@neufeld_mark Calgary Police Association president John Orr says it was a cowardly act that claimed Sgt. Harnett's life.
@neufeld_mark Chief Neufeld says they don't believe it is possible the driver didn't know they had hit Sgt. Harnett. As a supervisor he would have been working alone but other officers were nearby.
@neufeld_mark Chief Neufeld says investigators got additional authorization to release the name of the 17-yr-old suspect. Names of youth are normally not released relating to crime.
@neufeld_mark Chief Neufeld says, "I'm pissed off, it's totally senseless," on the death of Sgt. Harnett.

@neufeld_mark Chief Neufeld says Harnett was a highly decorated member of the armed forces, and was a highly decorated police officer. Earned two chief's awards for saving lives.
@neufeld_mark The traffic stop was initiated because the licence plate on the vehicle didn't match.

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹

I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):


The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹


Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹


References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
