A Toronto police officer has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Sammy Yatim, the 18-year old shot and killed on a streetcar last month.
What a crock of shit. Should be 1st degree murder.

...the kid had a knife and did not drop it. Plus, if you are going to shoot someone, you make sure they die, you don't want to get sued afterwards.
Never give a cop a reason to shoot you. They will shoot to kill.
^misplaced & tasteless humor, there's a huge difference between an ass-kicking and being shot 9 fucking times. I personally don't see how anyone in their right mind can side with the police officer on this one.
It's tough for most people when they've been so indoctrinated to believe in authority, obedience, costumes and badges. It takes a serious process of self-transformation to see past those silly things.
I'm seeing a human being threating other humans with a knife. The others happen to have guns.
I'm not sure about you, but if someone charges at me with a knife and I have a gun and gave them a warning, they are dead.
Shooting someone once or 15 times is also irrelevant, you shot until the the threat is over.

I'm not sure about you, but if someone charges at me with a knife and I have a gun and gave them a warning, they are dead. If you are such a kind and wonderful human being as to disregard your own safety, well good for you. But I'm not. Nor do I expect others to be. This is regardless of who is who (old lady, young kid, police, fire-worker, politician, etc... all that is irrelevant)
You talk about being able to see past labels; yet I'm sure if the guy doing the shooting was an ordinary person (especially some little old libertarian lady) and not a police officer, you would be on the side of the ordinary person.
Shooting someone once or 15 times is also irrelevant, you shot until the the threat is over. Someone can slash you easily if they are shot and you approach them (especially if they are mentally fucked up) Sure, the person shot once MIGHT not attack you with the knife when you approach, but they might attack you.
Did you watch the video? The police officers are at least 10 feet+ from the bus, the kid was not charging anyone.
The cop was just being a pig, something many of them do great.
I'm guessing you are going to use your gun. And if you shoot once to just injure, you are retarded. Not only will you get sued, but the guy with the knife can still do you damage when injured. Guns have a purpose, to kill.
The cop was charged with 2nd degree murder bro, did you miss that part? Pretty sure the pig would rather go back in time, shoot the kid in both legs, perhaps get sued and cough up a couple grand, but he would've most likely won his case in court as as he simply neutralized the kid without having to take his life.
Self-defense is the most important fundamental human right. I personally consider it a moral obligation. If you care about yourself or have people that you love in this world, you can't rely on anybody else to protect you or your loved ones for you. That responsibility falls on every individual.
This time the bullet cold rocked ya
A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika
Nothin' proper about ya propaganda
Fools follow rules when the set commands ya
Said it was blue
When ya blood was read
That's how ya got a bullet blasted through ya head
Blasted through ya head
Blasted through ya head
I give a shout out to the living dead
Who stood and watched as the feds cold centralized
So serene on the screen
You were mesmerised
Cellular phones soundin' a death tone
Corporations cold
Turn ya to stone before ya realise
They load the clip in omnicolour
Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time
Sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And mutha fuckas lost their minds
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Run it!
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Checka, checka, check it out
They load the clip in omnicolour
Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time
Sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And mutha fuckas lost their minds
No escape from the mass mind rape
Play it again jack and then rewind the tape
And then play it again and again and again
Until ya mind is locked in
Believin' all the lies that they're tellin' ya
Buyin' all the products that they're sellin' ya
They say jump and ya say how high
Ya brain-dead
Ya gotta fuckin' bullet in ya head
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Uggh! Yeah! Yea!
Ya standin' in line
Believin' the lies
Ya bowin' down to the flag
Ya gotta bullet in ya head
Ya standin' in line
Believin' the lies
Ya bowin' down to the flag
Ya gotta bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head!
A bullet in ya head!
A bullet in ya head!
A bullet in ya head!
A bullet in ya head!
A bullet in ya head!
A bullet in ya head!
Ya gotta bullet in ya fuckin' head!
