Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw apologized for his initial comments expressing disappointment at the acquittal of a man accused of fatally running over an officer. He clarified that he supports and accepts the verdict, emphasizing the importance of justice over closure.
Demkiw stated that both he and the force were 'hoping for a different outcome' in the trial but later acknowledged and respected the jury's decision. He recognized he should have conveyed clearer support for the verdict.
The chief announced an independent review by the Ontario Provincial Police into the case following negative remarks by the trial judge. Additionally, a comprehensive internal review was ordered to evaluate all aspects of plainclothes policing.
