I was sad to learn this. But it was never a favorite thrift shop, just another one on the route, a little more expensive than most, but it just made my treasure hunting a lot easier.
Yeah, you wonder but never get around to googling it and when finally you do this is what you find out. Never again.

An excellent long read on the Police of New York: https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/13/18253848/eric-garner-footage-ramsey-orta-police-brutality-killing-safety
Before you say "Well that's New York..." remember that in Calgary Police have made it a regular practice to execute civilians for holding pen knives or driving impaired. While - on the other hand, if you're a cops son and you stab 5 innocent people to death you get a comfortable diagnosis of Schizophrenia and live out the rest of your days in relative comfort. "Alive" in this instance is relative comfort.
