Are cops trained to KILL????
We are all aware of the circumstances which surround the event of the fatal shooting of David Leclair. Cops are trained to SHOOT NOT KILL. Action and Justice needs to be served!
The officer which was on duty (BLAIS) has taken away David Leclairs life from his 9 year old daughter his mom, and all his loved ones and friends.
Whether he was a "good" guy or a "bad" guy, did he deserve to be shot once? NO, Twice? NO, THREE TIMES??? NO!!!
Blais should of called for back-up. If the cop felt threatned he should of never taken this situation into his own hands, if he was being attacked (which he was not) then it would justify taking the gun out.
Not only did he enter the Leclairs family home without a warrant, he was rude and demanding and use pepper spray...
But the worse of it all, he shot Dave 3 times... I thought officers were trained to shoot in the leg or arm? Not where our arteries or organs are!
Cops of Aylmer are unprofessional wearing their army pants and/or jeans.
THEY ARE HERE TO SERVE AND PROTECT- NOT TO SERVE AND KILL.... if we can not be comfortable calling the officials to come and protect, then what can we do as citizens when we need them the most?
Please sign this petition if you feel what happened that morning was unprofessional and preventable.
JUSTICE NEEDS TO BE SERVED...
RIP DAVE!

Family claims shooting victim had been harassed for months

David LeClair, 32, was shot dead on Saturday by a police officer who was reportedly responding to abuse allegations from his ex-girlfriend. LeClair's family says the woman had been harassing him for months with phone calls and unexpected visits.
Family questions police tactics after witnessing man's shooting death
Family members of a Gatineau man who was fatally shot by a police officer Saturday claimed his ex-girlfriend had been harassing him for months until he asked police to intervene.
David LeClair dated the woman on and off for about four months, and the couple were engaged at Christmas.
But the relationship went sour, the engagement called off, and things spiralled downhill from there.
LeClair's mother Dorothy said her son had called police on his ex-girlfriend.
"It's a love affair that went bad, but it didn't have to go this far," she said, alleging that her son's former fiancee had been harassing him with phone calls and unexpected visits.
Repeated attempts by the Sun to contact LeClair's ex-girlfriend by phone yesterday were not successful.
When a lone police officer arrived at LeClair's home at 16 Conroy St. in Aylmer in mid-morning Saturday, family say it was in response to abuse allegations from his ex.
TREATED AS 'A JOKE'
"David thought it was a joke," said Dorothy.
"Everybody thought it was a joke. David thought the officer was joking, he didn't know it was his death," said LeClair's sister, Diane.
According to witnesses, the officer followed LeClair inside his home, beat him with a club and pepper sprayed his eyes, threatening to shoot LeClair's brother Robert and 73-year-old mother Dorothy if they intervened.
"He came in like a madman out of hell ... very aggressive," said Dorothy.
Once outside, the officer ordered LeClair to lie face down on the pavement.
When he didn't comply, he was shot twice through the stomach and once in the arm from close range.
His 10-year-old nephew Alex was seated in the passenger seat of a pickup truck metres away from the shooting.
"He was so scared, he put his hands up as if the cop was going to shoot him too. He's traumatized," said Diane.
The police investigation has been turned over to the provincial Surete du Quebec, who remained tight-lipped about case details.
SHOCK COUNSELLING
"The investigation is ongoing, and any information will be turned over to the Crown," said Sgt. Marc Butz, who added the unidentified officer who shot LeClair is being counselled for shock.
"I know he was in shock," said witness and neighbour Robert Pombert.
"After he shot Dave he just stood there. He didn't try to help him, he didn't try to revive him. Nothing. I asked him four times if he called the ambulance, but the first cars to arrive were all cops. We had to wait ten minutes for the ambulance, but it sure felt like longer."
