He said he noticed a cruiser following him on Aug. 12, 2021. O’Gilvie, 27 at the time, was dropping by a North York plaza before catching the bus to the university’s downtown campus, according to a statement of claim.
O’Gilvie is suing the Toronto police and the three officers involved for the damages incurred on that summer day, along with $50,000 per Charter violation. His mother, Christine O’Gilvie, is also pursuing $250,000 in damages under the Family Law Act. “Mr. Ogilvie provided his full name but the Defendant Sergeant Saliba did not believe him,” the claim states.
“As the three Defendant officers piled on Mr. Ogilvie, the Defendant Constable Rietkoetter placed his knee and leg on Mr. Ogilvie’s neck,” the document alleges. “Young Black men, the impact of having a state authority attack you and all this is quite traumatizing. We suspect that these injuries will linger on for years and require a significant amount of treatment to resolve, if ever,” Shellnutt said.
Another case of mistaken identity
Excellent!
This is why Tory needs $66 million more for the police budget
Round it to 2million!
I would have to see the body cam footage before coming to a full conclusion, but at the end of the day he was an innocent man. If what he alleges is true, then they gotta pay the man.
Co-operate, don't give attitude, show respect and the cops will do likewise. Act like an ass and resist then they will go at you.
I guess he was at the beach relaxing when all of this transpired?
why the background picture in NYC
This is disgusting. Police could have checked his identity first before tackling him to the ground and tasing him. That guy will be scared of cops and will have hatred for them for his whole life. Sad
Yet…
I didn’t know that sh..t was even possible in Canada. Spill-over effect from our southern border I guess. Vote Poli for more southern charm to come.
Surprise. You resist arrest then claim assault. Pathetic
Gotta get that money people
Judges, lawyers and cops are proof that there is no rule of law in Canada. They do things that would put normal people in jail or have consequences. Local media has ignored this problem ruthlessly and helped these bad actors stay hidden. For example:
The question here is use of force and did the police ascertain the victim is the right person? Was reasonable force used during the altercation. Hope justice is served.
wonderful. go for more$$$$
Everyone wants to be a celebrity
Cops harassment is nothing new. It’s how they do their jobs. Guess what it happens to whites too but the media doesn’t care. I have a feeling when the body cam footage is released this guy loses.
Okay, we all know how force is to be applied and when. Let's see some evidence and take it from there. Let's not make a media circus of this like the US. BTW, Isn't it enough that the courts are involved? Why go to the media?
I thought that only happened in the US
I would have sued for 4 more. The police said no evident, let's look at body camera footage
Wish they would tase me for a million!
I would too after Toronto Police got that massive budget increase
She is s a convicted felon , insurance fraud conviction.
I guess the police should be getting on their hands and knees to beg compliance?!?!
Good luck
Sure.
I love how its a family affair...he wants money, the mom wants money and only after the budget is approved, do they want to sue. I just want the body cam footage.
George Floyd wannabe.
No one on here knows the whole story. We have heard Mr Ogilvie's side. There is another side we have not heard yet.
February 2024 is when this case will be heard? Is that a typo?
Wow, so why taser him when he’s on his back with hands behind his head He was cooperating, yet the knee in his neck! Racism clear as day! I am so afraid for my lil black son, my nephews and all black boys and men out there. Just sad, sad, sad.
Stop resisting
Next time comply
Kramer accepted free coffee for life, but he put the balm on and everything went south.
Where can l donate to the Police Taser Fund ?
Lol, ducking down an alleyway sounds innocent
Rip mr opp
Do whatever you want to my neck for a few seconds to a minute, and shock my butt if you're giving me a cool 1.6m takehome jfc.
Was she being hysterical and violent herself?
‘His mother, Christine O’Gilvie, is also pursuing $250,000 in damages under the Family Law Act.’ Being black and wrongfully-arrested is like winning the lottery! It isn’t newsworthy when whites are wrongfully-arrested, so next time I am, I’mma identify as black and CHA-CHING!
First question I would ask if I was prosecution, what were you doing that they had to taser you ? Next question will be whether they just tasered you because of your ethnicity and for no other reason!
oh god, 'soft tissue injuries' lol. Give him a Timmy's card and be done with it.
Dindunuffin
Most UofT graduates open lndian sweatshops after completion of school at age 30 .
In Jamaica getting beat by police is normal and no one would ever file a complaint because there isn’t a complaint department 😂🤡😂🤡
Anyone from UofT deserves this treatment . Especially the Experts .
And?
Toronto police are getting additional 43+ million dollar budget and they can’t correctly identify someone without assault?!? TorontoPolice Toronto TasedBlackMan
