You forgot to add "and nothing ever happens"...
Remember Sammy Yatim? The teenager who was begging for the cop to shoot him that was posted to youtube in 2013?
Well, the cop shot him to death, and then another cop ran on the ttc car to taser him (trying to cover up the fact that his buddy shot and killed him at point blank range with no provocation), and even more cops were filmed kicking away shell casings (in an attempt to make it look as though fewer bullets had been fired?? I don't know...) That's destruction of evidence.
There still isn't even a trial date set almost 2 years later now. [0] Forcillo is still working in law enforcement with Crime Stoppers. And when the trial does finally occur, the entire thing is under a publication ban, so nobody will even hear about it. It will be on page 7 of the toronto star that James Forcillo was found not guilty and is now working for another police division.
If he does get 10 years in prison I would be incredibly surprised.

- mdpopescu 11y agoWhy only "he"? You are also pointing out that there were a bunch of accomplices - why shouldn't they be treated as such? If a "mundane" were to shoot someone and his friends tried to cover it up, wouldn't they also be charged?
