Senior officer pleads guilty in Toronto police promotion cheating scandal
“Thursday’s agreed statement of fact also revealed that, while examining the content of Clarke’s cellphones, investigators came across messages she’d sent to an unnamed civilian member of the service and an unnamed employee of the Toronto police board.
Those messages were “inconsistent with the service’s commitment to anti-racism,” according to the document. No further description of the messages was provided.”
She was racist on account she was fighting racism.
“Promoted in 2020, Clarke is the first Black female superintendent in Toronto police history and has talked about the importance of diversifying police ranks. Her supporters — who’ve regularly tuned in to watch the case online, a group attending in person Thursday — have questioned whether Clarke was unfairly targeted for actions possibly taken to address systemic equity issues; among the officers she provided the answers to were fellow racialized cops.
“We have been saying that, while the allegations may be true, we felt that there was more to it, and we should look at the circumstances that may have contributed to the actions,” said David Betty, president of the Jamaican Canadian Association, who watched Clarke’s plea.
I posted on this last night but Neocon pointed the way to the Star’s version of events which proved much worse.
