Without a doubt a tragic turn of events, but I honestly cannot understand how this specific incident is being used as a prime example of a racially motivated "murder" by Toronto police officers. There is no denying there are widespread issues down south, but in Toronto? Come on.

We all put our trust in these brave men/women's hands to keep us safe on a daily basis and exhibit judgement in stressful situations that you or I are simply not equipped to deal with.

Andrew Loku was picked up by officers an hour earlier and accompanied safely home, an hour later he's endangering the lives of his neighbours and refuses to follow simple instructions by the officers on scene. Bottom line, if you don't comply, you are putting them in an impossible situation and yourself in danger. In this case, albeit a tragic outcome, this was justified use of force without a shadow of a doubt. BLM's insistence that this case was somehow racially charged will only further discredit them.
