The Passing of Russell
Given the long association of the Force with equine companions and in common cause with other Canadian Police Forces it was felt that we should recognize and sympathize with the Toronto Police Service in the death of a unique horse from their mounted unit.

Il est dangereux pour nous tous de saper la confiance dans la police
Alors que la rhétorique anti-police au Canada s’est intensifiée ces dernières semaines, j’avoue que la police montée en moi a été mise en colère. Non pas à cause de ce que l’on pourrait supposer – que je refuse de reconnaître que de graves erreurs ont été commises, ou que je suis désireux de laisser les dirigeants de la police s’en tirer à bon compte – mais plutôt à cause du volume de critiques rapides, faciles et à courte vue émanant de nos politiciens et de nos experts, dont la plupart ont été formulées sans aucun équilibre ni nuance.
