Clarke — the Toronto Police Service’s first Black female superintendent — has pleaded guilty to seven counts of professional misconduct and admitted she helped six Black cops cheat to get a promotion in “a desperate effort to level the playing field.”
Toronto police Supt. Stacy Clarke — who admitted she helped six Black cops cheat to get a promotion in “a desperate effort to level the playing field” — has been stripped of her trailblazing rank.
In a highly anticipated penalty decision, a tribunal hearing officer sentenced Clarke, the first Black female superintendent in Toronto police history, to a two-year demotion, knocking her down one rank to inspector.
She will not be automatically reinstated to the rank of superintendent after demotion, meaning she will have to reapply.
A white cop would have been fired. I would not be comfortable dealing with a racist cop would you?
