Our regular police are involved in a seemingly never-ending series of judgment calls involving policing and weapons. Now these armed, "fully trained" officers will be policing an additional powder-keg environment. If SkyTrain stations have long been a breeding ground for crime, why hasn't the VPD cracked down on them? Sooner or later, there will be a shooting incident on SkyTrain. Probably sooner.
