Toronto Police and the Dafonte Miller Case
On December 28th, 2016, Toronto Police Officer Michael Theriault and his brother, Christian, beat a young black teen, Dafonte Miller, with a pipe. The assault occurred in a residential neighbourhood while Michael was off-duty. Though the brothers claim Michael lawfully arrested Miller, the teen and his supporters allege it was an assault that was racially motivated. Miller lost an eye as a result of the beating.
The brothers have since been charged with aggravated assault and obstruction of justice. Their trial commenced in October 2019.
