This is insane. This happened in Malton today. The police were called because a man was suffering a mental health crisis. So what did the police do? They climbed a ladder, entered the apartment from the balcony and opened fire on the man, shooting him multiple times
I& #39;m told they shot him in the back. Then they hopped in their tactical van and drove off.
The man was a regular in the local masjid, and while he suffered from schizophrenia, he was non-violent. This is unconscionable. #PoliceBrutality

@PeelPolice @BonnieCrombie @patrickbrownont Why did your police forced execute a mentally ill man? Why was a tactical unit sent on a mental health call? Why was it necessary for there to be assault weapons on a mental health call?
FYI, the police line on this was: "We believe that he was a danger to himself".
So you had three officers fire on him with assault rifles from the balcony because he was a danger to *HIMSELF*? What kind of indulgent cruelty is this???
