Coconut custard...

If you don't know, he directed Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy.

[Buddy.Holly's airoplane]

Tbh I never heard of the guys name, but I love Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy so screw that guy for shooting him. RIP

Vancouver police maintain that the officer shot the man in self defence.
Now I'm curious to what really happened =/

[itastenice]

Shit.

Just....shit.

[BAN ME PLEASE]

That show wasn't doing good by the 4th season anyway. Sucks that it was by the police though.

[John Travolta]

On August 19, 2007, he was killed by a police officer over a fight as to whether or not Ed, Edd, and Eddy, was a good show or not. The polieman disagreed that it was a good cartoon show, and so took a gun out and shot Paul Boyd.
Ahahahaha!

[Ox]

He "was shot after police allege he began assaulting officers responding to a 911 call with a potentially lethal weapon."

Serves him fucking right.

I dig Ed, Edd & Eddy, but fuck him for attacking cops on an emergency call.

[El Mojado]

I hope they take him off the force. The guy didn't do anything besides direct music videos and animate Ed, Edd N Eddy thats all. There are bigger douches than me in the world.

I heard he also came out cloning a T-Rex to assault the White House, so really the policeman is an American Patriot.

[Intestiny Destiny]

So, how's it feel to be hated by an entire generation of kids who watched that cartoon?

[Ox]

Apart from the whole assaulting police officers with a potentially deadly weapon whilst they attended to an emergency call... yeah, but apart from that he was a stand up guy that nobody really knows anything about.

[Intestiny Destiny]

"Jonathan Menzies said he was in a stopped bus when the gunfire began. He compares the man's death to an execution, claiming he was on his knees when the last shots were fired."

"Another witness, Christine Adkins, told CBC News on Tuesday she did not see the alleged assaults but she saw the man attempting to flee when he was shot by police in the middle of traffic."

Yes, because self defense involves shooting a guy who's running away.

So he was assasinated on his knees whilst running away?

The cops are douches. Hell even yesterday some poor dog was shot 9 times in the head after some cop said "I found him a threat". He was chained up for the love of god. Cops just want to look good, so they say shit like that so they can wipe off the blood and walk off.

[Ox]

Cops have one of the hardest jobs there is. They aren't beaten down and desensitised like soldiers, yet are expected to make cold, calculated, rational decisions when their own and other people's lives are at risk about taking another human being's life. Whatever the liberal media, or the uninformed masses may tell you, I don't know a single police officer who likes the idea of shooting someone to death.

I also know, that if I was being attacked by a dog, regardless of whether it was chained or not, and I had a gun in my hand, I'd fucking shoot it.

[Intestiny Destiny]

So he was assasinated on his knees whilst running away?

Put the two statements together and you should come up with your own conclusion.

He was running away and got shot. He fell on his knees and was finished with another shot.

I don't know a single police officer who likes the idea of shooting someone to death.
It's not a matter of what they like. People are impulsive on anger.

[El Mojado]

It was no bigger than a poodle. All he did was bark, thats it. No growling, no foaming at the mouth, just sitting there and barking warning its owners that someone came in into their property. Thats all.

[Ox]

According to someone on a bus who we don't know from Adam and who may or may not have seen all or any of what actually happened.

[Ox]

That's according to the people that are pissed off that their dog just got shot.

According to the Police Officer, it posed a threat to him.

Two sides to every story guys, the cops aren't out to fuck the World over - most of them do the job to help people, protect them and to stop criminals.

[El Mojado]

So a barking dog is a threat? Come to Texas and you'll see that barking dogs is no big fucking deal.

[Intestiny Destiny]

This should explains some things. The guy was bipolar and he was swinging his bike chains at a cop. That sucks.

[Sugabe]

I'm in agreement with Intenstiny Destiny. Witness reports seem to be the opposite of police reports. For all anyone knew the cops could have approached him with their guns out. Seems standard for assault with a deadly weapon. He was probably just scared out of his mind because they had their guns out. I believe cops are taught to shoot to injure not kill. Given that at a distance bike chains are not deadly I think they were supposed to have just shot him in the leg or something. I hope they didn't shoot him square in the chest. That's execution without a trial.

If they shot him in the leg and happened to hit a major artery, then oh well, sucks that he was off his medication or something.

I'm probably biased, I've only ever met asshole cops. I'm listed as a minor threat to campus because someone BEHIND me told a marijuana joke. I got searched for hash. I'd say cops often use excessive force and get away with it because they are cops.

[John Travolta]

They didn't need to kill him, but they also didn't need to get hit with a padlock chain. What they should have done was use a taser gun, subdue him and send him to jail.

The police officer that shot him was probably either right out of the Academy, and didn't understand what was going on(still doesn't condone the shooting), or he mistook the chain for something else. I'm sure he will lose his job either way, just because of the fact that the person he shot didn't have a firearm, and he was bipolar.

The cops are douches. Hell even yesterday some poor dog was shot 9 times in the head after some cop said "I found him a threat". He was chained up for the love of god. Cops just want to look good, so they say shit like that so they can wipe off the blood and walk off.
This comment is really not called for. I doubt that any of that happened, and if it did then show a source, and I'll tell you where it says the dog was rabid and unchained.

I really have no idea why you have it in for the police, when it's because of them you don't get killed in your sleep. The fact that the cops killed a potentially rabid dog, or caught you smoking marijuana(illegal, btw) trumps the fact that they protect the streets of the world from murderers and rapists? Take that shit somewhere else.

[Mr. Crow]

I believe cops are taught to shoot to injure not kill.

My mom was a cop. She says that they were trained to "shoot to stop," whether that requires just popping the guy in the knee, or filling him with lead.

About dogs: I dunno what it is about dogs and cops, but police officers just seem to freak around around dogs. That might be because they hang around police-trained dogs, and know what they can do.

My neighbor across the lake had a dog, a black Labrador, that would always escape and run up and down the shore. It wasn't menacing at all, just a normal, friendly dog, excited to be free to run around. Eventually, one of the neighbors got pissed off, and called the police. The police shot the dog, deeming it a threat.

You know how dogs like to run up to people, sometimes jump up in front of them, just being friendly? Well, cops are edgy assholes with loose trigger fingers, and a lot of times shoot dogs because of that. Also, dogs have been shot from growling "threateningly" or barking "threateningly" at a cop. Anyone could see that half the fucking dogs in a neighborhood growl at you when you walk by- that doesn't mean they have the intention to ravage you.

Anyone with more than half a brain could distinguish between a dangerous, rabid dog, and the family friend.

[Niki]

Aww.. That was my favorite show as a kid, too.

[Sugabe]

John if you are referring to me as the one "smoking illegally" you didn't read my post. I said nothing about marijuana to prompt the officer to harass me, nor have I ever seen or smoked it, but I was the one stopped and given a record. Yet, I am apparently a threat to campus according to the cop who stopped and searched me. They found no evidence against me, but I have a red flag on campus so any time a different officer stops me I get harassed about it again.

The red flag gives them probable cause to search me if they stop me. Officers around here stop you for things like walking too slow.

What I am trying to say is officers aren't always right in their course of action. Power makes them act a little more rash than your average bear. At least that is true for the cops around here.

[Ox]

No, cops aren't always right. Most of the time they are trying their damnest to do a fucking difficult job and it pisses me off that the same people who are all "fuck da police - they're all assholes!" are the same people who wouldn't hesitate to dial 999 the minute they were in trouble, expecting swift justice to be dealt on someone threatening them.

[El Mojado]

I'm not saying all cops are assholes. The only thing I hate is that they don't agree to a non-lethal force. Some cops are accually pretty nice, (the sargent of my neighborhood lets my friends go if they catch a small ammount of weed on them) but what I am saying is that if your gonna shoot don't aim for the head or torso aim for the leg or shoulder or arm. Anything non-lethal, but if the guy has a gun and threating to shoot then by all means shoot where ever. I rather see some guy that was threating to kill cops with a AK in a body bag then a cop who was doing his/her job. But the cop in vancover shot him in the head after he shot him in the leg.

[John Travolta]

I wasn't, that's just the default excuse that most teenagers run to when talking about the police.

The cops are douches.

And if the police have any reason to shoot you, then they are going for the kill, if you guys weren't aware.

If you need to shoot someone, you aim for the centre-mass (the torso). You are far less likely to miss that way. If the person is a suspected terrorist, you aim for the head as they may have explosives on their body. If you aren't a trained marksman, but merely a firearms trained officer, chances are you're just trying to put bullets in the guy before he puts them in you - accuracy can't always be expected.

[NVM]

Directors can be replaced.
This dosn't mean the end of the show.

[Lag]

Didn't the show actually end already?

[SWiTCH]

I love cops. I live in a dangerous neighborhood and it's comforting to have them around.

I think generally police do whatever it takes to protect themselves/partners. If someone threatens them, they usually won't give that person the opportunity to carry out those actions. A sentiment I agree with. The moment you put someone's life in danger, you forfeit your own.

[Niki]

I live on the east side of Detroit and cops don't do SHIT here.
It sucks because we actually need them.

[Riddlebox]

I like Ed, Edd, n Eddy, but I can't find anything on wikipedia about this guy. Even on the Ed, Edd, n Eddy article it doesn't say anything about him.

Link please?

[McGruff]

Ed, Edd and Eddy was a brilliant show that i loved. Its too bad he was shot but i guess its just a cop doing his job. But, let me put it this way. If a angery man (not a fact, just guessing) came at you with a bike chain [swinging] and you had a gun and felt he was a threat woudnt you shot? not saying he made the right shot, e couldve gone for somewhere to immobilize him but i guess its just the luck of the draw. Bye Paul Boyd, you kicked major cartoon making butt.

[Nift]

Now I feel bad about that time I said everyone responsible for Ed, Edd n Eddy should be shot.

[Jiggz]

My mom was a cop.

Sorry.

Ed, Edd and Eddy was crap. The drawing style irritated me, the plots were lame and the characters 1 dimensional.

R.I.P. shitty cartoon maker guy.

[Oberlin]

Sorry.

R.I.P. shitty cartoon maker guy.

Agreed, but at the same time there was a weird kinda charm to it, especially with Edd.

[Kenneh]

The cartoon had sexual innuendos I could understand

[Whorelock]

The things cops have to do, I doubt they took up the job just for some power, or to feel big. I know a guy whose job it is to scrape up corpses off the road after a car accident. I don't think he took the job to have some power. A lot of other cops would feel the same, they have to risk gunfights with crimz, and die for anyone around them with a split second desicision.
Also, all this stuff about cops shooting dogs, I doubt most of it is true, and if it is, they didn't do it just to be an asshole.

[Kenneh]
