A former Toronto Police officer confronts Toronto Police on where they parked their cruiser for a coffee run. Following a verbal back and forth, one of the officers flips the middle finger.
“ rules for thee not for me” is the mentality here. I understand they worked a long shift and need to get something to eat but so do many people in the city. You think if some doctor that worked a long shift, some guy in restaurant or a construction worker that was breaking his back all day tried this you think he wouldn’t get a ticket from them, lose demerit points and then would have to pay more for insurance ?
@@agoogleuser4925 she flipped him off, the man paid his taxes to appoint a salaried personnel to give him the finger which implied for him to F off when he only asks the law enforcement officer why they offended the very law they are there to protect and uphold.
Poor leadership + poor training = bad police. I hope the Toronto police get their act together cause this entitled behavior isn't worth the high taxes we pay.
You forgot the most important ingredient lack of accountability they investigate themselves and get away with everything they violate peoples rights on the daily with zero consequences
@@amywilkins She works for the city, he is her boss as a tax payer and holding them both accountable for their hypocrisy. She can quit anytime if she doesn't like to serve the public.
Mes-a-tinks little miss rookie is about to have Mr. not so happy Sgt up her rear end of that one. While I don't care if the cops illegally park, I do care that she stuck her finger up at the public, even if he was being annoying. That's not appropriate, if you can't take some criticism then don't put on the uniform.
If she can't handle it on a coffee stop, what happens in a dangerous situation? Will professionalism prevail? They were clearly in the wrong. Fix it! Acknowledge. Apologize. Get back to work.
Cops who believe they're above the law are the worst. There is no excuse. Not finding a parking spot means you don't get a coffee. You know, just like common folks.
You don't know what you're talking about. Obviously you've never had training operating an emergency vehicle? All emergency vehicles (including Police) have to park so that they have emergency access to the vehicle in case of an emergency call. Can you imagine if a call came over their radios where there's a mass shooter and they had to run to a regular parking spot and find their car ? EMS/TORONTO FIRE are instructed/trained to park the same way in case of a another emergency call You're trained to park you car in a position so that you have immediate access to the road with no obstacles. That's why you'll always see emergency vehicles parked this way.
@@phoenix-rising-86So you’re saying someone who risks their lives every day and would take a bullet for you can’t take 5min to grab a cup of coffee and yes park in a place that leaves the access to their car in case of emergency?
Glad to see DEI hiring is also bringing quality people to our police force. No wonder crime is going crazy and we aren't allowed to say things online without censorship half the time. If that was a man giving a woman the finger he'd be fired, I'm sure she will be considered the victim and promoted.
nothing will happen to her. She is protected by one of the biggest unions in the city. People forget quickly. Nobody today could point her out on the street and by tomorrow everyone will have forgotten all about this and find something new to whine and cry about.
Three complaints (Affidavits of Truth, sent to their Bond Insurance Company, as found on their publicly-filed Oath of Office) should get them fired from the public duty job, as their Bonding Company would raise their Bond Premiums, to the point of becoming too expensive to get a Bond! No Bond=no public job!
This guy is exactly right. Police are not above the law. If this was in the course of official police business, sure no problem, lights on and park off to the side. But when you are stopping for coffee, you are just like any regular citizen.
This exactly ! There are so many idiots that will approach a cop making an arrest and be 3 feet away from their bodies, and then cry police brutality and post it online saying “Look what they did to me” 😢😢😢 Just because we’re in the smartphone era, no excuse to impede an officer doing his job, sometimes it gets rough these people are human too, and guess what? Black, White, Asian , Hispanic whatever some people are actually guilty & deserve to be arrested ! But cops just dumping a vehicle wherever they please, on the pretense of needing caffeine for an 11-hour shift…..OMG! And forget about female officers being softer & showing empathy, this one shows their power trips are just as bad as the male counterparts.
This one is simple. You're fired! What an insult to the people of Toronto. "TORONTO POLICE" across the doors of the car and an idiotic woman giving the finger. What an image. Speaks volumes about this force.
The guy was just telling them about the optics of them parking in a no parking zone and how it makes all of them look bad; that was the whole purpose of him talking to them in the first place. And then she chooses to flip him off while in the cop car... I mean, it's just a lost cause isn't it?
What a little baby that female cop is. A complaint of her behaviour needs to be filed. Conduct Unbecoming is a serious impediment to any LEO's future promotions. Glad you got it on video.
they aren'T authorities.. there's no authority in Canada. This is why we have a justice system. They are SUPPOSED to be peace officers, acting in the name of the law and order.
Respect is earned, not given away because of uniforms. And they both dishonoured their uniforms by their actions. Therefore they should, at the very least, receive disciplinary action by their superiors.
They gave him the finger? They didnt assault him? Your legally allowed to give anyone the finger you like sir. If your that offended by the finger from a police officer maybe you should look around at the much larger issues and understand how blessed you are to live in a country where your biggest problem is an officer in a video giving a civilian the finger.
@@Comac0420 Police represent the law and the state. They need to hold higher standards than the general population. The problem is not that this woman gave him the finger, it's that a police officer gave him the finger.
Yeah it must be hard work sitting on your ass in the passenger seat all day. Really shows all those poor folks who do manual labor, or are on their feet all day.
yet another sillykunt, sigh............"seriously....you yahoos gotta learn to respect the Police a little more...you folks have a really bad optics'. The Police HAVE THE AUTHORITY to be "READY TO SERVE" AT ALL TIME............yahoo, THAT MEANS, they literally NEED to be ready=pulling into a regular parking spot just WON'T WORK for them=ANYthing can get in their way if they need to exit quickly, THEREFORE, they 'have the authority' to park where they please........and if they feel the need to give Yahoos the finger, then it IS JUSTIFIED......StFU=get a life OTHER THAN the slackass one ya got now.wakethePhuckUp.
Im a paramedic. We sometimes park where we arent really allowed. If someone had asked me why i did, i would have to admit that i was wrong. Its a silly thing to argue about, especially as a cop with the excuse of "we need caffine". The profesionalism of every career has gone down the drain, i see this type of attitude in my coworkers as well.
I agree I work for the city and talk to public everyday as a function of my employment. We all make mistakes, it’s stupid to be so full of yourself that you can’t apologize when you’re wrong!!! Especially about something as common as parking where we shouldn’t. Damn we can all relate to that.
Thank you for your service…I drive bad about 7 years total before COVID, and I hated the other drivers who made us all look bad…Now what % of cabbies are total POS compared to what % of cops….who knows? What they have in common is some fall through the cracks with massive violations, while others get punished or lose their jobs for minor violations/politics/pissing off the wrong person, seen it many times. I had a bad case of Long COVID in 2023, much better now, I had a few ambulance rides here in Montreal & they were all just SO professional, much respect!
You park there for a reason, and you just don't even know it. You park there in case an urgent calls come across your handi radio. If you're are in an underground structure it's going to take you 5 minutes minimum just to get the to the rig. never mind out and rolling, and depending on the parking , ie in an underground, or even if at a dock with the dockmaster ok, you may looses signal . Naw man, you park as best out of the way, not blocking traffic, and you get your shit, and back in the game.
Should have told the person they were correct, apologized and moved on out. Typical modern day recruit?? Get into a discussion over parking. They were in the wrong. Fess up and get out of there.
Yeh right ,always the worst until you need them ,it was a loading zone 🙄 big f$&king deal . So many snowflakes being triggered , need to film this 🤡 everytime he steps out of line .
I saw a post on Twitter where the cops were parking in bike lanes so they could grab coffee. Even if you disagree with the bike lanes people should agree that cops shouldnt just be parking there unless its an emergency.
…FYI, this is just a civilian police force NOT the military…so, these ppl are just your typical average civilian ppl collecting paychecks from the taxpayers.
@@Ese.vato100ok.. so that makes it justified? the instigator pays taxes to fund the police, police flips off taxpayer? hmm something wrong there. doesnt matter the reason, he could have said the nastiest of things and they should be professional enough to not do that.. after all theve been through training to deal with the public in many ways none of is can imagine. all they could have said was.. "they were parked strategically in the case of an emergency" Id accept that answer than continuing an arguement. even continuing the conversation at the green light... cmon, they could have fined him for public disturbance etc... nah lets just give him the middle finger... provoked or not its not justified and very unprofessional
@@PDLaronde police already deal with death, blood, traumatic things and other stuff the public will never have to see or live. Was the finger unprofessional? Absolutely, was it understandable considering the guy is looking to piss them off? Absolutely
Listen here you boot licker if she is not able to control herself when someone confronts her like this then imagine how she would lose her shit if someone dare call her out while there’s no camera , she is not fit for the job end of story I wouldn’t feel safe having this cop protect me. 100
it's a middle finger. Grow a pair, wimp. If a finger gesture offends you, then you are part of the problem in society. Weak men create hard times. Thanks for contributing to that.
OMG THEY ARE EMERGENCY SERVICES VEHICLES THEY ARE ON CALL AN EMERGENCY SITUATION CAN ARISE AT ANY MOMENT WHERE THEY HAVE TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE PARKED WHERE THERES NOTHING OBSTRUCTING THEIR EMERGENCY VEHICLE obviously you have never had operating a Police emergency vehicle training, correct? EMS/TORONTO FIRE ARE INSTRUCTED TO DO THE SAME THING IN CASE OF ANOTHER EMERGENCY CALL!!!! That's why you'll always see the a POLICE CAR parked in position so they have fast emergency access to the road DUHHHHH!!!

I know some cops will put on their flashing lights to go through a traffic red light. Once they are through, they shut them off and drive normally again. I have seen it twice.
@@pacman3556 Keyboard warrior ? Really? The same TPS that used horses to trample on innocent, unarmed protestors from the truckers convoy. How easily this was forgotten. Grow a spine, learn to walk upright, and be human sometime.
@@stevemahoney1733 I would agree, but unfortunately, there are more and more of them now. I've lived a long time and have seen the degradation of what used to be Police. In my opinion, it's probably around 70%-80% Stormtroopers now. They are driving out or have driven out the Majority of Good Police Officers.
The ex cop understood cop mentality enough to game them by turning off the obvious camera to get their true behavior when they thought they were safe and not being recorded. Classic.
I would rather you park legal like everyone else! At the end they block a pedestrian crossing too with no lights flashing just whatever laws don't apply!
There is an argument to be made here, the officers SHOULD be allowed to get coffee while on duty, and we could consider these points: 1, what if, when you are getting your coffee, you, as a police officer, get a emergency call for, let’s say, a active shooter somewhere, and you have to drop everything and run. If your car is in the nearest parking spot you could find is 1km away, now these officers are left running 1 km to get to their car, where that time spent running could effect lives down the road. 2: these people work long shifts, high stress, and in life threatening situations. Why don’t we cut them some slack? This seems more like, I want to be an equal to you (by you, I mean the officers) which is, in my eyes, petty.
@@ProjectRealityV1 there is no such thing as auditing, the entire movement is a scam. These loudmouths with cameras only seek to promote themselves online by harassing and bothering both police and regular people
Because she's a Canadian woman. Stuff like having children and cooking is just, like, icky. They're far, far above it. It's for pitiable, unenlightened victims...like their own mothers.
she flipped him off, the man paid his taxes to appoint a salaried personnel to give him the finger which implied for him to F off when he only asks the law enforcement officer why they offended the very law they are there to protect and uphold.
Justifying bad behaviour Does anyone think this women can physically overpower someone who a- doesn't want to be arrested b- is a foot taller & 100 pounds heeavier c-needs to save her partner on duty?
@@dixonpinfold2582 So you're saying that it would take 11 female officers to make an arrest that a male officer would ?Huh There's video out there of 4 female officers trying to arrest one man an he got away. Sweden I believe, during covid.
@@dixonpinfold2582wow and you think she was disrespectful?.Your comment is disrespectful to all female cops. Misogynistic or what? They face scenes we couldn’t imagine. When we are in trouble they are the people we call on to rescue us. I wonder with the attitude displayed in these comments why anyone would sign up to be on the police force.
@@KKN220 Actually, it's not about my attitude towards anyone because of their sex. It's about effective and safe policing, including the safety of female officers. Sanctimony is not a safety measure. And sanctimony paired with exclusion of male cops from your highly laudatory praise is mighty offensive. They all deserve praise regardless of their sex. And all should be welcomed with gratitude for their choice of career in public service...into specific roles which are well-suited to their abilities. Have a nice day. EDIT: Btw, I never said a thing about her being "disrespectful." You made that up. Speaks volumes.
The guy who is filming is a former TPS officer who got fired for reasons unknown. There are likely parking exceptions as there are in Peel. It's up to discretion.
It doesn't matter who's filming, their actions are unacceptable. Accept you were wrong, admit it, and move on without escalating anything. NOT the hardest part of the job...
The guy was an A***ole He was out to get them. Would he rather they park two blocks away and then if they get a call have to get to their squad car before they could respond. No,she should not have done that but there was some pretty big provocation. Obviously this guy gets paid time off coffee breaks. Some professions are required to stay on their job site and respond during the break if there is a need. He showed up to pick a fight. They responded in the first few minutes but he kept at it. He got what he deserved. The public deserve respect but so do the cops
The general public should park like this, and if ticketed, take it to court. Take this recording to court to show the public can park like that if their servants can park like that.
You’re a class act. Have you no compassion. They don’t get lunch breaks dude. They try and sneak in a bathroom and snack break. When something happens to your family member and you call the police just remember how stupid you sounded on this.
I mean heres the thing Cops should have parking close to the door. If a priority call vomes in they shouldnt have to sprint further down the block ghen fight through parking lot traffic to get to that emergency just because Joe Q citizen feels because hes inconvienienced everyone needs to be. Not dismissing the finger in response but The cameraman needs to understand police rarely get chances for breaks due to calls interrupting it. Its for that reason them having priority parking to respond quickly is nessesary. Also police dont do parking tickets by law does and I know firefighters park in the same spots and no complaints there.
There is currently no such thing as emergency parking close to the door of such businesses. The fact that they're getting away from their car to get coffee is already a bad thing according to your argument, because in an emergency every second counts. And why can't they get coffee at a drive-through, bring coffee from home, etc? Plenty of options are available. Construction workers, preppers and soldiers could give them plenty of pointers.
Don't excuse bad behavior. Everyone is accountable and coffee isn't a cause to break any kind of rule. For anyone. Bring a thermos like every other employee does who doesn't have access to cafeteria or something like that. They were wrong and could've just admitted it and moved on instead of escalating things with a citizen. Horrible reaction from idiotic cops. Don't excuse them, they are accountable and should face the consequences of stupid actions
@yvan2563 Unbelievable you are trying to find any reason to deny the merit that the police have a right to take a break, especially since they work long shifts. The police are allowed to take a break and its not legal to expect them to not be allowed to take a break, that said if a shooting comes in they will drop their break to go deal with it as they are duty bound. Also you cant tell them to pack a thermos its their break time they can get go get coffee if they want. If your workplace has poor conditions that dont allow you to leave to get stuff on break quite frankly thats on you to confront your bosses about not expect others to lower their standards. Guess you think making life and death decisions under the stress of people trying to kill you is the same as your job, based on your lack of understanding of the factors at play I'll assume you don't work that kind of job. Also downtown has like no drive thrus because of poor engineering and favorability for pedestrians. Also don't see soldiers and construction workers cutting their breaks short to respond to a shooting but I do see soldiers violate parking laws as well and construction workers oh man they think they can stop traffic just so they can pull out of their site. Also there are codified exemptions within the statutes that allow police, em's, and fire to violate parking laws. It's common sense. I get some people feel inconvenience and want to take it out on the police because they are held to a higher standard and have a lot more to lose for harming you, for sure a group of hells angels are less likely to have this guy jamming a camera in their face because results will vary. I'm not excusing the officer with the middle finger but it's a minor issue because all that happened was the camera man's feelings were hurt but feelings heal quickly. But also understand her frustration. Cops can't get a break from dealing with criminals they arrest who taunt them saying they will be out the next day on bail for things like murder and rxpe. Now you try to take a break and some guy is jamming a camera in your face trying to humiliate you. Police are humans and take on a huge undertaking and are held to a higher standard but not an impossible standard. I've literally seen police officers take a break, park in a parking lot only to return to find a Karen left a note on their car saying "I'm I don't pay you to get coffee and donuts". If you don't agree with me that the actions if that Karen is disgraceful then honestly I think you are too blinded by police hate to have a reasonable argument.
@@d.mauldille1388 Read my comment again. I never said anything about not taking breaks. You said they should not have to rush back to their cars, so I pointed out that in other professions, people bring their own coffee with them. From that, you extrapolated that I don't want cops to take a break, which is completely false. Since you're trying to use falsehoods to weaken my points instead of arguing like a decent person, there's no point in replying to you any further.
What a role model for the police force. She should be sacked with no pension, but of course that won’t happen. She will more than likely move up the ladder a little quicker.
