Police officer in Edmonton killed while making arrest for hate crimes

[cc]

I can't remember if they are the same thing or not.



If I had it my way, some of these fuck heads would not even see this site nevermind post on it.

Strange for me to suggest ANY rules under normal circumstances - but threats are not normal circumstances



I suggest a Threat = OUT rule.

The killing of an Edmonton police officer Monday night took place while hate-crime investigators were trying to arrest a suspect in the online racial harassment of a local family, the police chief says.



The suspect was identified as 42-year-old Norman Walter Raddatz.



Public records show that in addition to facing allegations of hate crime, Mr. Raddatz owed money to his ex-wife, failed to file returns for his company and had financial problems, with the Royal Bank of Canada moving last fall to foreclose him.

 

Mr. Raddatz is believed to have died in the burning remains of his house, which had gone up in flames after dozens of shots were fired at police.



Mr. Raddatz didn't have an extensive criminal record but was known to police, Edmonton Police Chief Rod Knecht told reporters Tuesday morning.



The Edmonton Sun had reported that Mr. Raddatz might have ties to the Freemen on the Land movement but Mr. Knecht said investigators had no indication he was affiliated with the anti-government Freemen.



He said the officers were shot without warning as they tried to force their way inside the home to serve an arrest warrant against Mr. Raddatz for an existing bylaw violation and for new charges relating to an ongoing criminal investigation.



"The case that led to last evening's events was a lengthy hate-crime file with evidence dating back to February of 2014," Mr. Knecht said.



"The online hatred and bullying of an Edmonton family had become extreme and the family members were increasingly worried about their personal safety, at which time the Edmonton Police Service got involved," Mr. Knecht said.



When no one answered them, the officers started to breach the front entrance and shots were fired through the door, Mr. Knecht said.



Sergeant Jason Harley, who was the first officer at the door, turned away as the shooting started and was wounded in the lower back but the body armour he wore saved his life.



Constable Daniel Woodall, a 35-year-old member of the Hate Crimes Unit, was also wearing body armour. According to Mr. Knecht, Constable Woodall suffered a "catastrophic wound" and died at the scene.



The officers didn't return fire, the police chief said.



Mr. Knecht said 53 bullet holes were found in the house across from Mr. Raddatz's residence. Some of the bullets went through the house, suggesting that the gunman used a large-bore rifle, the chief said.



He said the officers had knocked on the door before they tried to get inside. "We had authority to breach the door."



Mr. Raddatz is then believed to have set his house on fire.



A body was found in the basement and an autopsy will be conducted to determine the identity of the deceased and the cause of death.



"We are not looking for any additional suspect in this case," Mr. Knecht said.



According to corporate records, Mr. Raddatz was the owner of a refrigeration company, North Summit Mechanical Inc., which was registered in 2007.



On June 2, the company's active status was revoked by the registrar of corporations for failing to file annual returns in the last two years.



At the same time, Mr. Raddatz's financial situation was unravelling.



Municipal records show he was $4,182.41 in arrears on his property taxes.



He had a $3,016 outstanding amount on his maintenance payments to his former wife, Leanne.



Last October, Mr. Raddatz faced a writ of enforcement for owing $46,259 to the Royal Bank. A month later, the bank filed an action in court to foreclose him.



Neighbours told Edmonton media that the suspect lived alone and appeared to have personal troubles.



"He's a single guy, two kids, wife left him a long time ago," a neighbour named Ryan told local radio station CHED. "Sits at home every day; he's an alcoholic, just snapped. I don't know what they were arresting him for, but they had a file for him."

Seems like the police in Edmonton have a hate crimes unit for racist fake Asians like Shen Li that use racial slurs in their signatures.

This is possibly the most insulting personal attack against a poster here I have seen through three incarnations of this forum..



You sir will not be allowed to do this any longer.

Sure sure Joak. You hate Shen Li because she is racist against herself.

I know snivel serpents love to tell us what they do is indispensable, but creating a unit just for little ole me? Not even snivel serpents are that wasteful.

Hatecrime unit is total bullshit...



So if a whiteguy whacks a blackguy for whatever reason, the whiteguy gets more years because it was a coloured man he killed.



How can there ever be equality when these PC monkeys create these speshuul treatment units for coloureds?
