So, moments after the verdict was announced, Toronto police chief, Demkiw, officially made a statement outside the courthouse expressing disappointment that Zameer was found not-guilty, referencing his police family, "I share the feelings of our members who were hoping for a different outcome.", obviously sparking criticism and a ton of outrage in Toronto.
He finally apologized for his comments today in a police meeting where they brought in a camera to record his apology. No word yet on the internal investigation that was kicked off after the judge made comments about how the officers' stories did not match with the evidence and experts that re-created that night's events. I won't hold my breath for the cops to do anything about the perjury on the stand by his officers.
