A judge found OPP constable Jason Redmond made a video of the 2017 assault, and told people in his circle that he did it to show the victim 'how easily she could be raped when she was drunk.'

Targeting Mount Sinai Hospital to incite intifada against Israel and the Jewish people is flagrantly antisemitic and undermines the health and safety of the patients and medical professionals who work there. The torrent of hatred against Jews and Jewish institutions must stop!

There is no data that supports police as an effective response to social problems. The only data that police care about is their budget number. #TOpoli

As Toronto boosts security after transit attacks, TTC and police offer little data to back approach

Neither the police nor John Tory’s office would produce any of the data upon which they based their decision to increase security, though both touted a data-driven approach
