G20 Report: Massive Police Infighting Revealed
Toronto - Fights, mis-information, insubordination, and total breakdown.
A grim picture has emerged from the G20 police report released by the Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD). It shows regional police forces at loggerheads both in the run-up to, and during, the G20. It also shows rampant internal fighting in the Toronto Police Services (TPS) between officers and management.
For those who envisioned a mass, well-crafted, police-machine protecting G20 leaders, what comes across instead is a total gong-show.
Over 21,000 security personnel were used during the G20 - 5,000 RCMP; 3,000 Canadian Military Forces; 6,200 Toronto Police Services Officers; 3,000 OPP officers plus officers from forces and locations all over the country.
