Two Young Teenagers Tackled by Policemen of Toronto
- Young teenagers, born and raised in Toronto, CA, who are now forced to use wheelchairs and can no longer participate in various activities as before have sued four African-American police officers working for the Toronto Police Force (TPF). Matthew C. Donald, 16, and Jonathan B. Jones, 18, say their rights were violated when tackled for mistakenly running a stop light.
- "We were blinded by the bright shining of the sun." Says the men who now are paralyzed from the waist below following this incident which occurred not too long ago, on April 20th, 2014. These young men have sued the city of Toronto and its police leadership including the four officers accused of this.

Jonathan B. Jones,
Surrounded by his family members after being told such sad news that he'd be in a wheelchair for a rather long time - also paralyzed from his waist and below.
Four Policemen Accused Of This Charge
WHAT HIS FAMILY, FRIENDS AND EVEN SOCIETY HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS?
The fathers of the young boys interviewed as soon as they found out.
"Disgusted. I am absolutely disgusted hearing this. If this is the kind of protection Toronto has to offer, here will definitely not be the place my family will live."
"Why would they even think about doing such a thing? Because they're white? No one deserves this kind of treatment! What kind of system do we live under!"
- Mark Donald and Luke Jones, fathers of the two teenagers.
Close friend, like a "brother" to the young boys has his thoughts to share on this.
"WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS? I get home from school to find out that two of my closest friends are in the hospital? Do you know how hard it is to find out about that, they're like brothers to me! Those dumb officers should be ashamed that they took away so many opportunities from the lives of my friends just for running a stop sign, mistakenly too."
- Bernard Luwinski, close friend of both of the two young teenagers.
Anonymous stranger inputting what she thinks about the whole thing.
"Well, although I do not know these boys at all, I'm astonished by what my eyes have just seen and what I have just experienced. I feel terrible for those boys and their families, hope they get better soon. I mean - I don't know what to think about this place after today. Just seems like a plain old racist place to me."
- Anonymous witness at the scene.
Well that sums it all up. Seems like Toronto is seen totally different now and will be until things are changed. Their leaders better step up their game before they're no longer leaders anymore.
