Black U of T student allegedly tasered by Toronto cops who insisted he was someone else Toronto
to the point of cardiac arrest, a Toronto family is going public with their legal fight against local cops, three of whom they allege used unnecessary force when wrongfully detaining a 27-year-old U of T student on his way to school.
"At best, this was a case of alleged mistaken identity and unnecessary force, but such incidents are more commonly understood by Black communities as 'walking while Black.'" "Defendant Sergeant Saliba drove her cruiser down the walkway after Mr. O'Gilvie, got out of the vehicle and started to question him. Mr. O'Gilvie provided his full name but the Defendant Sergeant Saliba did not believe him," reads the Statement of Claim.
