Police Tackle Cyclist for Stop Sign Violation

Toronto police tackled a cyclist off his bike on the Martin Goodman Trail after he allegedly sped through a stop sign and shouted at officers — sparking outrage over what a cycling lawyer calls excessive force. The 20-something cyclist, who was pinned to the ground and clearly in pain, received three traffic tickets but no criminal charges. Police say the stop was part of a community-driven enforcement effort, but critics argue the violent takedown sets a dangerous precedent and risks serious injury, calling it far beyond what’s proportionate for a traffic violation.
