Police photos of the Barry and Honey Sherman crime scene suggest she was attacked after she entered their home on Old Colony Road — not carjacked and taken into the house as was initially speculated in police documents.
A photo snapped by a police forensic officer shortly after the pair’s bodies were discovered shows two gift bags placed neatly on the kitchen table, along with a handbag.
Law enforcement in America has collapsed. Americans in many parts of the country see that products at CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart stores are behind plexiglass, that you must call a clerk to unlock the glass and then wait while you read and examine the different packages.
People know these companies have no choice. Americans know that crime is rising, but the true collapse in law enforcement, particularly at large cities, is without precedent.
In the days following the discovery of Barry and Honey Sherman’s bodies, Toronto police vigorously pursued a murder-suicide theory, despite forensic evidence to the contrary. The theory was only abandoned six weeks later following the Star’s publication of the results of a second set of autopsies revealing it was a double murder.
Why did homicide detectives stick to the murder-suicide theory for so long? That’s a question the Star has been trying to answer since the high-profile case began nearly seven years ago. From day one, police were scouring the Sherman home and their electronic devices, looking for a suicide note, while at the same time asking family and friends why Barry would have done such a thing, according to police documents.
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?
Something interesting is going on in San Francisco where DA Brooke Jenkins, a black woman who ousted the former pro-crime Chesa Boudin and promised to actually enforce the law, is taking on the MacArthur Foundation.
While we often call pro-crime DAs “Soros DAs” and indeed the Nazi collaborating radical billionaire did indeed play a major role in building a pro-crime network of DAs who ignore the law, there are a variety of major foundations who destroyed public safety in America.
Police increasing presence at Hamilton area festivals after swarmings. At Peach Fest, officers ‘likely prevented a shooting’
Hamilton police are increasing the number of officers at community festivals over the next couple of months following a spat of swarming attacks and robberies involving youths at the events last year.
The increased police presence began with the Winona Peach Festival this weekend, where police intervened in several incidents Saturday night.
This new Canada is a Peach!
Canada’s real estate market is an attractive one for those looking to launder money, according to the country’s financial intelligence agency.
“Canadian real estate is considered to be attractive both as a destination for laundered funds and as a channel to launder the proceeds of crime,” says an operational alert issued by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC).

An ongoing turf war within a small segment of Toronto’s tow truck industry has led to an increase in shootings, including 12 separate incidents police allege were carried out by two teen suspects.
At a news conference Wednesday, Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw revealed the results of Project Beacon, an investigative effort to address tow truck-related crimes in the city.
He said firearm discharges and shooting events in Toronto have increased by 50 per cent compared to last year, and investigators believe that 14 of those shootings are related to the tow truck industry.

The internet personality was already awaiting trial for rape and human trafficking, but could potentially now face additional charges of sex with, and trafficking in, underage persons, as well as money-laundering and attempting to influence witnesses, prosecutors say.
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, who have a massive following on social media, have denied all previous charges against them.
A few thoughts on how Americans thought about the crypto trial of the century.
When I first started chasing around after Sam Bankman-Fried, I had no idea where he might lead me. I certainly had no sense that I’d wind up with a ringside seat to a financial catastrophe. I had no slant or angle, much less a theory of the case. I was just curious about Sam and his bizarre situation. Inside of three years, he’d gone from socially and emotionally isolated 25-year-old with an upper-middle-class bank account to leader of a small army of math nerds and (according to Forbes magazine) not merely the world’s richest person under 30 but maybe the fastest creator of wealth in recorded history. The leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties solicited his money and his thoughts. The heads of big Wall Street banks felt a need to know him, and the leading Silicon Valley venture capitalists felt a need to invest in him. Tom Brady was hanging out with him, Taylor Swift was negotiating to endorse his crypto exchange, Shaquille O’Neal wanted to partner with him to solve the homeless problem in the Bahamas, and Orlando Bloom was asking to play him in a movie. He’d gone from having no friends as a child to having too many as an adult without ever developing a capacity for friendship.
Quebec and Ontario organized crime members are travelling to Western Canada to steal valuable vehicles and ship them to Montreal for illicit export sales, a new federal intelligence report says.
“Once generally regarded as a regional issue affecting mainly Ontario and Quebec, vehicle theft has expanded to Western Canada, with Alberta’s number of vehicle thefts now nearing that of Quebec’s, despite an approximately 45% lower population base,” says a report by the Criminal Intelligence Service Canada (CISC), an RCMP-led national criminal intelligence agency.
Luc Sabourin, a former CBSA officer, chokes back tears as he recalls the day a man from one of Canada’s most violent crime families — a refugee from Palestine linked to Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel — stood outside Sabourin’s home in Gatineau, Que., and uttered brutal and visceral threats against Sabourin’s children.
Sabourin — a whistleblower who has complained of numerous serious incidents inside Canada Border Services Agency that he believes are due to organized crime infiltration — thinks a particular colleague may have leaked his home address to the drug trafficker, whom Sabourin was scheduled to testify against.
I would not be surprised.
