Podcast appearances and mentions of sammy yatim

Desmond Cole, journalist, organizer, activist and author of The Skin We're In, provides a thoughtful analysis on where the Defund the Police movement is right now. It is hard to hear at times, but incredibly constructive. It is more of a discussion of where we need to go than lamenting on past political choices.Although, we do start off by asking Desmond how he feels about Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow's decision to aware the Toronto Police Services every penny they asked for. Considering the article he wrote for Ricochet right after the election, we weren't all that surprised by his answer. Find out if he thinks enough was done between Chow's victory and the first budget, and what needs to be done next. We also discuss the harm police do, both with their violence and the suppression of tactics used to keep power in check. It specifically includes just some the stories of the many young men in Canada harmed at the hand of Police, like Devon Fowlin and Sammy Yatim.All of our content is free - made possible by the generous sponsorships of our Patrons.

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.

On April 30, 2018, the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal by Toronto Police Constable James Forcillo.  The officer was found guilty of attempted murder in connection with the shooting death of teenager Sammy Yatim in 2013.  He was sentenced to six years in prison.  Forcillo appealed his conviction and sentence on a number of grounds including the judge's decision not to allow evidence regarding the defence theory that Yatim was trying to commit suicide by cop.  This is the final episode of this series.  Please let me know what you thought of the podcast and the case.  You can reach me at 1995podcast@gmail.com on Twitter @1995_podcast and Facebook @1995podcast.  Thanks for listening kk  

Lawyers for Constable James Forcillo appeared in court this week to argue his appeal.  The Toronto Police Officer was convicted of attempt murder in the shooting death of teenager Sammy Yatim.  His lawyers say Forcillo's conviction should be overturned or a new trial should be held.  This episode runs down what happened in court and what happens next.

AM640 legal analyst Joseph Neuberger explains to the Oakley Show what new evidence is being presented to the appeals court in an effort to have James Forcillo's attempt murder conviction overturned. Forcillo shot Sammy Yatim 9 times while on duty as an officer with Toronto Police

On this episode a closer look at the phenomenon known as Suicide By Cop and why the defence is appealing the judge's decision to exclude evidence about its theory that Sammy Yatim was trying to provoke police to shoot him the night he died.  Also, a closer look at some of the other reasons the defence is appealing Constable James Forcillo's conviction. 

In October 2015, a trial began for Toronto Police Constable James Forcillo.  In a rare move, the Crown had charged him with 2nd degree murder and attempted murder in the shooting death of 18 year old Sammy Yatim.  The trial was the first time the public would hear from Forcillo about why he fired 9 shots that night.  In the end, the verdict surprised and confused everyone.   

After 18 year-old Sammy Yatim was shot and killed by a Toronto Police officer, the public had many questions.  Why did the officer shoot him so many times?  Why didn't the officer shoot him in the leg or somewhere else non-life threatening.  This episode takes a look at how police officers are trained in an effort to answer those questions.

This episode takes a look at the people touched by this case.  Sammy Yatim was an 18-year-old Syrian immigrant trying to fit in to a new life in Toronto. 31 year old police constable James Forcillo is a married father of 2 young girls.  Their lives collided tragically in July 2013 when Yatim was shot to death by Forcillo on a Toronto streetcar.  

In 2013, a Toronto Police Officer shot and killed a teenager armed with a knife on a streetcar.  Videotaped footage showing the officer firing 9 times at Sammy Yatim caused public outrage.  The officer would go on trial and be found guilty of attempted murder.  But this fall his lawyers will argue before the Ontario Court of Appeal that there was a miscarriage of justice when the trial judge refused evidence that the teen was on a mission to commit suicide by cop.  This podcast is written and produced by Kathy Kenzora who is also host of a podcast called 1995.

Helen talks about her new film Hold Your Fire, about police violence, fear, the Sammy Yatim shooting and how 1 in 5 of us will suffer form a mental health crisis at some point in out lives.   Film Trailer   Film Synopsis   Hold Your Fire explores the reasons why officers who signed on to serve and protect somehow end up shooting a vulnerable person. The documentary looks at how police training and response to people in crisis went off track, and shows how progressive police forces, from Rialto, California to Leicester, U.K., are striving to get onto a better path. We travel with Canadian police mobile teams to calls involving people in emotional crisis, and meet a Hamilton mental health worker who responds to 911 calls and is quite possibly the only civilian in Canada to ever send home the tactical team.   Biography   In naming her one of BC’s 100 Most Influential Women, the Vancouver Sun said, “Helen Slinger’s filmmaking is all about taking a grabber of an event and turning it on its head. The documentarian deliberately digs deeper, looking for real meaning beneath surface shock.”   Slinger began her career as a reporter, first newspaper, then television. After a lengthy left-turn into news management, she left mainstream media to pursue her passion for documentary. An empathetic director, the subjects of her films trust her completely, revealing deeply intimate aspects of their lives. But it’s Slinger’s command of the narrative that is most remarkable.   She artfully weaves together complicated storylines, delivering a nuance that eludes most. Notables from a long list of documentary credits: Shadow Warrior, Leaving Bountiful, Alexandra’s Echo, Mounties Under Fire, The Gangster Next Door, When the Devil Knocks, Dog Dazed, and The Condo Games. When not immersed in Bountiful projects, Slinger is an in-demand writer and script doctor, whose efforts elevate dozens of documentaries.   Read more about Bountiful Films here. ----------   For more information about my podcasting, writing and public speaking please visit my site here.     See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On the way home from Ontario, Roy stopped for a burger and gas when he ran into a young OPP officer who was pumping gas. Roy thanked the officer for putting on the uniform every day and protecting us. He was very appreciative. They talked for a few minutes about many things including Nuit Blanche in Toronto, during which a mob injured several police officers. The officer was really disturbed about that and said fellow officers on the force were talking about it. Meanwhile, in Hartford, CT, a police officer was shouted at by a Dunkin Donuts employee after saying "Guess he hasn't heard. We don't serve cops here anymore." Police will be receiving increased attention as the second degree murder trial of Toronto police Constable James Forcillo in the shooting of teenager Sammy Yatim begins next Tuesday. However, the times police step up and help are so often unreported. #ThankACop. Are you up for it? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Toronto police Constable James Forcillo's trial on second degree murder charges will begin on October 13th. Forcillo is being accused of fatally shooting 18 year old Sammy Yatim eight times on a Toronto street car in 2013. In the last three years the Edmonton Police Service has held more than 100 disciplinary hearings for officers. In Calgary, during the same period there have been only 8. Does this cause morale problems for police officers in Edmonton who worry about being disciplined for what they see as just doing their jobs and at a rate far higher than their counterparts in Calgary and perhaps across Canada? Are cops under too much pressure and too quickly criminally charged, or are too many police officers playing fast and loose with the law themselves?
