Police Brutality In Toronto: Shoot and kill Defenseless 20 Year Old 9 Times

[Brooks]

they use tasers against old ladies but when tasers are really called for they shoot someone 9 times. i grew up thinking cops were the good guys. my retired cop buddy said the new crew in the 90's were heavy in steroids. not stating as fact but thats what he said. the kid wanted to die no doubt about that tho

[Ghenghis Kahn]

seeweed, let say your granny was in that street car and the kid stabbed her to death.

would the killing be justified?

you know that bus wasn't empty initially.

yeah the whole thing was a bit excessive but better him than anyone else...

[Ghenghis Kahn]

Yeah because the frontal cortex of the brain that's responsible for decision making is fully developed at the age of 18, not....

c'mon pal, i'm against police brutality but some nuts need to just get blasted.

this nut was exposing his balls while he was walking around with a knife.

He actually ordered everyone off. He didn't want to hurt anyone, he had a breakdown

[Ghenghis Kahn]

seeweed, since you are too fukking lazy to read the article i've posted.

here are some witness testimonials...

don't be a knucklehead kid.

wake up and smell your granny's dentures.



"When Doyle saw Yatim, the knife was in his right hand and his left held his exposed genitals."

"“To be honest, the first thing that crossed my mind, based on him holding a knife and his penis, was that he wasn’t mentally stable,” said Doyle."

"Doyle was terrified. She made herself as small as possible in her streetcar seat until Yatim passed. Then she escaped safely through the streetcar’s open back doors."

"Li-Hill first heard giggling from the back of the streetcar as it was moving along Dundas St., near Bathurst St. Then he heard a scream."

"“It wasn’t a normal yell — I could hear terror,” he said."

"He saw the flash of a knife and the girls ran past him toward the front doors. Li-Hill raised his bike as a barricade, keeping all of the passengers behind him. Li-Hill said he did not see if Yatim had exposed himself, but his eyes were focused on the man’s knife and face."

"Yatim told everyone to remain on the streetcar as he was advancing, said Li-Hill. The driver stopped the vehicle and Li-Hill slowly moved backward, locking eyes with Yatim."

"“He looked very crazed, very intense. His eyes were completely wide open — his jaw was clenched, his fist was clenched around the handle of the knife,” he said. Li-Hill said Yatim advanced slowly, holding the knife, with a blade of about three inches, outstretched in front of him."

"As people exited the streetcar, Yatim revised his earlier command and told everyone to get off, said Li-Hill."

No fukkin way you guys believe that shit. If you do, you are the idiot. I understand it is easier to live in a world where the pigs are good guys but you are lost. PUSSY ass cops afraid of a dude with a knife. Get the fukk outta here. What kind of cop doesn't know how to deal with a dude with a knife? Especially when they got him totally surrounded and outnumbered. The very fact that I am debating this shows how far we have gone down the wrong path.

He was calling them pussies OH NOOOO!!!! Whatever you do don't test the police, they will fukkin shoot you 9 times then tase your corpse. Going against the police, the soldiers of the power structure, will get you killed, abused, jailed, and labeled a crazy.

Seemingly reasonable people will be debating whether we shoulda KILLED you or not. Or if the KILLING was just, 9 times outta 10 it isn't. ...they got you fukks right where they want you.

WAKE THE FUKK UP

[ACoochy]

c'mon pal, i'm against police brutality but some nuts need to just get blasted.

this nut was exposing his balls while he was walking around with a knife.

Are you for real??

So ur saying that if someone spiked your drink one night and you did something similar to this then your cool with the cops blowing you away??

Thats awesome and speaks volumes about what you think of your own life...

The term 'traitor' comes to mind for not only the lack of freedoms you seemingly desire for but that the fact your cool with this happening to members within your community.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

do you go out and drink by yourself often acoochy?

i don't know about you but when i go out for drinks and someone happens to spike my drink, there are people looking out for me.

are you implying that this kid went out for a stroll and someone spiked his drink?

c'mon pal, you are more logical than you portray yourself to be.

so if this kid killed the driver or some patrons, would the killing be justified?

how many nuts have you ran into in your life?

[OnkelChris]

looks like the canadian mounties need a lesson in police brutality.

this is how it's done.... shoot em in the back while in handcuffs.

Wow, that's sad. Does anyone know what happened to the murderer of the kid? I pray he is not being allowed to do his job any longer. Definitley not qualified.

[Let's Go Rangers]

They may have done the kid a favor,
He was probably a Maple Leafs fan

[Let's Go Rangers]

I am going to predict this kid was on bath salts

answering a question with a question.

Typical response for those that have no ammo because they're intellectually unable to justify their position.

Khanny your better than this. Come back when you have something better than a 30mph meatball to hit...

So fukkin weak...turn off the news and use your brain

c'mon pal, YOU are better than this.

since you are emotionally charged and seem to take this matter personally, let's put a fork in the matter.

you won't listen to what i have to say and vice a versa...

[Kermit]

You know what all of those videos have in common? The people that were killed put themselves into their positions.

[Crystos]

Fukk the police

[MUHerd37]

Fukk the kid. If he would have dropped the knife like he was told he would still be alive.

[Crystos]

sigh...the world I live in

[irish1]

those cops in the bus situation should all be prosecuted for manslaughter. Rubber bullets or taser should have been used. Any one of those cops whose weapon was fired should be on trial.

[sploofdogg]

WTF ya'll talking about all cops are p*ssies.

[sploofdogg]

My uncle is only real cop I know who isn't a insecure p*ssy, and he got demoted to riding a horse all day in a park. Big Brother is always watching and always in control.

[Crystos]

Big Brother is always watching and always in control.

Always watching...true

Always in control...mwahahahahahahahhaaaaaa, they fukkin wish

[ArchieBunker]

20 year old kid shot 9 times on an empty streetcar at night just for holding a small knife?

9 times?? 10 cops vs 1 kid with no negotiation??

http://www.cp24.com/news/protesters-condemn-actions-of-police-in-deadly-shooting-1.1388143

Cop was purging the Leaf's fan base Ottawa Senators are Ontario's team

[NYSportsGuy210]

I find it amazing that after 5 shots were let off the kid apparently still "held on to the knife". I believe that is why the police shot him even more.

I find it amazing that we have access to videos like this and most people still argue the side of the pigs

I bet that if your home was being robbed while you were in it, you would pray that the "Pigs" would show up.

Nice try, buddy. In fact, I hope they don't show up at all.

Need someone to protect you lil kermit? Bet that someone on your block will do it...I would. Thats how we roll here in America

[Kermit]

Do you realize what kind of chaos we would have in this country if not for an organized Police force? I know there are bad cops out there, but to condemn everyone of them is just silly.

WAKE THE FUKK UP

Don't fukk with ppl working at fast food restaurants. They will spit in your burgers and tacos. Not worth it.

Stop for pedestrians. Look both ways before crossing the street. Dont be stupid...now you're paralyze or dead. Not worth it.

Don't fukk with the cops...shit gets real. Not worth it

[Jayvegas420]

I love the posters who automatically change the story.

"What if he was robbing someone?"
"What if he killed seaer's Ganny?"


"What if he had JJ at gunpoint?" (We'd all open fire!)
Doesn't matter, he wasn't doing any of those things so, why create your own hypothetical to suit your POV?

He wasn't wearing a hoodie or eating Skittles either.

He wasn't black (we don't have any blacks in Canada)

Just call it what it was.
We are all watching the same video we just see it through predjudicial eyes.

smoke a fat bowl, go get a knife, and expose your dick to a cop tonight for your sake.

[Cuse0323]

Cops shouldn't have blasted the kid but kid should have just put down the knife and went on to jail. No winners in these situations, the moment he refuses the order and walks towards the police they can do what they did regardless if there may have been a better solution.

[Fidel_CashFlow]

cant help but to feel sorry for the kid as I watched the video.
Cuse is correct. Nobody wins. Hopefully by people watching this
they will realize just how ready the cops are to use lethal force against you if slightly applicable whatsoever.
In training cops are taught to shoot at "center mass" for one reason only. They intend to kill when they fire.
Widest area to hit along with many vital killshots is center mass region of a body.
I bet that in a lot of these standoffs that turn deadly ... the person who is taunting the cops
do not realize exactly how dangerous of a situation THEY themselves are in at the moment.
