You will never find more criminals who are "simply misunderstood" as you will Canadian police. He is caught with an illegal substance, and keeps his job as a cop! THAT in a nutshell, is Canada. No rule of law, no transparency and equality before the law.
Check out the prosecutors argument, he presents it as if this is "punishment". A demotion. Not a career change, a demotion. If anyone in any other career did this, they have a criminal record and lose their job.
TPS, OPP, RCMP. No wonder our allies don't trust us...
Toronto cop who brought cocaine to courthouse guilty of professional misconduct | Toronto Star
A Toronto police prosecutor has asked for a veteran cop from the guns and gangs unit to be demoted after the officer was caught bringing a small amount of cocaine into a Scarborough courthouse.
Const. Kirk Blake has undoubtedly damaged the reputation of the Toronto Police Service with his “serious misconduct,” but the 17-year veteran has an otherwise unblemished career, Insp. Domenic Sinopoli told the tribunal.
“There are very good prospects for rehabilitation,” Sinopoli said. “This officer deserves an opportunity to do better.”
Sinopoli asked for Blake to be demoted from first- to second-class constable for one year and be subject to a number of conditions, including random drug testing.
The demotion would send the message that Toronto police take Blake’s conduct seriously, while giving him the chance to return to “who he was before this event took place,” Sinopoli said.
