Which shot actually caused the death though. If he knew he was still alive after 3 shots, then the extra shots were an attempt of murder which makes sen

Well he was unlikely to have fired the second round of shots if the thought he was dead.

I'm assuming he was on paid leave. Now that he is "convicted", he should be unpaid.

Likely will be paid until all appeals are exhausted, or until he's in prison.

So is anybody in Toronto satisfied with this verdict?

Probably not. The pro-cop people wanted him to be cleared and most other people wanted him to be found guilty of second degree murder.

I'm happy with the verdict and I hope Forcillo serves some time in prison. He is exactly the type of person we don't need or want in our police force. Now the real work begins. How did he get accepted to serve in the force? How did he successfuly pass through his training? I just heard on the radio that he drew his gun 11 times during his three year tenure. Why wasn't his behavior questioned? I hope some upper level heads roll. This should not have happened.
To add insult to injury the TPS is requesting a 3.5% budget increase to bring their budget to over one billion dollars. If I were king of the forest I would demand a 5% reduction which would add 50 million dollars per year to the city's coffers. I think the TPS is out of control.

Not really related issues, however I agree with this. Best way to get the police budget under control is to create a new department of traffic enforcement officers - $50K a year plus benefits, same as Vancouver has.

So McCormack is concerned this verdict will have a "chilling effect" on front line officers.
I certainly hope so!

He is right - those who are supposed to uphold the law and given the authority and means to kill should be held to a higher standard.

Agreed. The idea that police should have more leeway in obeying the rules or facing punishment when breaking them than "normal" people seems backwards to me.
