Former Attorney General Michael Bryant Charged In Death Of Cyclist
"Michael James Bryant, 43 years of age, of Toronto, is now charged with criminal negligence causing death and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death," said Toronto police Sgt. Tim Burrows...Bryant was released under unspecified conditions on his own recognizance... According to police, Bryant was driving his black Saab convertible at about 9:45 p.m. when he and the cyclist became involved in an altercation. Police said the incident quickly escalated. "There was some sort of altercation between the two people involved in this investigation, which has ended in, unfortunately, the death of a cyclist," Burrows said.."The cyclist ended up on the side of the car, holding on, and the driver continued along, driving westbound on Bloor Street." Witnesses said Bryant crossed lanes of traffic to the south side of Bloor Street, still heading west.
Burrows could not explain why Bryant allegedly drove onto the curb."I don't want to try to say why [he] did that, only [he] knows exactly why, but he was travelling westbound in the eastbound lanes," he said. A number of witnesses have come forward, police said. The witnesses said it appeared as though Bryant was attempting to knock Sheppard off the car by brushing against trees and mailboxes on Bloor Street approaching Avenue Road. Burrows said Sheppard was "essentially a pedestrian," having left his bicycle. Police said Sheppard sustained severe injuries after striking a mailbox and a tree while still hanging on to the car.
He was dragged and then run over by the car's rear wheels. Sheppard was rushed to Toronto's St. Michael's Hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later.

What I have to say about all of this:
Knowing that their actions are reprehensible the Toronto police has made those suggestions on how they can improved their badly self induced and tarnished image. I mean how low can you get when you have to steal from a child?. Isn't the police's salary large enough?. Even the lowest of the low normally do not steal from kids but the police? And yet they are out there arresting people every day when they themselves are so corrupted. You will quickly lose faith in the law when you see just how corrupted the police really are. In my case currently they are working day and night to entrap me and giving immunity to those attempting to carry out these actions on their behalf. Its part of the work of exposing their actions. A public inquiry into their actions is of course now a necessity.
