That is absolutely tragic!  I work as a fire/medic, and routinely deal with law enforcement at the city, county, and state levels.  The majority of the officers I work with are very professional, and take their jobs very seriously.  The officer in the video, however, seems to me to be in the wrong in this incident.  I found myself angry at the officer as I watched that video.  I am not privied to the whole story surrounding this incidnet (that is for the courts to work out), but if this officer is found guilty, I hope he is punished to the full extent of the law.

I saw the head line and thought Ottawa Ontario crucify the cop for drawing his weapon even.

What I notice is the attoney trying to say it looked like the rider was reaching for a weapon.
It did Not look like it to me.
Fortunately most cops in Ottawa are not so trigger happy.

Me either. It looked like he was just looking over his shoulder to see the officer. Why didn't the officer tell him to put his hands on his head while maintaining a defensive position? All easy for me to say after the fact but it sure looks like he overreacted.

when i get pulled over (notice i said when, not if) i keep my hands on the bars until the officer gets there and asks me for registration and insurance and i move REAL slow. i also hand him my cwp if i'm carrying.
