Toronto police officer charged with manslaughter in fatal shooting of parolee during arrest attempt at Niagara Falls hotel. Ian Lee Johnston, a forty-year-old with a history of property crimes and parole violations, was shot by Const. Andrew Lawson during a parole enforcement operation. Johnston was remembered by family as a devoted father, while the police union claims Lawson acted in self-defense amidst a chaotic situation. This is the ninth manslaughter charge against a Toronto officer since 1990, with no previous convictions. The case raises questions about the use of force in high-stakes arrests involving repeat offenders.
