Streetcar shooting in Toronto

This is one of the reasons why I don't stop telling all young girls whenever I get a chance to,  to never date or marry  a policeman.  Men in the police force are often prone to violence as much as the lowlives they profess to be against.  Women should be extra wary when they have either a policeman, a lawyer or a doctor in their lives.  Most of those making up these  three "species" have a low regard for other people's lives, especially when they have the upper hand and consider themselves to be demi-gods.

Watch the video and judge for yourself if you think that firing that many shots was justified.  Don't the police carry  taser guns anymore ?   According to the report the guy with the knife was alone in the streetcar ... and it wasn't anything like the Greyhound bus incident. That major scumbag was kept alive and this minor scumbag who didn't  injure anybody on the streetcar  although he brandished a knife while exhibiting himself to passengers before they all fled, was killed.  Justice?



Jonathan Goldsbie writing at NOW:
Police shoot man on Dundas streetcar. Dies after nine shots fired at close range.
The incident began when the man allegedly brandished a knife at fellow passengers aboard a 505 Dundas streetcar. All others on the vehicle, including the operator, fled.
When police arrived, he was still aboard the vehicle, at the front near the driver's seat. Witnesses says that after refusing police orders to drop the weapon, the man took steps toward the officers, who then opened fired.
Jeremy Ing, a passenger on the streetcar who witnessed the events leading up to the shooting, told NOW Magazine: 

I was on a westbound 505 Dundas car, preparing to exit at Grace Street. I had my headphones in, so I was interrupted by the shrill screams of young girls, from the back of the car. And when I turned to see what was goin' on, some guy had stood up from his seat with his dick in his hand and also holding a knife. And then as soon as everybody recognized that, they scurried to the front of the car. It took maybe, like, five seconds or so before the streetcar driver realized what was goin' on and opened the doors up. So everybody flooded out, like disorderly, onto the street. The guy remained on the car with the driver for a while. Eventually, maybe like two minutes later or so, the driver managed to get off and then the cops showed up and they basically swarmed it. And then they told him to drop the knife, like many times. And I guess he didn't comply or whatever, and fired off, I dunno, like eight shots or so....
