Sure, of course he was.

Is there video of the interaction? Because IDK about there, but here in TO police have a habit of ventilating suspects, and then telling tales about the incident that don't exactly match the footage, or each other.

Like EJ said there's a couple videos out there from multiple angles. If you don't want to watch someone getting lit up and still don't believe it though, here are the stills right before any shots were fired.

I don't trust marxist when they say stuff like ID Politics is fake because I assume bad faith, but ID Politics isn't super legitimate and doesn't award people who fall into marginal groups special knowledge that make them always good at analysis of structural problems, public speaking, politics, etc. Believing blindly, or even using as a guideline that marginalized people will know and respond better, can lead to disappointment and risks producing weird hierarchies.

We should trust what marginalized people say, give marginalized people platforms to say it, genuinely listen to marginalized people, and strive at all times not to reproduce inequalities in coming up with socially just policies based on this information and participation. But marginalized people don't have an existence that inherently lets them see the truth all the time or express it, and can fall into supporting patterns that reproduce the status quo.

Capital punishment is not legal in Canada and the Winnipeg cops are not judge and jury

The cops rolled up to the store guns already out of holsters and immediately pointed and yelled at the guy with the machete as soon as he came out store with no attempt at de-escalation. He didn't so much "charge" as he walked towards an officer with the knife up and the cops fired three times, he staggered and started to fall and six more bullets were fired.

Do not allow police discharging a weapon in any situation to escape scrutiny, everything should be analyzed and reviewed to ensure that they never need to shoot anyone.

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
listen if you can't stop a guy with a knife without fatally shooting him while several other cops also fatally shoot him, you should not be a cop

if you are that afraid of the knife man then perhaps you should not have chosen a career where it is your job to deal with knife men

They could have used any of the de-escalation training they get to try and well, de-escalate the situation. The extra 6 shots fired after the guy started going down were incredibly excessive.

Yeah I know that the proliferation of 'less lethal' options like tasers masks real questions we should be asking about police use of force, but also they should have maybe tried that before killing the guy too.

I never said the guy was blameless, I said that there was several different actions that the police could have taken before drawing weapons and yelling that could have de-escalated the situation and resulted in no weapons being fired at all.

Nobody said he was blameless. You're creating a false dichotomy. Police being at fault in wrongful killing soneone doesn't mean that the guy they killed was perfectly innocent.

I don't think the cops really need people defending them, and there should be serious consequences for killing people. I think that the dead person has shouldered enough blame at this point and it's time to mete out blame among the living.

Of course there should be serious consequences for killing people. We both agree on that. There is going to be in investigation into this shooting and if police are responsible they should be punished severely. I don't think this is that case but we will see.

The man deciding to rob a store with a machete set this all in motion. He put the staff in incredible risk and then himself and the public when he left the store.

Not that he shot Sammy Yatim, but that he shot him excessively, with a second volley after he was incapacitated.
