need the police badly. As do african americans in Toronto. Those people who have and will rely on the police and are in the communities you talk about were not represented in the agreement. There is hate out there. There is crime. There is terrorism. Why else would the New York City Pride Parade have invited the Toronto Police to participate in uniform this year This just plays into the hands of the right wing and alt left who like to keep the police cleaved from the people who they need a dialogue with. And wearing a uniform in a parade is part of the dialogue.
