The event received national coverage and attention,[16] spawning street and online protests. The first protest blocked traffic on Dundas street downtown.[17][18]
On August 8, the Ontario Ombudsman, André Marin, launched a review of police tactics for defusing heated situations, in the wake of public outcry over Yatim's death. The decision was criticized by the Toronto Police Association as a grandstanding political move, and the review as too vague in its goals.[19]
On August 12, Toronto police chief Bill Blair announced he had enlisted former Associate Chief Justice of Ontario, Dennis O'Connor, to conduct an internal review of the use of force by police, and recommend ways police can better respond to situations involving the mentally unstable.[20] On August 28, however, O'Connor withdrew from the police probe due to a potential conflict of interest.[21]
There is no known investigation into the use of the Taser in the incident or into videos which allegedly show a police officer kicking shell casings inside the yellow police tape at the scene of the shooting.[9]
On August 19, the Ontario Special Investigations Unit (SIU) announced James Forcillo was charged with second-degree murder, and surrendered on August 20. If convicted, the minimum sentence is life imprisonment without parole eligibility for at least ten years.[22]
Free on $510,000 bail, Forcillo was not required to appear at the next stage of his preliminary hearing on December 11. Toronto police have stayed a disciplinary charge of discreditable conduct under the Police Services Act of Ontario until the criminal trial has finished.[23] Despite this, he has returned to work, although he does not have a firearm nor is he wearing a TPS uniform. McCormack responded by saying "the situation is not unusual for officers who have been suspended."[24]
On June 17, 2014, the preliminary inquiry ended with judge Richard LeDressay ordering Forcillo to stand trial in 2015. Evidence presented in the inquiry is under a publication ban. Forcillo continues to serve as a Toronto Crime Stoppers administrator.[25] A specific trial date will be set on July 30.[26]
On July 30, 2014, Crown prosecutors added the charge of attempted murder "by shooting (Yatim) with a firearm and thereby wounding him."[27]更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
