A champion for the people! She cheated to help her fellow black prospects out, even if it means hiring an unqualified person that ends up killing another citizen.
From the RCMP, OPP on down. There is no institution more entitled, more destructive, more criminal, than bad applies that work in the Canadian police I assure you.

Toronto police Supt. Stacy Clarke helped six Black members of the Toronto police service cheat in their promotional interviews as a “desperate act of equalization,” her lawyer said Monday, describing an attempt to level the playing field in a police force where structural racism still holds Black cops back.
In his opening address at Clarke’s high-profile disciplinary hearing, Joseph Markson said Clarke — the first Black female superintendent in Toronto police’s 180-year history — feels “fervent remorse” for her misconduct, which included texting pictures of the answers to interview questions to six Black protégés vying for a higher rank.
But this was misconduct “rooted in real despair, in real hurt and in real pain,” born of both fighting and experiencing systemic racism in policing throughout her career, Markson said.
“As the first Black female superintendent in the history of the Toronto Police Service, Supt. Clark has been running uphill, against the wind, for 26 years,” Markson said.
Community members, Clarke supporters and notable policing figures — including former Toronto chief Mark Saunders, the force’s first Black police chief — packed every seat in the Toronto police headquarters auditorium the the first day of Clarke’s sentencing hearing Monday. The sheer number of attendees, some coming by bus from the Jamaican Community Centre, prompted the move to the larger venue from the usual tribunal office.
