doesnt matter, its for the cops safety. They shoulda tranq'd gun or something tho, maybe one of those beanbag guns, but i dont think toronto poilce have high resources lol.
Would of been fucking shitty if you are a cop and are expected to go wrestle some fucking crazy kid to the ground when hes holding a knife. Not worht the risk...
they shouldnt have tried to kill the kid though, but still something like this would go un-noticed in the states.
You dont have to go wrestle with some crazy kid. All they had to do was to keep trying to calm him by negotiating. The person was contained inside an empty streetcar and the kid never tried to rush any of the cops.

There was no immediate threat to the public or any of the officers.....
These officers are TRAINED to negotiate and talk these kind of guys down..... the guy was alone in a bus, he did not charge at anyone, he did not even attack anyone. Police officers are trained to first attempt to negotiate, there are like 10 fucking cops there.
This.
