Wow, the police lied about the incident
Unreal
The actual criminals are police, politicians and the justice system.
Not surprising. They wanted to pin it on this guy.
@@Hkhan23 Typical . There should be some type of discipline for these cops.
You shocked? 🤣
Agreed. Police incompetence. If a cop doesn't follow procedure or provides falls testimony which is then proven false their arguments or evidence will get thrown out. It's sorta like the OJ Simpson case. OJ or his temper tantrum oldest son most likely committed the murder, but because of the ill discipline and incompetence of the La police...OJ was found not guilty. You'd think cops would have learned this by now.
No kidding, police tried to railroad them for their own incompetence. Typical police gang behavior.
Remember folks, next time you think you are about to be the victim of a violent crime, be sure to ask the potenial attacker if they're an undercover police officer before defending yourself and/or running for your life.
Are you a cop?....you have to tell me if ur a cop!..
he’s being sarcastic…..
Now, is anything going to be done about the cops that committed perjury on the stand?
Literally nothing.
@@Fungoul OPP will charge them and the court will send them to jail.
@@victorlee2398 Have another Labatt Blur, funny guy.
It's troubling that police officers lied under oath, and it's concerning that the news isn't addressing this important issue.
Actually HMK and his staff are pretty sure all their laws only apply to the plebs.
They will never address it, because the police will never be held accountable for their actions, even when its wrong!!!!!
Keep sharing - we all are.
If civilians get harassed and sometimes ended just for looking "sketchy", then the same applies to unmarked officers.
He said he didn't know he hit anyone, but then he also said he thought he hit a speedbump. How can you not think you hit anything but still think you hit a speedbump? The guy is scared of cops and panicked, simple as.
@@Nosferdamus Straight up incompetence on the cops, 100%. Period. If they had conducted themselves as professionals, this would have never happened.
@@Nosferdamus You keep copying and pasting this moot point. You're going to have to find a better talking point because this one ain't working for ya! ;D
@@Nosferdamus he said he didn’t think he hit anyone. A person is very different from a speedbump
@@Nosferdamus how would he know they were cops?
TPS acted like kidnappers/car jackers and then act surprised that he ran for his life, he wasn't even the suspect they were interested in. TPS proceeded to purjer themselves on the stand multiple times. Smdh
Ex-police chief James Ramer is now eating his words now after making false claims that "this was a deliberate act." What a goof!
He probably ought to face some consequences for trying to taint the jury pool with that public statement, now that you mention it.
He needs to sue the TPS and everyone who lied in court needs to be charged.
@davemcd9077 I've been watching liberal news all day, and that's the most racist thing I've seen.. do better.

@@davemcd9077 Your literacy...ouf.
it's very hard to sue the police in Canada, but this case may be an exception.
cops fault for acting so sketchy.
yup
They looked sketchy as hell... .they look psychotic.
@@stoneneilsbecause they are
Canada police are criminals, like in 1930s Germany
They’re guilty and should be sued
The ppl affected are disappointed. Why? Because justice was served or because it wasn’t injustice served in their favour!
Your just taking his side cause of his colour

@@joesamuelson4122The cops tried to railroad him. Nothing to do with ethnicity.

Plain clothes? I would have run too.. guy was out with his family he wasnt committing crimes.. I can see how there would be doubt on the part of the jurors.
If the guy was plain clothes than what is he saying he is afraid of cops. If he didn't know the guy was a cop. Makes no sense.
@@robertgadziola1601 So a cop in regular civilian clothes bombards you and says they're the police you're gunna stop?
@@Youngsta0 Yea, that you ran over a human being.
@@robertgadziola1601 this sentence doesn’t make sense in response
@@robertgadziola1601 So you can't identify who's coming at you, they don't look like a cop and might try to car jack you... ?
What's wild is that all over the news you hear about car jackings, unless you've been living under a rock
Lots of discrepancy in this case and reasonable doubt .jury deliberated for just over 3 days. And the police lied under oath.
I am not familiar with this case as I'm not from Canada. I don't doubt what you say but could you describe what the police lied about in this case? Thank you.
@@747Conethe police stated that the officer who was struck was standing, when in reality the police officer was already on the ground. Their story changed multiple times in court.
@@747Conelike the video said, the other witness officers said their partner was run down while clearly standing in front of the car. But the photos show zero front-end damage whatsoever to the car. That just doesn't happen in a front end collision.
@@heyjaypay4521 Thanks for that information. I should hope there will be some consequences for those officers who lied.
@@xcfjdyrkdtulkgfilhu Thanks for that information. I should hope there will be some consequences for those officers who lied.
The police here need to realize they aren’t gods and can just do what they please. They act so presumptuously
They will never realize that. Don't even think about it. That's foolish. They can arrest you right now and put you in cell if they want, they are not afraid because they will never be held accountable in 99% cases. public is to blame. Just like they let federal government to destroy the country they let all type of enforcement any rights and powers
The officers who lied need to be charged and see time behind bars to reflect upon their choices.
He should know there was no chance of him not being acquitted on appeal anyhow. I saw this more as a cruel exericse by the prosecution otherwise they'd have gone for manslaughter to secure a conviction. But that would mean he'd spent time in jail. It was to appease the cops/wife of the deceased, test the justice system, set a precedent.
What do you mean? Manslaughter was one of the charges?
I think they had to charge him with 1st degree murder because it was an officer's death.
What I'm curious of is why plain clothes officers were sent in.
It is Mr Trudeau's set of a precedent of lack of judgment of the laws that are put in when dealing with any political police investigations such as this one.
@@CassidyPresleyLMAO dude Trudeau has nothing to do with this trial Einstein. Youd know that if you had any sort of education
@@treplay8846 No it wasn't but it could be used.
Well, as tragic as this is, someone in plain clothes approaching me, IN A TORONTO PARKING LOT no less, would freak me out as well. Its a crime infested city.
In any city at this point. Winnipeg is getting even more sketchy by the year.
Toronto is one of the safest cities in the world.
But I get your point. When you think you're getting attacked you just react.
I’ll never forget the footage of the G12 summit from decades ago in Toronto. I vowed to never visit there after watching the police brutalize innocent civilians.
@@BoogieBoogsForeversafest place yet many goons in hoods kicking doors in and waving guns around.
How many car jackings and home invasions have you been used to? Toronto was safe 8 years ago.
@@BoogieBoogsForeverare you kidding me Toronto is becoming dangerous. Have you been approached by weirdos downtown before? SMH
TPS move like a gang instead of public service
Funny how the Real gangsters ban together every time, against the target, the innocent victim.
cop had no business doing what he did, he was not in right physical shape to pull something like this.
Cops will never make a mistake...just ask them.
After the way police and prosecutors treated the trucker protestors in Ottawa, jailing them for 2 years on mischief charges and freezing their bank accounts, I don't think the public will show much sympathy for officers when things like this happens.
You're twisting this hard, clown. Truckers go to work every day. Those goofs were multimillionaire farmers and their meth dealers.
Both the crown and the cops are dirty. Never should have been charged. Kudos to the judge for not being their pansy.
This clearly shouldn’t have even gone to trial.
Body cams
And TPS wont condemn their own
He should sue TPS , Guy clearly looks devastated after going through this. He should be compensated
plane clothed cops are suspect
Because they can do sketchy things. They shouldn't be sketchy at all.
Am i the only one concerned that we are putting cops into situations like this?
Im no defender of police actions, but there's training for working around moving vehicles safely, and i dont think holding up a badge is in the training.
so niobody should be unercover anymore because zameer
the cop put himself in that situation, he didn't even have reasonable cause to stop and question him
@@junkfoodguy undercover should now they have yo have reasonable cause to stop and question a person and have to properly identify themselves when doing so
@@RottieGuy1980 so did uundercover cops next
@@RottieGuy1980 should the garage be underlockdown then with undercover cops questionining every1 nmot the regular cop?

Some cops behave like thugs

These days, any unidentified individual approaching your car is scary. It's a tragedy and it was an accident.
Even identified it is.

This post lasted 2 hours on the internet, before the crazys entered the chat.😂
Just imagine if it was in 80s no surveillance cameras etc ... the poor guy must have been convicted for murder and put in jail for 25 years after police lied, manipulating evidences, etc 😱😱😱....and you never know must be so many innocent victims like that .....
Three cops purger themselves and the Chief expresses regret about the verdict. The more things change...
*perjure (it's a weird word)
Sounds like tps owes that family money for wasting his time and money trying to defend his innocence.
1:25 cop on the right looks borderline homeless. I would have ran too.
Its like a textbook example of how not to dress in plain clothes.
I would have fleaed too to save my wife and little child if someone like that approached my vehicle and demanding something ...
body cams would have answered many questions; alas ...
TPS needs to do an internal investigation and look into whether or not SOP was followed. The specifics in this case are very troubling…..
Internal = we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong
A lifetime of being pulled over daily
This will end very badly for Toronto police... Wait. Not in this country
Get READY....
His wife gotta do all the drivin now
Or worse. If he wants to live in peace, he needs to move out of the province and start anew somewhere else.
@@montrealsfinestone Every other province is worse. At least Toronto has several hundred thousand South Asians with whom to make common cause.
Wow such a surprise verdict we often see it go the other way wow 😮.
Whichever side of a case you're on: If the judge tells you they can't understand your case, you don't have one. Yes, even if they aren't the trier of fact.
There needs to be a thorough investigation and charges laid against all those who lied under oath in an attempt to miscarry justice.
Is this what "To Serve and Protect" means in Toronto or are we ready for a housecleaning?
Be sure to hold your breath... 🤣
The trial is over so why didn't the Police Chief offer to take any questions? Is he trying to protect the officers that testified?
He's not SMRT enough.
He is pretending to be busy playing cops n robbers against carkacking
It shouldn't matter if they were cops or not.
What is the big uproar? The popo overstepped their authority without identifying themselves!
The old cop should have known better, sorry for his demise.
Police should be better trained, period!
The crown attorney should be disciplined for his flip flop case.
They took his 3 years and impacted hugely on his family , unborn child
What about this family (pregnant wife and a two year old) that looked so suspect, for the undercover police to run-up on them.
Justice can be served if more cameras and better cameras are added to every dark corner in the city. A standard process after each incident should have been the same as any witness process with citizens at a crime scene or incident. TAKE all those cops from the scene individually, separate cars, no cell phone access and have reports written within controlled and separate rooms to prevent conversation or collusion. Unfortunately, the rules for citizens are strict while the police staff process is very lax, open for sharing, talking and collaboration. This results is great expense, delays over time, and a misdirection of Justice to find the truth.
Now lawyer up and go after the police for 3 years of pain and suffering.
Some perjury charges should be layed
Disgusting behaviour from TPS.
Basically every behaviour from them is disgusting. They are unsupervised by anyone except themselves. They can arrest you right now and put you in cell if they want, they are not afraid because they will never be held accountable in 99% cases. public is to blame. Just like they let federal government to destroy the country they let all type of enforcement any rights and powers
standard practice sadly
Just cops being cops unfortunately.
Typical cop behaviour
Police lied under oath.
Camera caught the incident.
Never should have gone to trial.
Why did the Crown even pursue? It made TPS look foolish and it costs money to taxpayers?
Well, you see, the crown attorneys work with the police as partners. So when the police want someone railroaded, the crown has to either give it the ol' college try, or things are going to be real awkward in that working relationship.
@@xcfjdyrkdtulkgfilhu 100% correct. Ask me how I know...
If police had not acted like a bunch of thugs, none of this would have happened. period. Cops need to clearly ID themselves and there is NO reason for the cops not to ID themselves. And its a tragedy that this happened and it did not need to.
Not to mention they need an actual reason to approach you and demand things like id yourself.
Cops were also sketchy testifying under oath
The judge said the cops lied.
@@mackwiz1 They committed perjury AND violated his charter of rights. The lawsuit will be massive!
@@kanuduh5234 : Can you sue Toronto cops for perjury?
@@mackwiz1 No, but he'll be able to sue for violated charter rights, unfair trial processes etc etc. He may be able to sue the cops who committed perjury in a civil suit though.
@@kanuduh5234 : No he won't.
Since 2010 when an army of police goons violated our city we're still stuck dealing with these incompetent, perjuring halfwits.
Time to sue TPS.
No question.
A friend of mine back in the late 90s had similar happen to him here in BC, Canada. He was in a parking lot during a rainy evening on his CB radio with his other friend when a bunch of guys with guns pointing at him started quickly advancing to his car. One jumped on his bonnet and smashed his window with his fist or perhaps an object to accomplish that. He sped off and the guy fell off (just like in the movies), then he went to the police station to report it. Low and behold, here come the culprits. My friend is like "That's the guys" and they're pointing back at him saying "That's him" and asking why he took off. He said he didn't know they were cops since they were wearing plain clothes, and they said they identified themselves, while he said he was absolutely certain that they didn't. My friend just dropped the matter since it was all of their word against his and he felt he had zero chance to win a lawsuit. He of course had to pay for his own windshield too. This is why body cameras matter in today's world. Never trust the police enough to think they're flawless and incorrupt since they're far from it.
I agree 💯. I have installed 2 dash cams on my car since I heard this on the news. I also installed a 4K dashcam with GPS on my 2nd car. Dashcam is our only protection in court if this happened to anyone. So scary. The truth may never come out and 2 families were ruins. Who can afford a 3 year legal fee?
Wasnt there video ?
TPS ruined my trust in any officer! I had a nice car back in the days and they would always pull me over FOR ZERO REASON!
A lesson to learn from !!

If what I am hearing is correct, one or more officers LIED on the stand and perjured themselves.
If the way the reenactment happened truly happened, then the officer caused his own meeting with the Lord.
It saddens me that anyone innocent lost their life in unforeseen circumstances. What's worse is that it was Falsified and presented as something else entirely.
The verdict was just! 💯
Correct Jury decision
I'm on Mr. Sameer's side on this one, followed the story for the a while and it felt misrepresented from the police side.
The police will investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing.🙄
I think the Police owes him and his family $Millions$ and I'd rather our tax money go there than on the Government🛩jet setters.
The guy looks like a dad that he is... did they really think this guy did it?? Robbers usually don't take toddlers for a ride along and rarely drive a beemer? Seems like they were either racists or somewhat deluded....
Well, he's going to get a couple of millions.
I'm sure they were just going to be arbitrarily detained for questioning
give Umar all his money back
Plainclothes should have extremely limited capacity exactly for this reason. It should be temporary and specific, then back in uniform. If they want to jump innocent civilians they can do that in uniform.
Now the Law suit to follow,civil court 😢
Sad that yet another person was killed. No consequences for anyone.
Lesson: Wear a uniform.
As a single women if plain cloths men approached me in an unusual way. I would be concerned especially if as Zameer did I had children with me!
Police is in the wrong and the court got this right
When even the judge makes a rare heartfelt apology to the defendant you know the cops screwed up. *PERIOD* End of story
By the sounds of Herr Demkiw, it's the only apology the victim will get.
Any Cop Who Lied??? IS not upholding Canadian Law..Canadian Police Respect our laws.
Justice serve. Wow I don’t know how they convince the jury shocked
That's not justice. Justice would be if it never happened. This is merely a reduction in the level of injustice faced by Zameer. As someone who's been framed up, let me tell you, it never ends.
The cops lied. Time to sue them for perjury
Can someone explain what happened the day of the incident?
NO. Go read about it.
@@dramatish shucks
Did he stay in prison the whole time????😮
he was released on a $350K bail a few months later.
You all need to google justice durnos letter peel police
TPS is responsible for the death. They need to re-analyze their approach to suspects.
This was an easy decision, justice was served. However, it is a sad situation.
So how was the policeman killed?
He was down on the ground and was run over.
Tried to harass Muslims as usual
You need a high school diploma to be a cop.
Wtf 😮
Wow really they have just high school education...😮
No surprise since half of them are uneducated based on their attitudes
This is an upgrade. The old guy who tried to shaft Zameer might be from the previous generation...
Not true. Maybe 49 years ago. Today You will not get hired by any police service without at least a university degree.
I wonder if who he was had anything to do with it
And who's that?
And what's "it"?
TPS act like gods that can do no wrong and can make any rules they want for themselves. We need better accountability for police in this country.

No disrespect to the family of the deceased, but Police are NOT known for their honesty. I've known more than a dozen cops in my life, and every one of them (both RCMP and City) would perjure to:
A) secure a conviction.
B) Cover for a buddy who had used excessive force.
The above, all by their own admission.
Little wonder the public despise and distrust Police.
