We are all aware that some police can be placed in a situation where the likely hood of the officer being fatally injured is a likely outcome and they have to take immediate action to protect themselves and others by taking a human life. However, that was not the case in Dawson Creek British Columbia. An unidentified RCMP officer gunned down anonymous hackavist, 48-year-old James Daniel McIntyre in cold blood.
McIntryre wearing the Guy Fawkes mask was protesting at a public meeting held at the Fixx Urban Grill restaurant against the Site C dam, which is to be built this summer by BC Hydro, a Canadian utility company.
According to eyewitness reports there was another individual creating a disturbance in the restaurant, which was the original reason to why the RCMP was called in the first place. By the time the RCMP arrived, that individual had left. The RCMP later admitted that the man that they killed was not the man involved in the disturbance during a meeting about a planned controversial dam that is to be built.
The reason given to why the RCMP officer killed McIntryre is that he would not surrender the knife that he had in his possession when demanded by the officer. Given the distances between McIntyre and the Officer, the officer life was not in immediate danger. The only Statement that the RCMP has given to this date is; “There was a confrontation”, whatever that means.
