A knife vs 2 RCMP with pointed guns. If you can't shoot better than that you aren't qualified to be RCMP. #anonymous pic.twitter.com/rzRGVSmeCq

A video uploaded to Facebook with the caption “Shot because the guy showed a knife” shows the moments after the shooting. We are not displaying the video as it is too graphic.
As said above, Anonymous has taken umbrage against the killing of its brethren in cold blood. Just moments ago, the Anonymous have announced a operation call @OpAnonDown to take revenge against the slaying of their brother.
The account @OpAnonDown is gearing up to launch operational updates for our fallen brethren.
