A new report has findings that a Toronto police officer used unnecessary force in an interaction in 2023 that led to the shooting of a Black man in a parkette in the city.
Don Mamakwa of Kasabonika Lake First Nation had a 97 per cent chance of surviving the night if he had been brought to hospital instead of a Thunder Bay, Ont., police cell in August 2014, an emergency-room physician tells an inquest.
Testimony in an inquest into the deaths of two Indigenous men while in Thunder Bay police custody revealed no medical assessment of Don Mamakwa was carried out by paramedics before he was taken into custody.
