Andrew Loku was shot and killed by police last July. But the public doesn’t know who did it.
When the Special Investigations Unit announced that the officer who killed him would not face charges, it led to a protest organised by Black Lives Matter Toronto that has lasted over a week, day and night, through rain and an ice storm. Protestors have gathered from around the country, demanding for the name of the officer who killed Andrew Loku to be released and for more accountability when police kill or beat black citizens.
Desmond speaks to organisers and supporters at the demonstration.
