 TORONTO — Ontario's police watchdog on Monday charged a Toronto police officer with murder in the shooting death of a young man wielding a knife in an empty streetcar. The shooting last month was caught on video and posted on YouTube, leading to an outcry in Canada's largest city. The video shows 18-year-old Sammy Yatim holding a knife inside the streetcar, with police outside. Yatim goads the officers, who yell, "Drop your knife!" Shortly after, nine shots are fired.
