| Andrew Loku's death the death of a black man with a history of mental illness at the hands of the police has touched off a furious debate in Toronto. |
Killed by cops
With a hammer in his hand!
Traumatized by war in his native land
In the devastated region of South Sudan
On 4 July 2015
What transpired next was unforeseen
Andrew awoke to extremely loud noise
Due to PTSD
He couldn't give poise
Self preservation
Was his perilous ploy
Andrew reached for a hammer,
In a self defense manner!
Hoping to put a stop
To all the clamour;
Perhaps he was frightened,
Suffering from PTSD
Was the likely factor!
Frequently disturbed
By late night tenant noise
Tenants who were as loud,
As a bunch of high school boys;
A PTSD trigger,
No one realized,
Go figure;
Asset or liability,
The latter deemed bigger;
Police terrorism,
Bagged them a "nigger"!

Andrew was in desperation zone
Wanting to make some noise of his own
So those rude tenants would finally be shown

| Let's face it: Toronto police have a racism problem The recent police killing of Andrew Loku, a 45-year-old black man, is the latest example of an appalling trend. |
Wouldn't leave him alone!
A frightened woman called the cops;
Some consider,
Toronto's cops tops
Why did the city;
Lack the good sense to know,
Andrew's safe dwelling,
Was not for your average Joe?
The Canadian Mental Health Association
For Andrew's building
Received Toronto approbation;
People who have mental health issues
Need more trained staff
Not a bloody box of tissues!
Toronto City Council, should stop and consider;

Mental health residents are frequently in crisis
Calling Toronto cops is like calling in ISIS!
Toronto's racist police
Are a formidable beast;
Their terror against Blacks
Refuses to cease!
When they arrive on the scene
Their demeanor is mean,
Drawing their guns is what's most obscene
There's only one thing
For the reasonable to glean:
Officials are liars who don't say what they mean,

Why I'm Tired Of Being Told Black People Need to fix Our Communities |
Carry the terrorist gene!
Terrorist cops shot Andrew Loku dead
De-escalation methods,
Could've been used instead;
It's like being a cop goes to their head
They'd much rather turn your shirt to blood red
Toronto cops lack the know how
That's why their guns frequently go pow!
They're too quick to mow you down
Especially if you're Black but also if you're brown!
Visible minorities,
Are disproportionately killed!
In Canada, it's what the white elites willed,
There is no difference
Between Canada and the USA
Racist police use terrorism,

For all the racist cops knew;
Andrew Loku;
Could've been a labourer,
On a construction crew!
Maybe he was using his hammer,
To build himself a book shelf.
But the terrorist cops will say
What the parasite lawyers told them would play
"I feared for my partner,

| Sammy Yatim's final warning: New audio reveals officer’s hostile words before teen was shot dead by police |
The murder of Andrew,
Was handed off to the SIU;
These cover up artists already knew
How they'd rule on Mr. Loku
They'll deem it a clean shoot
Like with Sammy Yatim,
They'll conveniently go mute!
The Special Investigations Unit is opaque
Thinking they work for the public,
Is a common mistake;
They're far more cunning than a two headed snake!
They rubber stamp murder
In the aftermath of its wake;
Don't dare place your faith
The province dangles our justice like bait
Police murder cover ups,
Date back to 1988
How many racist police killings,
Has Toronto already had?
First there was Lester Donaldson
A Black husband and a dad
Wade Lawson was a Black youth
Only 17 years old,
Shot with hollow point bullets,
For not doing as he was told!
The terrorist cop -
Anthony Melaragni;
Beat the murder wrap cold,
Though he was using bullets,
That were illegally sold!
Hugh Dawson and Ian Clifford Coley
Were two murdered Black men
Killed by the racist and the lowly;
Your silence won't make
Police terrorism holy
Nor will hiring Black brass

| Michael Eligon Const. Louie Cerqua Toronto officer who shot Michael Eligon feared for his life |
Their political masters
Give terrorism a pass
Michael Eligon was a Black Toronto youth
Murdering the mentally ill,
Is a Toronto police truth;
To see a racist pattern
You need not be a sleuth
Terrorism against Blacks
 |
| The pace of closing SIU investigations has slowed considerably in the past year, the first full year under Tony Loparco's leadership. |
Eligon refused to put two scissors down
While walking around in his hospital gown
He was in crisis and medicated
Police terrorism's premeditated
After they shot him
Was how this was demonstrated
Terrorist police stomped him
While he was incapacitated
Terrorism is evident by it's after effects
When you can't trust police
Because you know what's coming next
Social tensions begin to get worse
To Serve and Protect
Becomes a societal curse!
