• [OT] Fine policing in Ontario

    From Rhino@21:1/5 to All on Thu Aug 14 18:05:00 2025
    I'm beginning to suspect that our police are going the way of the
    British police.

    Police in Windsor Ontario, across the Detroit River from Detroit, are
    looking for a guy who apparently wrote graffiti against "racialized
    groups" and the Alphabet People. The story seems fairly routine until
    you get to the line that says the case is being investigated by the
    Major Crimes Unit!

    Apparently, "hate graffiti" is now a major crime in Windsor, right up
    there with murder, arson, etc.

    Or there is so little crime in Windsor the MCU has little to do. So
    they got called upon to help investigate the graffiti.

    And if you buy that, can I tell you about some great land I have for
    sale in Florida?
