It appears the Toronto police force has a brewing PR nightmare on their hands resulting from the controversial death of an 18 yr old kid. police from 31 division were trying to pull over a vehicle near York university, when the vehicle stopped and the occupants bolted from the car. Officers caught up with the pair, ...and before all was said and done, one of them ended up dead. the police claim he died of cardiac arrest due to the vigourous footchase, however, the other occupant of the car claims the police beat his companion to death. When the family saw the coroners report, it appears their son was in a neckbrace, and his face was black & blue... all consistent with a severe beating. Today protestors took to the streets chanting "No Justice, No Peace!" This is not looking good.
Probably shouldn't have ran off.
I'm not a genius, but I don't imagine I'd be thinking: Running from police = end well for me when caught.
Maybe we should make signs in elementary school:
running from the police when they pull you over = usually bad idea
Then we wouldn't have to deal with situations like this. Open up the newspaper....headline reads "Kid dead, ran from police"
Instead of marching, everyone would shake their head at the article and say..."Didn't they see the damned sign in school? Running from police = bad idea. Maybe I should petition the school board to have the signs be written in brighter colors."
