Man.
Cops get huffy when you ask them if they're gonna give you a carding receipt when they talk to you unsolicitedly.

Wait until I start asking them if they want some of my hair for their trophy collection. πŸ˜‡

❝
The officers under scrutiny are said to be predominantly young male constables with three to four years of experience.

Investigators are examining claims that Black people and individuals of Arab origin were disproportionately targeted in the district’s diverse neighbourhoods. Some officers are alleged to have made racist remarks, according to witness testimony gathered during the probe.

Members of the team also allegedly collected pieces of locs (also called dreadlocks) β€” cut from apprehended men β€” and kept the hair as trophies, according to reports by La Presse and Radio-Canada.

Dagher declined to confirm or deny the latter allegation Friday night, but added that the hair cutting is part of the investigation and therefore could not be commented on at this time.

β€œThe SPVM reiterates that racism, discrimination or any other unacceptable behaviour is not tolerated within the organization,” Dagher said.

Montreal police face major racism probe after officers allegedly kept hair as trophies

Montreal police have suspended two officers and reassigned several others after an internal investigation into allegations of racism, discrimination and misconduct by a Montreal North patrol unit, with one case referred to prosecutors.

Montreal Gazette

Last night I was made to remove the line about cops brainstorming additional charges to make themselves look better about fucking up (ALL charges were dropped eventually) from a report, right about the time cops were brainstorming charges for a 12 yr old they shot at, multiple times judging by the plethora of tiny cones marking the shell casings.

1. Thank fucking DOG cops are shit shots or there might be three dead 12-year-olds right now.

2. The practice of standing in FRONT of a vehicle while firing at it is the MOST INANE FUCKING THING ever to have originated in watching too much television.

3. Cops ABSOLUTELY DO OVERCHARGE AND JUST MAKE SHIT UP when they know they're in the wrong, in order to deflect and make it look like they've done something impressive. We really have to look at cases where charges get dropped or reduced through that lens, ALWAYS.

4. Since there really is no such thing as accountability for police, I have developed a petty and omnipresent urge to see them do more paperwork and be embarrassed by the actual wrong that they do.

I'm going to start calling for public inquiries into everything. I don't actually think the fucking inquiries are going to do a fucking thing except make paperwork and embarrass them.

Much like I don't think the SIU investigations do anything except make paperwork and embarrass them, but it is the tool I have and it is the tool I'm going to use.

4. I'm endlessly impressed by the size of my information and rumour network at this point. You'll see why shortly.

Turns out that not only am I NOT EVEN REMOTELY associated with the cop being killed a couple of days ago, it's probably the fucking cops themselves tied to shootings at the US Consulate (and probably synagogues).

Network linked to GFL attacks: sources
According to a source close to the investigation into the gun-for-hire network, Bennett is also believed to be connected to a string of recent attacks on GFL, the waste-management firm that controls much of Toronto’s garbage and recycling collection. The company has been at the centre of a violent and confusing saga for more than two years, with a handful of shootings targeting the homes of top executives, as well as offices and other facilities. Most recently, GFL was targeted in roughly a half a dozen attacks over the course of a few weeks in March.

The source, whom the Star agreed not to name because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the case, said police believe the gun-for-hire network was responsible for the GFL attacks, assigning a team of teenagers to carry out shootings.

The probe’s dragnet has spanned a number of cases related to ongoing violence in the GTA’s long-fraught towing industry, said a government official with knowledge of a wider investigation into GTA guns-for-hire, whom the Star agreed not to name because they are not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

Over recent years, the GTA saw a significant spike in violence related to the towing industry, including shootings, extortions, arson and at least two homicides. In 2024, Toronto police linked 63 firearm discharges to the sector, accounting for almost 13 per cent of shootings in the city that year. Police tell the Star that figure dropped slightly in 2025, to just under seven per cent.

Sukhram, himself a drug squad officer, pleaded guilty in June to possession of cocaine and methamphetamine, breach of trust and obstructing justice.

According to two separate agreed statements of facts, Sukhram took part in carrying out a search warrant at the apartment of an alleged drug dealer on Jarvis Street in Toronto on July 2, 2024.

Sukhram and six other officers were involved in the operation. The alleged dealer had been arrested earlier that day after selling drugs to police.

Various quantities of GHB, ecstasy, crystal meth, cocaine, methamphetamine tablets, Xanax, Adderall Pink and ketamine were seized from a safe in the living room.

The officers returned to the police's drug squad building and worked overtime to process the drugs. Sukhram left at about 1:25 a.m. in plainclothes with a black backpack.

Yo! #Toronto!

There's another #NaziRally this Sunday, on Yonge Street, no less.

Do you know the little parkette between Gerrard and Carlton? The one with the archway? That's the one.

Sunday. 2 pm.
White Lives Matter, Paul Fromm, Gus Stefanis.

This is what happens when you let the cops help them march through the streets: they get emboldened.

I'm going to need you to get off your ass and show up this time.

7 cops.
2 Γ— 1 hour
5 Γ— 1.5 hours

Standing around in the sun because too many melanated people are gathering, talking about the harms police cause.

To be clear, there are at least 9 speccons from Queen's Park here lest the darkies get rowdy, but TPS wants theirs, too.

Shitlibs! If you ever wonder why your wait times are so high, this is why.

It was a long day yesterday.
(It's going to be another long day today, but at least I get some gardening time in before the shit show.)

Yesterday's event was a lovely part of the AAPI Heritage Month festivities, that had drumming and lion dancing, plus I got a knot in my upper back lessened.

But also the cops briefly turned up, justifying our presence.

It is amazing to me that Toronto Police Service has yet to figure out that we are asked to be present at an ever-widening array of events, precisely because someone is anticipating police malfeasance.

A certain someone has been saying that our refusal to pretend to be neutral means that we shouldn't be calling ourselves "legal observers", because there is an air of neutrality in the name.

I say that is an illusion.
Legal observers are requested specifically to watch and document POLICE malfeasance. Even the NLG with its policy of not chanting or participating in protests, are not there to document what the protestors do.

We at Orange Hats take the policy that as long as the police are not "malfeasing", we are free to do anything up to, but not including, civil disobedience while wearing the hat. (We can always take the hat off.)

Calling cops "fascist motherfuckers" is not civil disobedience. I'm sure they would love to arrest me for that, yet it's not illegal. Sucks being them.

Anyway, as anticipated, a clusterfuck of cops turned up to intimidate attendees at the Asian Massage Festival yesterday, an event put on by a community heavily over-policed, and so we had been asked to be present.

I (being me) had a "Tell Cersei" moment and walked down the stairs to a point where they could see me to snap a photo, which is when they noticed four other Orange Hats peering over the railing collecting their badge numbers. 😁

On their way out the door (having been invited to get the fuck out by facilities management) one of our favourites rambled some nonsense about OH being "anti-cop disruptors" and that people shouldn't want to be associated with us.

In that we *disrupted* their plans to force their way in and threaten people, I guess maybe we are. πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ

Somehow, I don't think cops would like it better if we were called Police Malfeasance Observers and Documenters + Legal Support, which is technically what we are.

Also they should stop getting their ✌🏾"intel"✌🏾 from Caryma, and I would probably stop mockingly asking them if they "realize that intel is short for intelligence," and they should probably stop looking to a person who is fatally allergic to the concept for theirs.
