That person standing on the counter needs to step the fuck down. Protest or not
OldSaintDickolas
And not a single fuck was given
CrazyCanuck150
The part that pisses me off is they only went there to try and piss off the cops to get a reaction, kudos on the cops for not biting.

As much as I'd preferred one of them getting hurt this is a much better approach. 'if you can take a seat I'll get right with you.' 1
TrueMajin
Let's not forget they disrupted the Toronto Gay Pride Parade because they wanted cops kicked out. They're priorities need to be reconsidered

All this playing the victim that everyone's been doing can't be good for the evolution of a strong and resilient human race in the future.

it would be like feeding a troll to give them a reaction, they feed off reactions and compare it to injustice and claim racism.

Canada doesn't have the same blood soaked history of the United States when it come to slavery, I'm surprised BLM even exists over there

Congratulations, you played yourself. Being a nuisance and no one pays any attention.

Outstanding warrants and showing resistance towards an officer are good signs there is something amiss. A knife loses

Exactly Right

Do you have to get a black degree for that, or is more like a skilled trade?
nasreal
This is the best possible reaction. Nobody got hurt and the police just let them make themselves look foolish.
BlackDragoness
Stay cool, Canada.
coffeemadness
Also, note the media entourage. I'm sure it was the highlight of the evening news, even though no one in the police station cared.
coffeemadness
They also didn't obstruct anything, so the police could continue their job.
UbberUgly
You have every right to protest, but please get off the counter, we're adults.
MissMinnesota
Thank you!

I mean I know it would play into their narrative, but I hella wanted that cop to grab his ankles and yank.

Im for protests but is mass protesting a police station reasonable? Policeman on phone cant work, might be important.
whyistheusernamealwaysgone
I would say protest outside and away from the garage door. Don't interrupt possibly very important calls and responses
disgruntledcitizen
Yeah, once he starts standing on the counter is his then obstructing police business.... Plus.. Super douche move..

I think he/she was calling counter boy a kid in an adult body

That is correct sir/ma'am.

If that girl standing on the counter had been tazed repeatedly for around an hour I'd be happy
LieselSkywalker
Nah. The ignoring hurt her more, believe me.
beerire
That's what she was aiming for. They did well to ignore her stupid ass.
DavidBrooker
After a very controversial fatal tazing at YVR by the RCMP a few years ago, police in Canada are much slower to elevate to even that.
IronjawReinhardt
The police officer should have started polishing the counter behind her as she walked along.
catsonmeth
How dignified of you.

Send her to America and it'll be done.

Hell yeah!
Vectorman2
Yeah lets...lets not do that, being 'tazed' would probably be the least of her concerns

I don't think acting like a fucking clown in a police station and disrupting the work being done there helps their cause or whatever
SgtChowdown
No matter how they protest, Imgur hates them and thinks they're a hate group, despite the ADL marking White Lives Matter as the real hate.
Mastahkeef
To play the devil's advocate, that's kind of the point of a protest. Quietly protesting and not disturbing anyone anywhere isn't a protest.
Mastahkeef
It does seem weird they waited two years to do it though
SgtChowdown
Nothing BLM does will ever please Imgur. They're black. Even when BLM had a peaceful march for the Dallas PD, Imgur was mad
odraencoded
BLM protests for attention not for change so obviously it makes everyone mad. Nobody ever said "black lives don't matter," they assumed it.
SgtChowdown
No they didn't. They observed the fact that black lives are valued less. And if you think it's fake and we're all singin kumbaya...

Also protest is for attention to get change. You sound like you came into the baseball game with only half a bat, dude. Get learned

Thousands of nice, quiet protests get ignored by the media and public every year. You wanna get your cause noticed, you gotta make noise.
merekson
Does this include rioting, looting, and screaming racial slurs as well?
Donvah
While I agree being nice would have possibly changed some of the outcomes. There is still an issue with police brutality. Not major not tiny

no just not major.
raidleadergutts
Keep telling yourself that lie & living in that childish fantasy world where all cops are heroes & saints.
Donvah
People in authority abusing power is always an issue. Not a tiny one despite only being done by few officers.

so you decide that because its happens sometimes, in very different locations by very different officers, its a huge problem? 1/2

A lot of these instances involve reacting to violence, but a lot don't, & the issue is the impunity cops have to execute whoever they please

No no, you can't say that! That obviously never ever happens & if you show evidence to the contrary you must be a criminal! - cop apologists

highly depends on the person resisting arrest, you do get that factors are part of this? its not litterally the colour of skin.

That's the reaction they want because it legitmises their bullshit. Their lack of acknowledgement just makes BLM look like idiots.

There is zero reason for BLM to be in Canada and the girl running it a wacko. The underground railroad ended in Canada for a reason.

Is this the same group that got a parade about police and gays settling differences stopped because "there weren't enough black folks?"
DrKriegersClone
Yes. And one of the chapter heads tweeted a prayer to Allah for the strength to refrain from killing men and whites.
Jo2thenah
Yes, at a Pride parade in Toronto. They wanted to ban police floats and for Pride to hire more black trans, queer, indigenous ppl
DavidBrooker
For accuracy: BLM objected to the Toronto Police Service having their own float in the Toronto Pride Parade. BLM were chosen as honored 1/2

How is stabbing a man to death manslaughter? In the US manslaughter is more of an accidental death caused by your actions.

The deceased is not being charged with manslaughter. The cop was.

The deceased had stabbed a man to death a few years earlier and assaulted two women a few months prior to him getting shot. I meant him

There were never any charges filed against the officer who shot him.

If you want something official though you could read the coroner's inquest, & about the iffy circumstances with the knife found at the scene

The police meanwhile wear a magic amulet that removes their ability to lie? Everyone has an agenda, doesn't mean you dismiss them outright.

I wouldn't get information from them either... maybe... the local news in that area would be a good place to start?

Exactly the contrary, as a matter of fact. The only criminals that people side with are the ones that actors play. Like Nicolas Cage.

What about Hillary Clinton? Or does she count as an actor?

Maybe I didn't word this correctly, but I'm siding with the guy I replied to, you twats. Or maybe I'm somehow wrong, enlighten me.

Except that armed white men are routinely taken down using techniques that do not end their lives. (Source in comment 2).

To do otherwise would endanger the police and everyone around the situation. No cop will endanger themselves vs an armed person.

Rarlely. RCMP and other Canadian forces will regularly shoot to kill if you're armed, whether with a gun or a bike chain. 1/2

Your source is trash. I can't even close the fucking ads on mobile.
mallywanders
Thanks for your warning! People need to learn that a source that's more ad than source is not a source.
ohnoofcourseyourright
Most of the situations are like this.
potatoesmakemeveryhappy
I looked it up myself. You're right. Honestly, I'm not surprised at all. BLM was started because of a case exactly like that one.

The officer "found" the knife after he was shot. But as long as we on imgur can talk about how terrible black people are, it's all good!

Your facts end where their feelings begin. If it's not supporting their narrative, they don't care about that evidence.

We need more people like you.

This describes an insane amount of people. Imgur doesn't allow enough characters to name them all but Holy Shit they're everywhere.
NobodyWantsToBeMrPink
Yup

Which is why they don't care about cleaning up their own neighbourhoods before telling us to clean up ours.

Former cop here. This. This so much. Constantly makes me frustrated to watch the movement bait for controversy.
raidleadergutts
Yep, and they're getting dumber by the day because of a lack of leadership. It's not like there's a shortage of criminal cops to protest.
swaptrick
"Protest" a.k.a. baiting a violent response so you can get it on MSNBC and get some money in civil litigation.
hardytardigrade
So you are saying that people hearing "drop the knife" means it's a proven fact that this shooting was justified? Or do you not care?
Dondarian
That's what's called "testimony", and with enough of those, it holds up in court. So yes.
JohannesFit
If he was holding a weapon, was told to drop it, and didn't, I'd say the shooting was justified
IamPyres
i agree 100%
SloppyJimbo
If is an issue here. Witnesses hearing doesn't mean all that much if he was unarmed. Idk how I feel about this. Just wish no one died.
JohannesFit
Most cops will tell you to drop a weapon if they see you have one, so it's pretty safe to assume that. You should drop it anyway w/ cops
hardytardigrade
I'm not sure about Canada, but that's not how the law is supposed to work in the USA. Noncompliance doesn't justify lethal force.
senorsamuel
Are you retarded? You must live in a cozy little cot somewhere up in Maine. In the real world, where we live in, people tend to kill one 1/2
JohannesFit
Yes it does???? Especially when they're holding a fucking weapon. WHY NOT JUST DROP THE WEAPON?
IllCaesar
Ftr, that doesn't mean he had a knife, it means the police officer said "drop the knife." If witnesses saw the knife that'd be different.
leeloumultipass
Yeeeaaahhh dude was also convicted of manslaughter in the past. Imma go with the multiple witnesses and cop on this one.
IllCaesar
Cops have abused this in the past and further the witnesses aren't witnesses to the knife, they're witnesses to the officer saying "knife."
leeloumultipass
If the dude was innocent, non-violent member of society, fine, I'll see your point. This guy was convicted of manslaughter, had drugs in 1/?
leeloumultipass
... in his system, assaulted his gf, then assaulted the paramedics and cops who came to her rescue. He's a violent, drug-using thug. 2/?
catsonmeth
That doesn't sound like a reason to use deadly force.
InvadingYourSpaces
A man with a knife within 20ft of you is just as dangerous as a man with a gun.
Nomulus
I dunno, if you've got a gun then they're far enough that a running start is going to get stopped by a shot.

Depends if the gun is holstered at the start.
TheSnoConeGuy
Someone above also stated that a source said he was high on drugs. That's a hell of a chance.
