    The Toronto police had that scandal with the bar in their HQ so I think that eliminates them as a contender

      There was a user on the other site that would keep a list of all the terrible things the Toronto Police would do. It’s a long list. We have a Police Board that does nothing and an Association that acts like the biggest mafia-based union for a group that isn’t supposed to have a union. The biggest thing Toronto pays for is Police on it’s budget, yet we get terrible response times, blatantly racist cops upholding blatantly racist policies, cops that won’t talk to the SIU, and outright criminals on the force being on paid leave for half-a-decade or more waiting for a reason to fire the person when they should be behind bars. Then there was the G20… Illegal detentions, some in the middle of the street in the cold and rain, and cowardly officers hiding their names/badge numbers throughout.

      The current TPS is the second police service that Toronto has had, after the first one was dismantled after the cops got into a riot with clowns from a visiting circus over a confrontation that started at a whore house, and I feel as strange as that reason was to rebuild, we should probably look at re-building replacing the TPS today.
