Crime Beat: Seeking Justice for Myles Gray | S5 E2 

this is EXACTLY why police need mental health training, these officers seem like they are completely oblivious.

This is absolutely disgusting, the injuries he suffered was despicable, these cops all need to be charged with m*rder

These cops were out of control, they should be in prison for murder.

Voting Officers for Jail: This is a complete injustice.

It’s dangerous for anyone who suffers from mental illness in Canada it’s pathetic I worry every day 💜

In 1991, my brother was severely beaten by four Vancouver Police Dept (VPD) officers in downtown Vancouver. He was arrested for running away when officers tried to question him for simply walking downtown in the early morning hours. When I heard he was in St. Paul's hospital emergency dept, taken there by the VPD after they had him in custody for several hours, I went straight there from my office which was very close to the hospital. He was covered in bruises but fortunately had no broken bones. I saw the police report that stated that 4 VPD officers were required to subdue my 150-lb, 28-year old brother; I also saw the hospital report and blood analysis which showed zero alcohol content and zero recreational drug content. The police and hospital staff assumed him to be high on drugs until his blood analysis confirmed this to be false. I bet there are dozens of similar cases every year that don't get reported.

Dismissal? The man died of HOMICIDE !

Wow. I cannot fathom what Myles must have gone through the pain the confusion so so sad. Listening to one of the thugs say “punching him in the head wan the only thing I thought would stop him” is nauseating. All of the cops need to be held accountable.

Why are there no body Cam’s? This is absurd

It's amazing how every officer described every important motion and other details regarding Mr. Gray's behavior and actions towards them, yet not one of them saw any blood... Their lies are equivalent to their choices they made after the fact - 'HORRIBLE'! My prayers go out to the Gray Family and friends of the deceased. A police officer's job is extremely difficult, and I can only imagine the confusion and fear they felt in that moment because witnessing a nervous breakdown or a mental breakdown is frightening. Hindsight however, is 20/20, and they failed when they decided to lie about parts of the events that took place that day.

I definitely believe the paramedics and fire dept in this case, this is heartbreaking and the police should be charged and also should be ashamed of themselves, my prayers are with the family and friends

I hope people will share this story with their friends around the world . This cannot go unchecked . The people responsible need to be brought to justice . It is not ok to enforce laws by breaking the law.

This broke my heart. You can't believe this group of officers. Keep them away from your kids and family. Much love for Myles family from Europe.

I struggle to believe all of these officers couldn’t restrain ONE man 😢. This is so sad

To be beaten that badly and no one be held accountable in a miscarriage of our Canadian justice system

People rarely get the mental health help they need and deserve

😢omg this is terrible, I can't even believe this young man's injuries, breaks my heart, unbelievable

Wow the clearly lied about not seeing any blood or injuries because others who could see from a distance had no problem telling the truth, they were all coached on how and what to say to cover each other’s dirty deeds! My heart is heavy with grief for his family and friends that will forever effected by this cowardly act of the Vancouver Police Department

Justice for Myles!

This is why the cops need to have body cameras and mental health training 😢

Cops killed him

I love how the cops can just stand around in a circle and be laughing in a moment like this 🙄 7:44

If your loved ones go missing, dont offer info about depression. That will unofficially end the investigation right there and they will run with the depression theory.. Do not offer that info of you want a proper investigation..

my heart breaks for his family, you can just tell he was a great human and needed help not deadly force! i cant watch this episode as i have ptsd from cops murdering my brother,,, i get to the list of injuries and my body has a physical reaction, i get sick, the Gray family deserves props for being willing to share this story, thank you. maybe one day i will get through the whole episode,

I remember this when it happened and thinking that they had over reacted, trust me, no one was fooled by the official story. I dont believe a word that comes out of their mouths.

That's the cops for you..unreal man. They need more training for the people who are struggling with MH

7/8 officers for one man? yeah seems just.

Omg what a heart breaking story 😢. Myles just needed help 😢

this is ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS and these officers, which I don't even feel comfortable calling them, must be APPREHENDED AND CRIMINALLY CHARGED, none of this "paid suspension" "paid dismissal" BS. I would 100% without a doubt NOT FEEL SAFE with these people patrolling where I lived, I would feel LESS SAFE with them around.

The community mental health facilities and services we were promised when the government closed our mental health hospitals has never materialized in the four decades since those empty promises were made. Probably never will as trans rights, reconciliation and painting bike lanes green keep our government very busy.

What a Sad × Devastating Case.. VPD needs Mental Health Team.. not Using Extreme Force like they did.. I'm a ER Nurse × changes are needed.. He clearly was in Severe Distress × having an Episode... Mental Health Team...not Force.. 8 PC could have subdued him ? Why they gave him all these injuries...the list went on × on.. So agnozing × painful what Myles went through.. My Heart goes out to his family! 🙏 Justice for Myles Gray...❤ Thank you for covering this case...

Really hope these cops went to jail, cause omg what in the heck were they thinking?? Retraining they need , im hoping they are no longer police officers.

Im feel horrible for the Gray family .. they clearly beat the life out of him ofcourse he was fighting for his life especially after saying "the Charles are coming" he automatically feels people are after him and they assault him .. gang beat him then strangled him .... GUILTY OF STRAIGHT UP MURDERER'S

Where are the body cams?

If you're that weak and full of fear and on some power trip Never be a cop! But that's it though. A lot who become cops are for the wrong reasons. They have something to prove. Picked on in high school,etc. This is similar to the Sammy Yatim case. Tragedies like this are the worst. So preventable. 💛

He should have had help way before a police interaction Theres a lot of people that dropped the ball before he attacked the police

So Myles was hobbled, handcuffed, unconscious, stopped breathing then came came back to life and starting fighting them again?? Bullshit** That's bad what those police did.

"This has to end!????" Wow!..🙄😒

7 cops beatiing the shit out of a guy handcuffed arms and legs and theres no charges of murder against the cops?? B jesus!! There is something so wrong with the canadian justice system! Im getting so discusted with canada!! ( yes im canadian!)

Mental illness can at times cause the person to have almost super power strength. This case is sad. Police would have no idea if a person was high on meth or suffering from mental illness. I agree that de-escalating training should constantly be provided.

I see not much has changed since Robert Dziekanski.....

My faith in the RCMP was destroyed in 1996,coming home from work in my nursing uniform was stopped on Hastings and Victoria Drive. Another division showed up beat the crap out of me and threw me in jail. My father and i reported it two times,i was told to drop it,and did when i saw cruisers down my alley near everyday.

How in this day and age can police in a first world country have such inappropriate training.

Bet no one got the sack? Look after their own, eh? Being a cop doesn’t mean you can beat someone to death and get away with it. Absolutely disgusting for the family to see and hear

Just wanted to say I love your videos and watch and enjoy each and every very informative one. Already looking forward to the next one. R.I.P Miles.

Brings back memories for me going to the funeral for the Polish man on his way to live in Kamloops to help his mother; the man who was murdered by the Vancouver police at the airport! Protect and serve is a joke!

Halfway through I had to stop watching. Listening to all those cops covering each other's asses.

Excited delirium is what the police officers were suffering from.

The "police officers" should be charged with murder. They assaulted him until he died. Myles was really well built and muscular, probably more than the cops were and I'm sure they figured he'd be hard to hold. When his injuries were disclosed, I burst into tears. Not to compare, but this is a lot worst than what happened to George Floyd and I recall know how bad this was. So what I'm saying is that the cops should be fired and lose their badges. And they should have spent time in prison because, a "regular " citizen " who have had been behind bars. Lucky for them that they they're not in the US. Anthony was beaten to death. He had no chance against all.of them. My condolences go to his family and friends. I don't know how they were able to pull though 🌷🕊 . -Alexandra L.

Wouldn’t be a taser more appropriate in such situations ? All these beatings etc. just horrible and very sad.

Bipolar disorder can be a very severe mental illness.

He did not just die, he was killed, by the police, say it.

Completely horrifying. Firstly Myles appeared a wonderful young man who was in distress and needed help. His Family were so loving and supportive and congratulations for pushing forwards for answers. You deserve the best. To Mrs Gray, my heart goes out to you and I hope you can drop the burden of guilt for not being there. How could you have known he was even in the crisis state he was in or indeed where he was but I do understand as I have a son of similar age. Hugs to the Family. I believe the Police worked like thugs and did not work as a team. There should be mental health training and cameras. Oh just terrible, terrible shame for Myles.

I didn’t like how the female officer assumed he was "high" or "intoxicated"..that's unacceptable. These officers clearly have NO experience dealing with these types of encounters involving persons with mental distress/illness. These tragedies shouldn't happen if these officers were trained properly and honestly I truly believe some officers are NOT fit for this type of job. Try to approach these individuals by talking kindly and not loud/aggressively. Remember they are not in the right state of mind and aren't fully conscious of their actions. You have to really understand their mindset and I don't think many officers are capable of that. What happened to Myles is something that happens way too often and its sad that officers are quick to use force. These aren't criminals, these are innocent peoples lives we are talking about and they need help. Also, maybe pulling up the medical records while on scene to see if they have previous mental records on file could be an option.. to see the type of individual they are dealing with. Myles did not deserve what happened to him. RIP Myles and God bless the hearts of those who loved him..especially his mom and dad💕

In Vancouver, when you call the cops. Like 7-10 cop cars show up. Probably 15 cars during the night lol.

Great coverage

Shame on every single cop and prosecutor they all failed! Serve and protect WHO???

❤ it's so sad that they just don't understand mental illness. It would be nice to see Justice for Myles.

When most law enforcement wear body cams these days,i don't understand why Vancouver police don't. Accountability is absolutely paramount. Condolences to the family. ❤❤❤

This is pathetic the amount of cops and what they did to this poor guy

These cops are cowards,disgusting .😢

This is so sad. It’s hard to comprehend.

This is so sick prayers to this family ❤️❤️

Remember if you call the cops to come and deal with someone there is a chance of this happening or even being shot in the first minute or two they arrive. Happens all the time this is not an isolated story

I can't help saying that while actors are reading what the officers gave in their testimonies, the statements sound very well rehearsed. I think they were so angry with him that they couldn't or wouldn't stop efforts to beat Myles into submission until he lost consciousness.

Wow 7/8 COPS (which are supposed to be trained for this type of situation)against 1 this should have never happened and no one is held accountable. I’m heartbroken for his family and for Mr.Grey😢

Not AGAIN!!!!! Is it because they're getting paid peanuts that they only employ monkeys. I hope the family sues these fools. You can tell by his family Myles was unwell NOT bad. Haven't got time to watch all this sad story, but I'm just guessing it was more than just one fool who did this, they do not sound like the one-to-one type of people to kill. I hope the family finds their peace soon. R.I.P. MYLES.

No surprise they didnt blame police..seems to happen alot.

They murdered that poor man...I thought this only happens in America...😢

Sounds like the police officers were in an excited delirium

NONSENSE! I can't believe what they did to Myles and his family. R.I.P Myles, i hope you're happy up there.

Those cops obviously killed miles

the crime scene photos would have done all the talking to the public - you have to see the injuries to get action! It was that bad!

Horrendous to watch ! Poor Myles family a shock beyond belief ! Myles was beaten to death

6 on 1 and the pigs were in danger? gimme a break lol

wow. this was handled so incorrectly...they could have medically sedated him. This happens all the time in my city when they are trying to transport mentally ill patients.

The female officer is lying through her teeth. He felt the whole beating!!!!! Did you hear the audio butch? Liar

Oh i felt ill listening to it all 😢 terrible story

This is what happens when you send people with guns to to the job of a mental health specialist....when will the police learn that not all calls require force.

It sickens me to hear what these cops did, knowing he has no weapon on him. 😢

All that beating because he sprayed a woman with water?

How strong was this man to still be combative even after he's ankle restrained and hand cuffed? Canada police really!!!😮😮

if officers were christian’s, they would understand that demons can influence people and they could address matters more appropriately and with empathy

#justiceforMylesGray #R.I.PMylesGray

The Vancouver police have gotten away with this kind of stuff for years and years they have no respect for anybody they will beat anyone if they get the chance and clearly they did it again to this poor person you don’t get all those injuries by resisting arrest this is clear case of seven men beating and kicking it with poor guy who’s hobbled literally defenceless and that’s Vancouver police for you because they do this to people I was assaulted in the elevator in my building and they didn’t do anything the guy got away free no charges well my head was punched in and I was throwing against every wall eight times and punched eight times and he was never arrested the Vancouver police they don’t care about any persons rights or assaults they go through either you go through the salt and nothing is done for you and your Woman or you’re a guy like Miles and every other person like Miles who have been beaten by the Vancouver police and gotten away with it!

Criminals in a uniform!!! Justice for that poor guy😢 in london we dont treat terrorists like that

I cannot believe it. several polices against 1 person. I cannot imagine what the guy endured!

Absolutely disgusting and a classic police cover up, they murdered him in plane sight, no justice for the family and murderers policing the people!

Instead teasing the guy they pretty much beat him to death . That's really sad no matter what he did

He went crazy but they beat him until he died!

These cops always get away with It..

Shame on these officers omg!!

So hard to listen to this. I feel for Myles and his family. Mental health often has no mercy given. I feel for the police, but hate the brutality they showed.

This was a really difficult watch. My heart goes out to the victim and his family. The officers are all liars (as usual). I wish them all nothing but the absolute worst in life and may they one day get theirs. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.

Myles ❤ 🙏 What a tragic story"....

Big cover up extensive injury s for simple arrest excessive force by bad cop's

If this was public people like you or I one of us would be in jail period full stop but if you wear a badge no problem it's damn near license to kill police need to be held to a higher accountability there is absolutely zero reason this should EVER happen so sad another story of police brutality its gotta stop

This is reminding me of LA and Rodney King which was, at least, filmed. There is NO way this should have happened. Yet another cover - up. Does nobody in law enforcement have any integrity? So much for mental health care. This is an utter disgrace. Useless, totally incompetent, untrained police officers. Totally mishandled. I Do NOT give a toss about what happened to the police, even if it is believable, which it is not. They will all stick together so they are all equally guilty of murder. My deepest sympathy to the whole family. What about the murder charges? This is an utter scandal.

The police ducky up Big time

Worse is the psychological harm . This is why he was acting apprehensive as he knew his background checks were clean Prior to the incident……Some sort of a record would’ve existed after and that’s why he was it’s frustrating or Myles was resisting
