Coffee, Whisky and Cigarettes

In a way, I can almost understand the attitude of the Police in Toronto. I used to work security at a shitty bar that catered to a young crowd. On Canada Day one summer, I spent 15 hours straight working at this bar. I was in the adjacent parking lot where a stage was set up for a few bands. My main job was to keep people from fucking in the overflowing porti-john's.

After 15 hours of being "the fun police," everyone was edgy, anxious, and ready for any patron to show us the smallest amount of aggression. I dare anyone to do the that job and not feel the same way by the end of it.

Now give those guys near anonymity, weapons and undefined laws to hide behind and you've got yourself the police force.

I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying I can understand it.

Also, I think I have a man crush on Steve Paikin.
