A lawyer representing the family of a teenager who died after being shot by a Toronto police officer says they're upset at a decision to grant the man day parole.

Constable James Forcillo arrives at a Toronto courthouse on July 28, 2016 to be sentenced for the attempted murder of 18-year-old Sammy Yatim in 2013. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Michelle SiuLast Updated Friday, August 16, 2019 5:38PM EDT

Forcillo was acquitted of second-degree murder but convicted of attempted murder. The parole board decision came 21 months into his six-year prison sentence. The parole board also said Forcillo had a "dismissive" attitude upon arriving in custody but had addressed the issue. Forcillo fired an initial three shots, which caused Yatim to fall to the floor of the streetcar, then fired a second volley of six more shots. His attempted murder conviction related to that second round of gunfire.

Do you blame them. Another cop gets away with murder. A few years for a life. Another example of cops covering up dirty cops and Trudeau's weak on crime mandate. Disgusting. Only here can you shoot someone 8 times in cold blood and get out in less time than a shoplifter.

Once a cop, always a cop. Above the law that everyone else has to follow.

Of course why not he’s a good guy now
