Canadian PM draws fire for drinking wine during Ottawa shooting

(First of all my thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of today's shooting in Ottawa today)

Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper is taking heat for reportedly drinking on the job during a briefing on the Ottawa shooting which is not behaviour typical from a head of state during a crisis and there is a photo that shows this in the article with a glass of wine.

While others might not think this is a big deal, it is because this is not behaviour of a leader of a country during a mass shooting and adds further scrutiny to the Canadian government's response to the shooting at the Parliment which took the life of a Canadian solider also the RCMP told the public to not share any photos or videos relating to the shooting raising concerns that officials were trying to clamp down on the details of the shooting available to the press "Members of the public are asked not to post videos or photos of the on going incident to ensure the safety of the first responders and the public " the RCMP said via twitter

But considering that videos and photos shot by the public during the Ferguson, Mo protests exposed government wrongdoing and the fact that the press uses social media as a source of news it is not a stretch to suggest that the RCMP were trying to creat e a media blackout also cops pointed guns at journalists not long after the shooting
" Police have locked down Parliment of Ottawa and Ottawa Police tactical officers have arrived pointing guns at journalists and ordering them to the ground" the Globe and Mail's  Josh Wingrove reported. "Journalists were put into lockdown in the foyer of the House of Commona" Also checkpoints have been set up on  Ottawa bridges and now drivers Fe subject to mandatory vehicle searches http://infowars.com/drivers-subject-to-manadtory-vehicle-searches-following...
