Boyu Shi vs Toronto PD : The Facts

Here are more details for those who want to know more…

When, Where + Who?

The man in the video was identified as 21 year-old Toronto resident, Boyu Shi. He is currently NOT known to be a student, or a Chinese national.

He attended the Black Lives Matter protest in downtown Toronto on Saturday, 6 June 2020, when the incident happened.

It Was Not Racial Profiling

We know it was not racial profiling because he was reported to the police by a protestor who saw him brandishing a large knife at the protest.

When Toronto police officers approached him, he fled on foot. After a short chase, they cornered him and that was when the video was recorded.

Boyu Shi Had THREE Knives

After the police arrested him, they found that he brought three knives to the protest, one (and maybe two) of which  can be seen in the video. If you look carefully, you. can see a police officer kicking away a knife.

He was later charged with assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon / being dangerous to public peace, and carrying a concealed weapon.
