So BS involving guns happens in Canada, too.
This for me is another case of excessive, un-necessary force, similar to the Trayvon Martin case here in the States. It's like this: the guy pulled a pocketknife, made everyone leave the streetcar he was on, and somewhere in between everything else, he exposed himself. Is it worthy of an arrest? Absolutely. Is it worthy of being shot 9 FRICKING TIMES? No way. I don't think they should have even fired once, to be honest. When the cops showed up, the guy stayed on the streetcar. He didn't even move toward the cops, as proven by the video. They probably could have moved in and arrested him just like that. Sure, in that case he might have attacked them, but THEN they could have fired and it would have been okay. The cops responsible should potentially face 2nd degree murder charges, in my opinion.
The kid was given ample opportunity to comply with orders to " drop the knife " and didn't comply.
At what point do the Monday morning quarterbacks on here expect the cops to walk away and let him attack somebody ?
What I take away from this situation is ....... If a Toronto cop tells you to drop the knife and surrender, do it.
I ;m waiting to see what this 18 year olds blood alcohol level was at the time. Or his drug screen results.

I beg to differ with your prejudicial view implying that to have an off day a person must be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
If that prejudice had been investigated in the Zimmerman case, Zimmie would have been convicted as a matter of drug use as proof. Zimmie was a licensed meth freak (medical methamphetamine).
The cops? Who the hell knows what they are on.

Only the detrimental news I watch which indicates Toronto is a cesspool worse than Chicago's old skid row. Must be because the place is run by conservatives that don't care about the poor in their city.
21 people wounded by gun fire in 1 incident! You don't get that in Brazil or Guatemala.
The gang-banger pictures looks like a cultural export from the USofA though. The U.S. has exported U.S. born gangs to Latin America, Spain, and Northern Europe.
Crazy thing is the L.A. birthed Crips were exported to the small nation of Belize and from Belize the immigrants brought the Crips to New York City.
Young blacks emulating Black-Americans they see in movies and on TV from California are murdering each other in the lily white Neatherlands.

Well . . .? Hitler used to put HIS death squads on military methamphetamine.

What's the big deal!
Although ADHD is generally thought of as a problem in children, teenagers and adults can also have ADHD. While methamphetamine has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating ADHD in adults, healthcare providers may prescribe it "off-label" for adults with ADHD.
And, I don't mean that with any cunning linguas limitation.
