Who steps up...

... to replace Deputy Chief Peter Sloly? • Was Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders hearing hoofbeats over his shoulder? •

Don't worry, "Social Justice Warriors™"... I'm sure there's an appropriately visibly ethnic successor waiting in the wings at Toronto Police HQ to replace the (Jamaican born immigrant) Deputy Chief who ran afoul of his (English born immigrant son of Jamaican parents) Chief.

I am curious as to what sort of "golden handshake" the Deputy received as an inducement to dutifully fall on his own sword.

There is, I admit, a "disturbance in the force" but I'm sure the Jedi Diversity Elders, er... Toronto Police Commission and Chief Saunders has everything well in hand...
Following Sloly's resignation, Chief Saunders expressed his gratitude to the longtime officer for his years of service, making no mention of the recent controversy.

"He has had an impressive career dedicated to diversity in policing and community outreach," Saunders said.

"He leaves a legacy of progressive and forward-thinking projects, including the TPS’s role in social media and the Police and Community Engagement Review."
Shorter Chief Saunders... "So that's why I blew Deputy Slowly's career outta the water."

Thank goodness the Toronto Police Service did not have a male caucasian Police Chief at this particular juncture... otherwise the departure of the (arguably more qualified & articulate than his boss) Peter Slowly would have caused rioting in the streets.
