The exact circumstances surrounding Korchinski-Paquet’s death remain unclear, but many people are alleging she was pushed off the balcony by police officers.
Regis Korchinski-Paquet death: Lawyer calls situation ‘highly suspicious’“Unfounded allegations that police officers pushed a woman to her death from a balcony, in the absence of evidence or fact, perpetuate a false narrative that the police are the enemy … Where there is a lack of information, people may fill in the gaps and create a false narrative.”
The statement said the TPA supports a full SIU investigation into the incident but is asking people to “refrain from a rush to judgement.” “We are deeply disturbed by this and disappointed that some of Toronto’s elected city councillors choose to participate in the discussion during an active SIU investigation,” the statement read.“The comments posted on social media are opportunistic and sensationalize this tragic event with blatant disregard for evidence or fact. At best, these comments are designed to incite fear and mistrust within the community and the police.”“They don’t like us. It’s evident that they don’t like us.
