In memoriam of O.P.P. Constable Vu Pham

Const. Vu Pham, a 15-year veteran of the Ontario provincial police force and a married father of three boys, died several hours after pulling over a pickup truck in the rural southwestern Ontario village of Winthrop on Monday morning. Police have said Pham, 37, was critically shot and immediately incapacitated.

Witnesses described a tense gunfight with 15 to 20 shots fired across a two-lane road in Winthrop, some 375 kilometres south of Sundridge near North Bay, where both the officer and the suspect lived at one time.

Pham, originally from Vietnam, was adopted as a boy by Dan Thompson, who became the pastor at Bethel Pentecostal Church in Sundridge.

I salute u Constable Pham i actually live only about 10 minutes away from seaforth and i couldn't believe something like this happened in our area, respect to all O.P.P officers

@jsuijuris Don't worry brother. There are millions who think the same you do and we out number those who shoot, beat and intimidate us all in the name of keeping the community "safe". Its a shame that people lose their lives because they chose the wrong job.

OMG 1 dislike. That breaks my heart cuz Vu was a good guy and after someone makes a memorial for him and someone dislikes it.

Probably shouldent have choosen a career as a government pawn... Police have no power, the uniform does which is simply an extention of the government. Take away the uniform and they are just another member of society.

@jsuijuris The authority you request has just spoken, It has determined that you are retarded. Oh, and you misspelled Himmler, goof. Did you just recently hear the word Zionist and thought you would try it out? Just a hint; it has no application in this conversation. So the answer to your question, "Why should I keep my opinions to myself?" is, so I won't embarrass myself in front of millions of people. Stupid.

[jsuijuris]

@zomer24 ''/ ''before you what crap like this'' your attitude is childish along with your spelling, your Zionist attitude is akin to Himler. Why should I keep my opinions to myself ? Under what authority are you demanding I stop expressing my views?

Grow a pair of nuts & wake up.
