2 inch pocket knife. The kid collected them as a hobby.

[itx]

Appears no directly aggression from the knife wielder and they kill the man so much abuse of the force.

maybe when the nut job cut off a dudes head on the bus with a KNIFE, that made them a bit touchy about knives????

[brassmonkey]

sounded like he was making a pencil with all that lead

[stephane76]

9 shots and then they tased him ?

[Shaft_1971]

The knife wasn't the issue...it was the skittles in his pocket.

Not mine but I read it earlier today and makes sense...

"I can tell you exactly why the shot boy was tazered after being filled with bullets.

Tazer guns have a chip in them recording usage. When they were fired, and how long.

When this boy was executed, the other cops surely know that they just witnessed a murder and their fellow thug was going to get in deep trouble, no doubt all of them in trouble for not using non-fatal force.

So the tazer was fired to record in its chip that it was used, and used for a long time. This gives them the ability to say, after the fact, "We attempted to use a tazer on the suspect, in spite of this the suspect continued to resist, and we had to escalate the level of force involved. The officer closest to the suspect feared for his life and had to defend himself using his sidearm as the tazer did not have any result."

What you saw there was an attempt at a coverup. Without the video, there would be no way of proving that the tazer was used after the boy was shot.

Cops stick up for cops first. The law comes second. They tried to protect one of their own from what should be murder charges, and their own butts for not using non-lethal force before the situation "escalated" (which it never did, which is why they never tazed him in the first place)"

are they aliens?? they can see through his clothes??

[MrBottomTooth]

These are canadian police. The reason they have to fire so many rounds is because they usually only hit their target 10% of the time. Seriously though with all their training did they not think to use the tazer first? How can they be so stupid? This is a perfect example of how a tazer could have saved lives... instead they only seem to use them if you refuse to sign your speeding ticket.

maybe lowering standers to allow minority hiring is paying off? just a though... because that's what they do here in the states...

This is why I live in Florida as far away from our violent northern neighbors as possible.

I was going to say allowing 5 foot women to become police was the reason, but unfortunately it didn't look like there were any in this vid. I swear some of them around here must need to sit on phone books to see over the dash.

[PR_Phil]

maybe he should have dropped the knife?

[itx]

Kill a man for just not drop the knife? Maybe he no listen the order for all the noise around?

If they used the tazer first he would have dropped the knife. No reason they couldn't taze him before putting 9 rounds in him. The cops are clearly incompetent.

actually, if they were incompetent, they would have missed wouldn't they have?

not saying they shouldn't have tazed him, but I am pretty sure when 9 police officers are yelling at you telling you to drop your weapon, you are supposed to listen.

I feel safer knowing that guy won't be on the bus with me next week!

Well, I don't think the article says how many bullets struck him. I bet half of them ended up in the stucco of a check cashing place across the street.

Obviously the guy was a menace and needed to be in jail or a psych hospital. I just don't like it when police are so quick to take someone's life when there were obviously other options available. Give the nutjob his day in court.

there is no real info on how many shots fired. all references is 'he had 9 bullet wounds' etc

[Robbie]

Well...at least we know now that the cops here in the U.S. aren't the only ones who shoot their citizens dead (and I doubt any of them will go to jail)

I agree, they are quick to the trigger on the streets of T.O. I'm really not arguing against anyone who says this was excessive force, as it was; I am just saying, drop the knife and you live, guaranteed.

this isn't New York, the only time these cops even get to see violence is when Bieber comes to town. Walk around downtown Toronto in the middle of the night, the worst thing that might happen is a hot chick walks by and doesn't smile at you (and even that is rare).

the only scary place I have ever seen in the entire city is The House of Lancaster.

Toronto cops are pretty bad. There is a history of abuse of power. During the G20 riots they illegally detained and arrested 100's and beat dozens for no reason. Every single cop got off even with video evidence.

[SilentKnight]

Watch the aftermath of the shooting...

[Rochard]

Never bring a knife to a gun fight.

I'm calling out bullshit. This happened in Cananda? I don't see no fucking horses. I thought the Mounties there all rode horses.

In the case of the G20 riots the gloves are off. I feel no sympathy for these SOB's.

LOL If this happened in the USA the dude would have had 50 bullet holes, not just 9.

Since when did Canada have any worthwhile rating to begin with?

the kid called the cop a pussy! that's a death sentence!

[defunk]

I was listening to a toronto talk radio yesterday at work (like always) they had a bunch of ex top cops call in - they said you just block all the doors and wait - then just go in and get him after a while.

John Q Law owns this town bitch.... ffs.
