I accept that there are people there to do nothing more than a job, and deserve respect. Having restraint is an honourable trait and if you exercised it when in a position of power then kudos to you.
I'm wondering - was there any patterns of having more police presence in neighborhoods known to be predominantly BIPOC? Is ticket quotas really a thing? Driving while black & Carding practices are a systematic statistical reality - but that's not to say that some aren't cointributing less or more it'sjust hard to say if it's systematic or a few people wreaking the curve.
Also what's your opinion on the police union? Surely you agree that the law enforcement agency shouldn't have political power that makes them almost untouchable by societal change. That's been holding us back a long time.
Last minor point, do you think funds allocated to police forces are doing the most maximum good they could be doing?
No ticket quotas. About 10 cops per shift downtown. 1 out of 10 would be on traffic duty for the shift. Finish one book of tickets and you can leave early. One book was either 12 or 15 tickets, don’t remember for sure.
Wow. Sounds like the world sucks. I can see why you're so angry now.
By the way, i uses to be a cop in downtown Toronto up until 2010. We still friends? Or do you hate me now because of this?

There’s no racism in Toronto police.
