    “He’s huge, he’s a big guy. I’m going to suggest to you, sir, that you couldn’t miss him,” Simone said to Zameer.

    Yeah, when people are banging on your car windows and another vehicle pulls up and you wife and child are panicking you’re definitely going to notice every single fucking thing going on around you and not make any errors due to a rush of adrenaline or a fear that you’re going to be murdered.

    This man should be found not guilty 100%. That they would try him at all exposes the corruption of the state.

    I wonder if it ever occurs to police to not be massive pieces of aggressive, lying pieces of shit. First thing they do to people that’ll act like them is severe assault if not kill em.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Zameer was in downtown Toronto with his pregnant wife and young son to enjoy Canada Day festivities, court has heard.

    As he was preparing to drive his BMW out of the parking garage around midnight, with his family inside, Zameer said he saw a man and a woman in plain clothes rushing towards the car.

    Immediately afterwards, he said the pair started banging on the car, loud enough that his two-year old son began to cry in the backseat.

    As Zameer drove toward the parking garage exit, he said he told his wife to call the police, fearing the van would follow them.

    Court has previously heard that Northrup and his partner — both dressed in plain clothes — were investigating a stabbing when they went into the garage underneath Toronto City Hall.

    Defence lawyers say neither Zameer nor his wife knew the people who approached them in the largely empty parking garage were police officers.
