-- "Mayor Olivia Chow has said Police Chief Myron Demkiw told her Toronto Police have their hands tied on charging people involved in alleged antisemitism because of a 'lawyer at headquarters' who says 'don’t bother' if they don’t feel they can get a conviction. Demkiw, counters, HE NEVER SAID THAT." --
What does the lawyer in question say?
-- "'Our General Counsel has not provided advice on any criminal prosecution whatsoever, including the laying or non-laying of hate-crime charges,' Sayer said. 'She does not direct, influence, or advise on charging decisions. Full stop.'" --
Seems pretty clear to me.
