I should write a book about it all so that allies can understand the lengths they have gone and will go to destroy some of us...

We are making Fox News now. TPS are far from alone. The issue is that some groups get preferential treatment while others do not.

Toronto police ripped for handing coffee to 'Hamas supporters' near Jewish neighborhood​



Toronto police have responded to a now-viral video showing officers delivering coffee to an anti-Israel protester during a recent demonstration.

The video, initially shared on X by lawyer and investigative journalist Caryma Sa’d, shows a Toronto police officer carrying a box of Tim Hortons coffee and cups and handing them to protesters. The recipient, dressed in Palestinian garb, explains the delivery was not sent by the police, but someone else who bought the coffee for the protesters attempting an anti-Israel demonstration on a highway overpass. "But police won’t let them in, so the police is now becoming our little messengers between us," the man says.

The clip received an outpouring of condemnation online from critics alleging preferential treatment by police to those protesting against Israel, contrasted with how Canadian law enforcement has cracked down in the past on the "Freedom Convoy" of truckers protesting COVID-19 mandates, as well as some pro-life demonstrations.

The response from TPS Chief. His organization has ALOT more to apologize for, this is for certain. Ditto for Peel Region Police, Durham Region Police, RCMP, OPP et al.

Honestly, I don't have an issue with police necessarily assisting fair, peaceful protesters, even if controversial. I do have an issue with picking and choosing which protests to provide such assistance to. If the protesters were being peaceful, I suppose the police believe a simple gesture ensures it remains that way.

It is being blown out of proportion, but it is important that the distinction be made.

Toronto police chief apologizes after officers hand coffee to protesters​



Toronto's police chief apologized Sunday after a video posted on social media of officers handing coffee to protesters supporting Palestinians was criticized by politicians.

On Saturday, police closed the overpass on Avenue Road at Highway 401, saying on social media they were on the scene to keep demonstrators and passing traffic safe. Video from the overpass posted on Facebook by Palestine House, a community organization, shows protesters holding Palestinian flags and chanting "Free Palestine."

There is no problem, if the delivery was not sent by the police, but someone else who bought the coffee for the protesters. The video shared on X was misleading to provoke anger as usual, misrepresenting it as a gift from the police.

The Chief apologized. He knows the history of his employees, I made him aware of one in particular.
