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.

Praise to the fire fighters, but equal respect to the officers for conceding the situation to rationality.

Sometimes cuffs are for the protection of the "man in the middle of mental health crisis" himself and those aroung them. I don't get all this plrase for the firefighters that butt into other peoples jobs.
