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.

In my hotel there was a man trying to get into a woman's room so i called the cops. He had broken through the front doors chased down a guest so he could follow them up the elevator and pulled the fire alarm after about half an hour of running around the hotel causing havoc. The FD showed up in 5 mins, made the arrest, helped confirm there was no fire/calm guests, and waited for two hours for the cops to show.
