I agree with Ford that we need more police, but we also need a new police culture. When I have interacted with the police they have been unfriendly, arrogant, rude, and often misleading.
They brush off my questions about the number of points related to traffic offenses, they ignore my concerns that I bring to the police department, and at Pusatari's, just north of of Avenue Road and Lawrence, they cause long traffic lines up and down Avenue Road and cause a dangerous situation for cars turning north from Lawrence to Avenue - all because they are paid by Pusaltari's. When a pointed this out to one of the cops, he was rude and ignored me.
The public is not the policeman's enemy. We need a friendly, helpful police force as a first step in better policing.
