4 officers.

Legalize weed

Sad news. :( RIP to the officers.

Unfortunately I don't think this will help our fight against prohibition. :(

RIP RCMP officers. Nothing is worth more than a human life.

There will be loads of people calling for tougher drug laws because of this, when the real solution is to just decriminalize the production and consumption of marijuana. Canada, US, everywhere needs to decriminalize it and end the hysteria about weed.

holy fuck. that's retarded.

Thats some fucked up shit :(

Just say no, drugs are bad.

Such a crazy turn of events for that tiny town. It sounds like the grower figured he was busted & decided to go down in a blaze of glory. Such a waste.

if anyone heres of a (legit) charity for their families, please post here.

so sad :(

That's just soo sad. RIP :(

Yeah heard about it on the news, pretty shitty. All for pot, pretty fucken nuts.

US cops don't waste their time on weed bullshit.

You know what pisses me off most about the fucking canadian police and army.

Those cops we're shot around 10 a.m.

reinforcement didn't storm the building until 2 fucking p.m.

they could have bled to death

what a fucking waste.

Yeah, there's no war on drugs in America at all. :error :error

So so sad...but it wasn't because of pot, it was because of a crazy idiot with a gun. Those men were just doing their jobs. So sad :(

there was a murder about 2 weeks just a few blocks from my house. It was a grow op and the 26y old guy that was living in the house was shot, and then the house was lit on fire. I heard the fire engines going by my house that night on the way to the fire. I walk my dog by that same house every night and have been doing so for the past couple of years. Weird stuff.

all my condolences to their families

That's terrible. :(

I was thinking the same thing as I read the article, they waited 4 hours before going in, knowing that 4 of their officers were potentially wounded? If I was a family member that would certianly haunt me knowing that.

if so take your banner down - you are glorifying alcohol in it. :2 cents:

A big loss.

'Guy was a freak'
Dad, old acquaintances agree killer was like ticking bomb


To his father, he was "the devil." To old acquaintances, he was a "freak" and a man they feared. Everyone seemed to agree that from an early age James Roszko was a dangerous guy with a huge chip on his shoulder. And he really didn't like the RCMP.

"The guy was a freak. He's been in trouble ever since I've known him," said the man, who requested anonymity. "He had problems years ago already. We started hanging around together when we were kids ... and he started going strange then, and everyone just sort of backed away from him, so he did his own thing."

Local Mounties had trouble with Roszko "for years and years," the man said. "It just amazes me that they would go in there like that. I know I wouldn't go in there unless I was prepared for the worst -- because that's all you could expect from this fellow. It doesn't surprise me if he shot himself either. He wasn't the type of guy to give up."

Roszko has had numerous run-ins with the law over the years, served time in prison at least once and was known as a man who liked weapons. He also shot at people who came on to his rural property before.

In court documents obtained yesterday, Sun Media learned Roszko, 46, faced several charges involving using a 12-gauge shotgun on two trespassing intruders in 1999.

The five charges, including aggravated assault, pointing a firearm and assault with a weapon, were dismissed on Oct. 16, 2003, after the Crown called no evidence.

Edmonton lawyer Guy Fontaine once represented Roszko and said the killer was never a one to be messed with.

"I would never have wanted to be on the bad side of Roszko," Fontaine said.

"He was very self-righteous. He was always right, and everyone was out of line."


This dude was one fucked up idiot
