Police appreciation thread?
a lot of people seem to bash the police these days...and I've read about people complaining about all the unsolved crime in the GTA...so I thought it might be good to give some recognition where they seem to have done a pretty good job on several long term investigations:
This is all from the Toronto Star IN THE LAST 7 DAYS ALONE:

| Two west-end gangs at centre of Creba slaying Police stage elaborate takedowns as 17 others taken into custody on a variety of firearms, drug charges Jun. 13, 2006. 04:01 PM JOSEPH HALL STAFF REPORTER Early morning police raids have netted eight suspects in the wanton Boxing Day killing of 15-year-old Jane Creba, a murder that sent shock waves across the GTA and brought the bloody gunplay that marred Toronto at record rates last year to the city�s front door. Almost six months after the young star athlete was gunned down near Yonge and Dundas Sts. on Dec. 26, Toronto police finally pounced, culminating an investigation that preoccupied the force and enlisted more than 20 full-time investigators. ... |

| Arrest of murder suspect nets drugs, guns May 21, 2006. 01:00 AM Six handguns and more than half a million dollars worth of cocaine were seized by Toronto police after the arrest of a man wanted for attempted murder. On Friday at around 7 p.m., police on the hunt for a man wanted in connection with a March shooting spotted the suspect sitting in the passenger seat of a car parked in front of a drug store in the Dufferin St. and Lawrence Ave. area. Police arrested the suspect without incident; a struggle ensued with the driver and he was subsequently arrested. The police seized a loaded .9 mm handgun and a stash of crack cocaine. Later on, officers swooped in on a dwelling and found five handguns, a cache of bullets, 4.5 kilograms of cocaine and about $60,000 worth of marijuana. Alberto Suman, 22, and Edwin Humberto Velasques, also 22, face weapons and drugs charges. Velasques also faces an attempted murder charge. |

| Guns rain down on officer during drug raid Jun. 9, 2006. 01:00 AM LINDA NGUYEN STAFF REPORTER Guns were falling from the sky during a major drug bust on Wednesday night, police say. Toronto police Sgt. Don MacCallum of 22 Division said he was standing outside a building at Lawrence Ave. W. and Keele St. while officers stormed an apartment in the building. The apartment was believed to be part of an alleged cocaine network. The next thing he knew, guns were raining down from the balcony, landing next to where he was standing. "Three guns were thrown off the balcony: a .45 calibre pistol, a .25 calibre pistol and a 9 mm pistol. They were all cocked and loaded." Had any of the guns hit his head, MacCallum could have been seriously injured, he said. "First, I giggled and then I had one of those moments of `Oh, damn!'" MacCallum, who was in charge of the case, said a "herd of police officers" carried out the warrant because the suspects, who had been under investigation since last summer, were considered armed and dangerous. Seven men and one woman are facing more than 70 weapons and drug-related charges. |

| Man charged in year-old murder Jun. 6, 2006. 01:00 AM Toronto police have charged a man with first-degree murder, nearly a year-and-a-half after the fatal shooting of Andrew Christie in his Scarborough apartment. Christie, 23, was shot dead after his pregnant girlfriend opened the door to the apartment on Dec. 19, 2004, police said. Two men stormed into the apartment, and one of them shot Christie in the head. At the time of the murder, police alleged that Christie had an argument with a man over drugs shortly before he was killed. The shooting occurred after Christie returned to his apartment to cool down. Police held a news conference a year after Christie was killed to ask for the public's help in finding their suspect. "Shooting an unarmed man over a very minor argument, it's just cowardly," Toronto police Det. Sgt. Rudy Pasini of the homicide squad said at the time. The latest development took place Saturday around 8:40 p.m. when York Region police arrested a man during a drug trafficking investigation in Markham. He is alleged to have given police a false name. Chas Berry, 22, is charged with first-degree murder. Another man, Aleksander Jovanovski, then 18, was charged with first-degree murder on the day of the shooting. |

I LOVE The Police! What a solid band.
I would love them to get back together, but I don't think it will ever happen. Sting has gotten a little to out there now.
living where I live, cops can be your best friend

I was waiting for some ass to post a picture of Sting or something...f you smartasses 
Chinamon...I completely disagree with your claim.
We all know someone who has had a less-than-pleasant encounter with the police...or we even have ourselves...but you seem to be suggesting they do more bad than good...which is rather implausible, to say the least.

| Originally posted by Cosmic Fur They took a poll in Moscow of the most corrupt professions. In first place.... you guessed it! COPS! Isn't it amazing?!?! I think the percentage was that 67% of the cops were corrupt. That's the way we do things in Russia. For those interested, in second place were politicians, and in third businessmen. |
Russia = big and bad
Cops are #1 in my books. I have never had any issues with them, ever. My uncle is a retired officer, and a bunch of my friends are vying to get in with various departments in the province.
definately not #1 in my books at all. Even though ive never really had any issues with them myself... tonnes of bad apples out there!
Just like with any work place you have good guys and bad guys. I think some cops are great...I always treat them with the utmost respect. I haven't personally had a run in with a jerk face cop except just this past weekend, and it wasn't even that bad.
My dad and I were waiting in the car outside our hotel at 1 King West in a no parking zone for my brother. There was literally NO place to park and there were about 5 - 8 cars parked in this no parking zone. A cop game by and started ticketing some of the cars but not all of them. My dad was going to pull out and start driving around a bit, but as the officer passed by our window he quickly just said "Excuse me officer, is there any place that we can park for a short while around here? I'm waiting for my son." The guy stood there, continued to write a ticket (not for us) and then just walked away completely ignoring us. There is NO doubt in my mind that he heard my dad, and I thought maybe he would wait until after he wrote the ticket to answer us...but no...he just ignored us. I thought that was a bit rude.
what i think we have to be most happy about is that they prevented those terrorist fucks from blowing all that shit up that they had planned too!
