Honestly glad Toronto police is more viligant on pulling trigger. Fuck this guy and let him rot in the depths of hell.
I'm so fucking PISSED. Fuck these motherfuckers. Stay safe Toronto, so upsetting it's happening here now..

So many kudos to those cops for not knee-jerking and possibly killing him.
Guy doesn't deserve to get off so easy.

I would hope that TPS have learned their lessons from Sammy Yatim. But yes, I am thankful that I live in a country where I don't have to worry about every other person carrying a gun and that the police are reasonably being held accountable for their actions.
Guy steps out of a van holding a cell phone, there's the worry that he could be attempting to detonate a bomb.
Yes, that's what I was getting at. Obviously no one wants to take away your "freedom". However, no one should be required to drive a car to get anywhere.
It's amazing composure. These guys (if it's one of these guys) usually make sure they get martyred. Now he can whine about prison being not nice.
Jesus. RIP. :(
Whatever happens to him in prison will be too good for him.
Yep.
He will surely have a long time to think about whether what he did was worth it, or whether he achieved anything.
This might sound insensitive, but I wish the Canadian prisons weren't so nice, especially for people like this.
a TO cop got charged for shooting a disturbed young man wielding a knife on a bus.
They are still regaling from that case
Canadian prisons aren't nice. They're not the cluster fuck that is the US prison system. But they're not nice.
We shouldn't allow our governments to start treating people in prison a certain way. Keep them away from the public but we shouldn't go down a slippery slope like this. Or we're going to have a bigger issue where these not so nice methods will be used on people that don't deserve it.
This is terrible, just a senseless loss of life.
Credit to the Toronto police for capturing the suspect alive.

Any examples, I always assumed they were some of the nicest prisons in the world.
Edit: feel free to ignore this, I know its getting off topic.
Chief Deputy US Marshall (Retired), CNN: "We could have engaged them with gunfire long time before that"
JFC, this right here explains the problem in the police training in the US

They've recently closed it, but this is an example of the kind of prison infrastructure we have.
As I don't have CNN, what is that in response to?
edit: I mean the specific question that garnered that response
Just saw some guy on CNN say how surprised he is that the officer didn't fire a single shot. Big difference between US and Canadian law enforcement here I guess.
Ditto
I'm not surprised but I'm still slightly taken back.
I do find all the talk on the police taking him down alive a little surprising. Our police have always been held to a high standard, they don't just blow people away in a public street in broad daylight. They did the job like the professionals they are, I agree they did a good job but I would expect nothing less.
It was a response to the video at street level from the car where it shows the guy drawing his phone multiple times and pointing at TPS.

honestly they should have shot him dead. he doesnt deserve to live, even prison life is too good for him. the people he mowed down dont have any possibilities so why should he?
Yep, the officer could have even fired thinking his phone was a gone. I mean US Police just lit up a black man in the yard and all you hear is panic and one yell "GUN" without confirming if it was an actual weapon. Hope the gap widens between Canadian and USA police
thread got weird complaining about Canadian prisons being "too nice"
Canadian prisons are rough, not as rough as the US but still rough. If you are not affiliated with a gang, life in prison is hell on Earth

Because we live in a country where the law will dictate what happens to him, there is no room for vengeance or revenge, the minute we give that up we sacrifice much more
I don't like the idea of our justice system being based on vengeance or retribution.
There was that incident with the mentally ill kid in the streetcar who was wielding a knife. He was isolated, alone in the streetcar, and was still gunned down.
Nowhere close to the American rate, but it still happens from time to time.

Nah.
Throw this guy in the right prison surrounded by the right people, make sure they're well aware why he's there, and he'll enjoy a few years of abuse that will be much worse for him.
Right? Craziness. Better to get people like this alive.
Seriously, of all the times to have a Canada v US chip on a shoulder
Both the former US Marshall and the former FBI agent were literally "amazed" that TPS showed restraint. Pretty disgusting.
he may have accomplices and/or enablers.
keeping him alive allows the cops to uncover more accomplices if any.
If he was radicalized by an other, than that needs to be investigated as well.
Yeh, that's on me, I just hope he doesn't have it easy in prison.
He wanted suicide by cop, pointing his phone like it's a gun, pointing it multiple times and even saying "I got a gun".
Brave police officer, honestly.

I THINK he held out his phone multiple times and tried to point it like a gun
