Tasers can still kill people, part of the reason why only Sergeants are issued Tasers is because of previous clusterfucks committed by the RCMP.
Man with knife on streetcar at Dundas and Grace, shot by police
- Thread starter Shrugged
- Start date
Pretty good analysis, but it just reinforces the notion that the cop didn't try to diffuse the situation at all except challenge the guy who clearly isn't thinking straight. (Maybe he should've said - hey, cool Blue Jay cap. So you're a fan? etc etc)Sounds like all the cops had no clue what to do

They didn't try to talk to him and keep him at bay. They fucked up IMHO. This wasn't a case of a guy charging cops and swinging with his blade. In 1.5 seconds, the cop can unload 3 bullets.There really wasn't as much room as apologists like to believe. A knife wielding attacker can close distance of 21 feet in as fast as 1.5 seconds.
On how many shots, sure I'd agree. On whether or not to shoot, not convinced.The video footage and audio recording is pretty damning evidence against the officer...

This is how proper cops who are not yellow bellied cowards do their jobs like professionals.Yes, he was tasered as he tried to escape.
"On July 31, 2008, at 1:30 a.m., the suspect attempted to escape from the bus by breaking through a window. The RCMP arrested Li soon afterward. He was shot with a Taser twice, handcuffed and placed in the back of a police cruiser. Parts of the victim's body, placed in plastic bags, were retrieved from the bus, while his ear, nose and tongue were found in Li's pockets. The victim's eyes and a part of his heart were never recovered and are presumed to have been eaten by Li."
This guy was scarier than the kid and yet the cops handled the situation effectively without danger to themselves or other passengers nearby.
I think he is devastated that all the video evidence available will prevent him from hiding the truth and show the world that he killed that kid in cold blood.I don't get how the cop (Const. James Forcillo) is "devastated". He shot the kid 9 times from 10 feet away plus followed up with a taser. What did he think the outcome would be. The kid just needing a bandaid?

So what, they are far less likely to kill then hollow point 9mm rounds no?
It'll be funny when you get beat up by a retard on a TTC streetcar and the cops taser you instead ... :eyebrows:Retard.
Most police officers never shoot and kill a perp in their careers.I don't get how the cop (Const. James Forcillo) is "devastated". He shot the kid 9 times from 10 feet away plus followed up with a taser. What did he think the outcome would be. The kid just needing a bandaid?
So, in other words, perp still had the knife and was still a danger. Bang. Bang. Bang.Hummer. He was yelling or screaming AFTER the 3 shots too. Either the victim was still clutching the knife somehow or tried to get up a tad, or the police officer was traumatized by his own action and freaking out.
Immediate? 4 seconds to dash and slash is all it takes, covering a lot of ground. As I said earlier, there has only been a very grainy 'short' video, no context or coverage leading up to end. I always thought the skin of the new streetcars was basically aluminium, could be wrong.True enough, but there was no immediate danger ,
If the cop felt too close ,he could have backed off a little with plenty of time to shot if the kid charged at him.
Can you do us all a favour and put all your knives away?It'll be funny when you get beat up by a retard on a TTC streetcar and the cops taser you instead ... :eyebrows:
This video shows absolute and utter incompetence. A total lack of professionalism.Pretty good analysis, but it just reinforces the notion that the cop didn't try to diffuse the situation at all except challenge the guy who clearly isn't thinking straight.

Do Toronto cops use hollow point bullets? The good is that they don't ricochet, the bad(?) is that they do incredible damage to a human body.So what, they are far less likely to kill then hollow point 9mm rounds no?

Recent reports claim he exposed himself on the s/c, always was always armed with a knife and was a martial art s practitioner.

Yup, a sweet kid.
I believe only George Zimmerman uses hollow point bullets to "observe" over his neighborhood.Do Toronto cops use hollow point bullets? The good is that they don't ricochet, the bad(?) is that they do incredible damage to a human body.
Yes they do, firstly to take down the perp and secondly so the rounds are less likely to exit the body and injure others.Do Toronto cops use hollow point bullets? The good is that they don't ricochet, the bad(?) is that they do incredible damage to a human body.
So what, still no reason to execute the kid in public. Maybe he was mentally ill. You frequent escorts, some people would consider you even worse then him. It never fails to amaze me that people are on this board and in this hobby and can be so judgemental on misbehavior by other.Recent reports claim he exposed himself on the s/c, always was always armed with a knife and was a martial art s practitioner.

From Sammy Yatin's point of view that doesn't seem reassuring.Think I will state again that this was ONE cop. The rest did NOT fire.
