Two Calgary police officers have been cleared of any wrongdoing in an incident that saw a suspect lose a testicle after being shot with an anti-riot weapon.

The incident unfolded on Aug. 2, 2022, after police received several 911 calls saying a man had broken into the municipal building and set several fires inside.

Officers arrived to find the suspect still inside the building, armed with a large machete.

Two officers armed with Anti Riot Weapon Enfield (ARWEN) devices shot the suspect nine times over the course of 35 minutes.

Despite undergoing surgery, the man lost one testicle. The other was injured and only a portion could be saved.

    Gun control laws work for people of low intelligence or low moral character.

    Ah, the No True Scotsman fallacy. It’s so cute when a debate gets a dose of toxic masculinity.

    I’m happy that I don’t need a gun after leaving the infantry and handing in my work tools. That kind of fuckwit paranoia has no place after the 1900s.
