except cops are trained for, and paid to handle these situations, and of the multiple cops on the scene, only one acted that way, so it definitely can't be the standard way of handling these situations.
how can one truly train with their life actually on the line? no matter what you mentally prepare for by books or "mock" situations, its never the same as it actually happening. Don't kid yourself.

Deservedly so. I'm guessing if Toronto police had their AR15s that day, they would have used them.
depends on what you mean by 'use'. Would they carry them? yes. would they fire? only one guy proved to be capable of doing that. let's not lump them all together.
from what I've heard, Forcillo had a history of drawing his firearm. supposedly, TPS is supposed to have internal reviews with the member if they exceed a certain number of draws over a specified time period. So at the very least, it sounds like this guy loved to pull his gun and as per TPS policy, he should have been watched very carefully.
As for the conviction, I've heard the same as Ed. He was fatally wounded after the first 3 shots (as per the coroner), and they were able to "justify" the first 3 (although I think most people would agree that it was excessive). So the conviction was on the following shots where the Yatim was already dead (or close to). I guess you can't technically kill a dead person so you can't charge murder on the following shots.

My old man did 25 years as a cop here in Hamilton, walking the beat back in the 70's downtown with no radio lol. He never used is gun and he said he only drew it a handful of times in his entire career. But, that was also back in the day when the hired the biggest toughest guys and if you encountered some goon on the street, the fight was on. I remember him coming home all beat up some days, but that's how it went down back then. Today it seems like their handgun is their first and only option, not their last. A Blackjack was his weapon of choice.

Today is also not the same as the past. Every night there is a shooting. T.O is fucked and isn't getting any better.

I always wonder if the cops would shoot the hands/arms/legs instead of the heart/head to stop Yatim. I mean the goal is to stop him from weaving the knife at the cops but he was inside an empty street car. If Yatim was charging to the officer with a knife, I guess that's another story.
I think the common misconception here is that every cop is a sharpshooter with their handguns...

They're much better trained than the average gun owner though. Except perhaps the military, they fire their guns at the range much more than anyone else.
You'd figure firing hundreds of rounds every week would make you a lot better at it.
