OPP shoot man dead hours after mask dispute leads to alleged assault

Officers called to supermarket in Minden, Ont., on Wednesday morning



Ontario's police watchdog is investigating after officers fatally shot a 73-year-old man in Haliburton County on Wednesday morning.



The man had refused to wear a mask and allegedly assaulted a grocery store employee before driving away, Ontario Provincial Police say.



Police were called to a Valu-Mart in Minden, Ont., just after 8 a.m., OPP Sgt. Jason Folz said.



Officers tried to stop the suspect's car, but they refrained "in the interest of public safety" before doing a follow-up investigation, Folz said.



Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said the man drove away, and an officer saw the car and started following it for a short while. Based on the licence plate, officers made their way to a home on Indian Point Road, the SIU said.



2 officers fire guns, says SIU

Outside the home there was an "interaction," and two police officers fired their guns, the SIU said.



Folz said that after shots were fired, "additional resources" were brought to the area near Eagle Lake, by the village of Haliburton, about 215 kilometres northeast of Toronto.



The man was shot and taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:47 a.m., the SIU said.



Folz said the victim was from the Eagle Lake area.



In a news release issued Thursday morning, the SIU said investigators had recovered a pistol and a semi-automatic rifle from the scene. The firearms of two police officers were also taken into evidence, the agency said.

And the lunacy continues.



Louisiana man accused of backing car into officer who asked him to wear mask at Walmart



A Louisiana man was arrested after allegedly running his car into a police officer who asked him to wear a mask at a Walmart store.



Ricky Taylor, 64, faces charges of disorderly conduct, resisting an officer and aggravated assault with a motor vehicle upon a peace officer, according to an arrest report from the West Monroe Police Department.



The officer had told Taylor inside the Walmart Tuesday that it was policy for every customer to wear a mask, according to an arrest affidavit. Taylor responded by cursing at the officer, saying "You can't make me wear a f---ing mask" and "I'm not wearing a f---ing mask."



The officer asked Taylor for his license as he began to leave the store, to which Taylor replied: "I could give it to you but I'm not," the affidavit said.



So the officer followed Taylor out of the store, and while he was reporting Taylor's license plate number to dispatch "Taylor backed his vehicle up and struck him two different times," the arrest report said.



The officer said he did not fall down after he was struck, but he did lose his balance.



Another officer who responded to the scene asked Taylor to exit his car and attempted to handcuff Taylor, who pulled his arms away, fell to the ground and continued to resist arrest while on the ground, the affidavit said. He was eventually arrested.

If I choose not to wear a mask or I forget to bring it with me when I go into town, does not give some berating wanker the right to get up in my face about it. If they try that shit, I'll fucking drop em.
