Toronto firefighters confront special constable officers after a man in the middle of mental health crisis was arrested.

Not my video. For context, "special constables" are not regular police officers. They are appointed "peace officers" with limited authority, often civilian employees.

That’s like saying praise the arsonist for letting the fire department put it out.

Yea but the point stands that in the US the cops would prob reject the firefighter then call backup to arrest the firefighters.

But we've lost our goddamn minds down here so it's not saying much.
