Or a fight between two rival gangs?
I'm a Police Liaison Officer in Toronto.
My job is community relations.
The tow truck community.
I provide information.
To my contacts.
In the towing industry.
They provide information back.
To my bank account.
That's community policing.
My father is also a cop.
He does… pic.twitter.com/e2kbw0ZQ0O

TPS is in full blown damage control mode. The contemptuous “Us vs. Them” unwritten rule of the “brotherhood” is taking a big hit from the public who may finally have had enough.
BTW – Is there a Toronto Police swim team we don’t know about? Seems everyone in the TPS hierarchy and lower are sporting hairless pumpkins.
Public Relations Pro tip: Stop doing damage control news conferences in flak jackets.
Both of the Chiefs look ridiculous wearing their police gear, given neither of them have been beat cops for a very long time.
A corrupt Canadian is a corrupt Canadian is a corrupt Canadian!
Like, like, like
At the initial press conference the three senior police officers, including the chief, were all wearing bulletproof vests.
Are the media that violent?
L – I’m old enough to remember, when it was called “Toronto the Good!” Those were the days my friends… I wonder what Sgt.(retired) Donald Best, who specialized in rooting out police corruption, has to say.
Yeah, the good old days – TPA Union head Craig Brommel directing his on duty flying monkeys to harass and tail Toronto council members home at night because they said no to police budget increases.
The Cherry Hill Express – Toronto police beating the shit out of people at headquarters and dropping them off in Cherry Hill …a suburb of TO. It was so well known in the GTA there was a song written about it. Warren Kinsella mentioned it quite often back in the day but is strangely quiet now. Likely busy perusing furniture ads.
Toronto police strip searching “civilians” for even minor offenses for the express purpose of humiliation until they had their asses sued off by a visiting British tourist.
We’ve all seen this movie before. Rinse repeat.
It’s the Cherry Beach Express. Because Cherry Beach is far enough away from everything else you can’t hear the rubber hose hitting the phone book, know what I mean?
Maybe we can sweet-talk former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani into taking a run at Toronto. He’s seen this sh1t before.
Whoops. I stand corrected! Cherry Beach Express.
Thanks Phantom.
Here’s the song:

Pohleese, sounds more like politicians to me!
Hmmm, Bill Blair was a former Toronto police chief and Trudeau appointed him Minister for organized crime. Sounds like Trudeau got one appointment right.
#Billie is taking a job outside the country too. Moving to England, uh huh.
Verrry Interestink….
Chicago Police are looking at Toronto police right now and thinking Damn those guys ARE corrupt.

meh. having spewed vitriol at cops for over a decade now l get to say the adage, ye olde,
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .told . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ya . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . so
and as such l find this entertaining as opposed to offensive disconcerting and shocking.
Just about perfect timing for a scandal in Toronto…

21 days after the next Quebec provincial election… 5 Oct.2026 with the PQ still leading in the polls
there was a Law & Order SVU episode like this.
didnt work out well for that one either. mebbe cops should watch cop shows.
mebben summadem gonna have plenty of time Time TYYYMMMEEE to do so out on the range.
or will that be solitary foah dere howns pertikshun??
l just sent a text msg to a beloved lady friend who had to put up with a sexually harassing ‘squatter’ cost her $5000 lost rental income he was scaring away the good ones.
according to local conSTABulary the txt msgs were ‘roommate banter’.
and the fact he broke down a door to get back in, they opined ‘yawell yawell he WARRRNED YA.
and the 7 area cops who wound up dead after moi got laughed at reporting a theft are . . . .
still dead!!! my my my.
What I love about all this is that for 30 years -I’ve- been the bad one for suggesting that maybe gun control is not a great idea. Because historically this cop situation is 1000% predictable. They -always- do it.
And jeez, doesn’t all this put a whole new complexion on the little incident in Port Dover a couple years ago?
https://phantomsoapbox.blogspot.com/2021/11/police-kill-gunsmith-in-port-dover.html
Rodger Kotanko. Fat old guy. Popular guy, lots of return customers, many of them policemen. Shot four times by the Toronto cops, because… well, we’re not sure. But the police investigated themselves thoroughly, and found that it was all good. So, nothing to worry about. Move along.
I’ll see you on the gun smith shooting and raise with the TPS initially reporting the Barry and Honey Sherman deaths as a case of suicide
Barry and Honey Sherman still show up on social media in a call to “if you know something…”
Yeah, that’s another fubar. I don’t know enough details to discern horrifying incompetence from deliberate coverup in that case.
The Rodger Kotanko shooting stinks like week-old flounder. They brought their own ambulance. From Toronto. All the way to Port Dover, okay? Sh0t the old man nine freaking times, according to the report. Three cops, one fired five rounds point blank, the other two cops fired two rounds each, leaving the guy not merely de@d, but really quite sincerely de@d.
With a witness, standing there. We haven’t heard much from that guy. Dog not barking.
My son and I both bought 1911s from him about a decade ago. Nice enough and knowledgeable guy, even if his workshop was a mess and reeked of hand rolled cigar tobacco cigarettes.
The officer who fired wasn’t identified in the SIU report, (which is required under the SIU enabling law), but does the TPS give all it’s officers nickel plated cartridge cases?
Following up on “kritter”s comment about police.
Watched “The Christine Jessop Story” doc the other night. If there’s ever a text book case for having a lawyer present while being interviewed by police this has to be it.
Good Grief!!! Once neighbours deemed him to be a little “strange” because he played the clarinet at times was enough for police to begin the steamrolling process of pinning the murder on Guy Paul Morin.
Cops aren’t your friends.
oooooh shyt l remember Mr Morin being interviewed. ye gawds, playing the *clarinet* is suspicious? the clincher when he observed young girls can grow up to be nasty byatches.
and l remember they interviewed the 2 defective detectives as to why they focussed on the clarinet player.’ oh we figured we had him, so you know, other suspects were dismissed’. the woman defective was in tears. ‘tunnel vision here we go, get a conviction the truth is an inconvenience now’
heeeeeyo SDA, cops are NEVER your ‘friend’. NEVER.
You can teach a computer to play the clarinet, but you must make sure it has enough reed-only memory…
In El Salvador the cops were allowed to finally get criminal gangs off the streets.
This resulted in:
1. the “mainstream” parties in league with the gangs collapsing
2. their leaders going to prison themselves
3. the pro-gang media folding or going into exile
4. El Salvador becoming the safest country in the Americas, with honest Salvadorans’ human rights still being respected.
For this they call Nayib Bukele a dictator.
In Canada the cops make fortunes serving as enforcers for criminal gangs.
This results in:
1. the gangs’ remaining immensely profitable and able to share the profits both with the cops and the Liberal party
2. neither the cops nor the Libranos being held accountable
3. the media turning a blind eye to it all
4. the human rights of Canadians who aren’t mobbed up being treated as a sick joke.
For this they call Mark Carney the leader of the free world.
Have you ever noticed that the rent on retail storefronts is ridiculously out of proportion to the foot traffic they get? Like wildly, insanely high.
Ever wonder how all those little retailers and chains manage to make that rent, year in and year out, with hardly any foot traffic?
Two little words: money laundering.
FILTHY LIBERALS
Toronto should be it’s own Most glorious Phagtopian FORDISTAN Province. All the Left can have it. We will move.
Let’s see how the Queers for Palestine make out with their Depraved Rapey Beheady inbreeding KORANDERTHAL Comrades.
An “acquaintance” of mine is a state trooper in New Jersey. This past summer I mentioned to him about the Karen Reid trial in Massachusetts and how it revealed utterly corrupt the police AND state attorneys were up there, attempting to frame an innocent woman for murder. He said something to the effect of, “yeah, I think it’s great”, essentially saying how awesome it is that they have that level of power. Needless to say, I don’t think all that much of him anymore.
Brilliant!
Ain’t kleptocracy grand?
High Trust to No Trust in one generation.
Is the gun grab all part of this systemic lying?
I say it is.
Message to the law abiding”You are all criminals now”.
“Join the biggest streetgang in the country”
“The RCMP needs you.”
When you abandon all standards, where do you “Draw the line”?
When you believe in nothing,where will you stand?
The perception of conflict of interest does more to destroy public confidence and faith in the watchmen than their acts of corruption.
Who watches the watchmen?
Human Nature again.
Venal self interest will always trump the general populations interests..
For the first is known to the actors..The second is an abstraction.
Consider the idea that government and civic order is an illusion.
The laws and rules are for those who have no impulse control,no adherence to The Golden Rule..
So all the political theatre, all the strutting thugs in shiny uniforms,is all theatre.
A morality play put on for the benefit of the slow to learn.
When the performance cost exceeds the benefit?
The show goes under.
The “roles” of society..
Politic is a stage for ugly actors,most our current ones can’t even read their lines.
