Summary

Episode 162: In July of 2013, on a busy summer night in downtown Toronto, police received several calls about a man on a streetcar brandishing a knife and threatening passengers and the transit operator. After an encounter with police lasting only 50 seconds, 18-year-old Sammy Yatim had been shot nine times and later died from his wounds. As videos of the incident surfaced, many people were outraged, claiming that the police had used excessive force and calling for the head of the officer who had pulled the trigger.Co-host: Carol BrownePromo: Ignorance Was BlissSources:Global News | Search - Sammy YatimToronto Police shoot Sammy Yatim on TTC streetcar - Markus Grupp YouTubeEnhanced audio/video - Shooting of Sammy Yatim by Toronto Police Const.
