LOL ... I have no idea where that came from. Sometimes I fear senility starts like that ...Except for what?

I find it highly unlikely SIU would bring him up on any murder charges.
You can't blame the cop who was there just trying to his job
According to some people here, the officer is a sadistic murderer
According to the SIU, the officer is a murderer.
Well said. The high ratio of guilty verdicts in the USA (IIRC, more than 95% of cases result in guilty verdicts) is due to the plea bargain process, where you're pressured (in many cases by your own lawyer) to plead guilty to something in order to avoid a trial where the full sentence may be massive (in part due to mandatory minimums).For the judicial system to be truly fair, the chance of conviction in a case should not be "slim to none". Not sure what is so hard to understand about this.
At the trial, they will have to find 12 (plus alternates) impartial jurors who have not heard, read, or have an hard option on this case. If you were in the marches, count yourself out.
With second degree murder? Only one other Toronto police officer has ever been charged with second degree according to the CBC. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toron...o-yatim-shooting-officer-surrender-court.htmlOut of curiosity, how many have actually been charged?

cops aren't convicted because juries don't convict them.
So your basically saying it's okay to murder someone who is mentally ill?All this is the fault of a sick f*ck named Sammy...and don't forget that.

If the accused murderer had done his job, rather than putting 9 bullets into a mentally ill person who wasn't an imminent threat, then we wouldn't be here. Putting all the blame on the person who was murdered, rather than the accused murderer ignores that Forcillo made a huge error.
My opinion from day one is this looked like a bad shooting, and should be treated as a murder. It appears now that both the SUI and the Crown agree with me.And yet again you make it painfully obvious why your opinion is laughable.
All this is the fault of a sick f*ck named Sammy...and don't forget that. The only silver lining to this mess is that no innocent people were harmed/killed in the process.

I'm curious as to why you are so eager to whitewash what is now being treated by the authorities as a homicide.
The exact amount of people who were in danger at that point was exactly zero.
Points you challenged? You went on about all these things that haven't been proven. Not sure your point, nothing has been proven. However you've been ridiculing anyone who suggests that this looks wrong, and that it's possible that this was murder. And yet both the SIU and the crown also believe it was possibly murder.I noticed you chose to ignore the 6 points of yours I challenged.
Ah, dodge the question on a technicality. I'm curious as to why you are so eager to whitewash what is now being treated by the authorities as murder.It has never been disputed that a homicide took place.
In danger at that point. It's pretty clear that people could be in danger at a later point, if he tried to exit the streetcar. With the number of officers surrounding the front door of the streetcar, with guns pointed at him, he would clearly have been shot if he tried to exit the streetcar holding a knife.Since you are obviously oblivious as to what constitutes "danger", I wonder how you can be so sure of yourself. But ask yourself one simple question....why would multiple police officers have their weapons drawn and pointed at someone if they were not considered dangerous?

From what I can tell
