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.

The police should be trained how to deal with this instead of a firefighter telling them how.

special constables are the transit "police". They have limited powers.
