Three Winnipeg police officers hurt by gunshots while executing drug warrant Quote:
WINNIPEG (CP) - Grim, determined Winnipeg police officers spent early Friday trying to figure out what went wrong when three of their colleagues were shot while executing a drug warrant.
The officers were being treated for gunshot wounds at the Health Sciences Centre hospital, police said. The suspect in the shootings was also injured and taken to hospital. More than two dozen police cars were scattered throughout a cordoned-off neighbourhood on the city's south side as officers scoured the area and interviewed witnesses in the aftermath of the shootings late Thursday.

When are we going to demand we stop putting our fine law officers in these dangers over drug related issues?
This happened in Canada, but it happens in the U.S. and many other places everyday.
Illegalizing drugs strengthens and adds financial support to the black market, and creates these problems. Common sense legalization laws only make sense.
