    Sad to say, its happening all over the world now...
    Police are a cult of their own now...so very sad.

    I Read The Article, Then The Replies, Like Everything There

    Are Two Sides To The Story, But My Personal Opinion Is That The Cop

    Has A Lot To Answer For, Hopefully Justice Will Prevail...:).

    What the? 1/2 dozen cops, one guy with a knife on a empty tram.

    He didnt run at them, puzzled as to why he needed to shoot at all.

    Then keeps shooting him when he's on the ground.

    Then 20 cops, then he gets tazered???

    Shot six times after he'd fallen, gee golly gosh, why would anyone jump to conclusions


    This one has a better angle

    At least Canada knows how to prosecute criminals.

    Looks like there is indeed cause to charge Forcillo with murder.

    Wonder what sort of reaction there would have been if there hadn't been a youtube video seen by a million people.

    The article largely seems to paint a glowing picture of Yatim, but he's on a bus with a knife. No real explanation of that. Then the smiling pictures, and the claim by a friend that "The shooting cut short the teenager's opportunity to live the Canadian dream". Is the Canadian dream to hijack a bus with a knife?

    It seems that Yatim could have been subdued without lethal force, and the charge of murder is justified. Cops need to have a lot more self-control than they do. The picture painted of Yatim appears to be a bit too rosy, however.

    I imagine so, but the way you said it, and with the pictures on his fb page, it sounded like it was a euphemism for being a gangsta wannabe.

    Expect the usual straw man remarks from the apologists.


    "It was a 'throwing knife'. He might have thrown it at the police."

    "The person should have listened and done everything the cop said."

    "Where was the cop supposed to arrest him? From across the street?"

    "Don't worry. The cop will be back on duty after the internal investigation.

    "The cop went home safe to his family, which justifies everything."
