what is this, a fucking police state?!?

"Toronto police say they are creating a counter-terrorism unit and a specialized task force that will see officers with semi-automatic rifles stationed at key locations in the city.

The locations include places of worship, tourist attractions, high traffic public spaces and critical infrastructure, police told reporters at a news conference Tuesday.

...[Boss cop Myron] Demkiw said the unit and task force are a response to global conflicts, rising hate crimes, and the risk of violent extremism in Toronto."

I didn't realize we needed guns to fight the terrorism that mostly seems to be seeping from online and media kerfuckery stirring up hatred of minorities.
