Get him a writer, buy him a plane ticket and send it to Hollywood. 

You are a product of your environment. Whether individuals like it or not, this man did some terrible things when he was young, yes - but he changed. We get so caught up in the idea that drug dealers are all bad, immoral people. Some are. But there are those that do it solely to survive the streets. Why are we so quick to judge the past of others when their current character and disposition tell such a different story.

The SIU charges Toronto Police Const. James Forcillo with second-degree murder in the death of Sammy Yatim. Not sure how this will play out in court and what the end result will be though at the very least, I suspect Forcillo has finished his days of being police (or whatever his brain thought it meant to be “police”). On the bright side for Forcillo, the Colombian death squads are always looking for new recruits and he even has a demo reel of his “work” to shorten the application process.
