On liberal fascists
"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences." -- C. S. Lewis

Proving yet again, you just cannot make up s**t like this.
Good Gawd!!!
we don't need cops like this on our streets. that cop should be fired allong with the others with him.
Here's a reply (pro-forma no doubt) I got from Mayor Rob Ford's office on this:
Thank you for your email about the incident in Yonge Dundas Square reported in the Toronto Sun.
After a thorough investigation, members of the Toronto Police Service are entitled to exercise their discretion in deciding whether to lay charges or not under the rules set out in the Criminal Code of Canada.
This individual, like all members of the public, is entitled to pursue the matter in the criminal courts through what is known as a private information. The private information process and rules are governed by the provincial Ministry of the Attorney General.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns.
Yours truly,
Mayor Rob Ford
City of Toronto
Charges are at the "discretion" of the beat cop. Next step "criminal court"?! Nothing in between? Geez! Anyway, let's hope Menzies pushes it further.
Indeed I also hope that Menzies pushes it further and does not let them off the hook. Sorry but assault is assualt and is not at the discretion of the police officer.
