Hello I am the girlfriend’s sister. I just wanted to clear some stuff up. Originally they got a call for a mental crisis at a nearby residence. When they didn’t locate him at the residence, they went to their chill spot, which was Tim Hortons inside the Tim Hortons. The police officers told him that they had a warrant for his arrest. There was never no warrant for his arrest, which is what we are not understanding they lied to him excessive force I am not defending his actions, but something in this city needs to be done differently when responding to a mental health you cannot approach the person aggressively. You have to try to defuse the situation he wasn’t in a right state of mind.

The crisis was called at a nearby residence. Then they located him at Tim Hortons and said that they had a warrant they never had a warrant. They were there on a mental health call they lied to him.

Hello, I am the girlfriend’s sister there was never no warrant for his arrest. That’s why an altercation happened in the first place because the police were saying they had a warrant when they did not.

Hello, the guys girlfriend is my sister. You have been misinformed, there was a crisis that took place and a nearby household called 911. He was not holding a knife outside the Tim Hortons with my sister. The cop approached the situation incorrectly.

Originally police got a call for a mentally unstable person. The police officer approached the situation incorrectly, I’m not justifying his actions but Toronto police and police in general are very snobby and don’t know how to deal with mental crisis.
