Because the "youth" was "stupid", he had used the wrong bullets and the gun misfired.
Nonetheless, he still tried to kill the police officer.
Police also claim he is a member of a gang, the Vaughan Road Bloods.
"No, I'm not."
Then they went to his own Facebook page and showed him a picture of the gang, with him in it.
"Ohhhh.....that gang.""
So when sentencing came, at least the crown prosecuting attorney and defence lawyer agreed on one thing; the recommended sentence.
Probation.
Good for them. Send a message. And then let them know if they ever do this again, it will be months of probation! Not weeks. And the judge should also give them a very stern look.
They are transferring him him - quickly I hope - to a lower security facility while the judge ponders the recommendation.
Now, reading this article from down here in the southern US, I can almost guarantee you the sentence for attempted murder of a police officer would be a liiiiittle bit different.....

holy crap, lucky the cop didn't shoot back
He pulled his gun, but passersby were behind the "youth", so he held his fire.
So many terrible scenarios - glad it turned out humourous - for some.
