Toronto police say an officer faces internal discipline after he was seen wearing a patch on his uniform with the message: “Make no mistake, I am the sheepdog” and a black skull in the middle of the emblem. “The officer wearing the patch has been identified and he has been directed to remove it immediately,” Toronto police spokesperson Meaghan Gray told the Star in an email. There’s also a small Canadian flag with a blue line across the middle in the patch worn by the Toronto police officer. U of T criminologist Scot Wortley was surprised that the Toronto officer was able to “get away” with wearing any kind of emblem on his uniform. The role of the police is to enforce the law and bring people into the justice system.”Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
