Blair to Announce Increased Police Presence Across the City

Posted By: Suzette Francis · 7/26/2012 12:09:00 PM

Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair is set to lay out his plans to ramp up police presence across the city after a recent spate of deadly shootings.
    
The announcement comes just days after Blair met with the mayor and premier to discuss what can be done to prevent more gun violence.
    
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford asked for the meeting following a mass shooting at an east-end community party that killed two people and injured at least 20 last week.
    
The city was already reeling from two other deadly public shootings, one at the Eaton Centre shopping mall and another on a crowded patio in the Little Italy neighbourhood.
    
This week's talks led the province to pledge $12.5-million in permanent funding for anti-violence programs.
    
But the mayor's request for $5 million to $10 million from the province to hire extra police officers wasn't granted.

    we don't need more police, we need police prioritizing their presence. less tickets for cell phone use and greater presence where gangbangers hang out

      @proton Totally *AGREE* they need to learn to prioritize and go where they are most needed!!! Stop standing at the street corner with your bloody gun trying to catch speeders, or hiding in the bush/trees or as you mentioned seeking those talking on their cell to give a ticket!!!

      Go catch the robbers, abusers, the gangs, the molestors anything that really REQUIRES A COP'S PRESENCE!!!

    Policing is only a partial solution. The Attorney General needs to stop mouthing the usual bull, about 'banning hanguns in Canada', which is impossible as almost ALL of these guns on the street are SMUGGLED into Canada from the U.S., and concentrate on hiring MORE Crown Attorneys to prosecute 'gun crime', and more Judges to try these cases.....and who, themselves, will OBEY the law and put ANYONE without a carrying permit from the Police (which are RARE) in Prison, and not let them back out on the street to repeat the crime a day later.......WHEN THERE IS CRIME WITHOUT PUNISHMENT, THERE WILL BE A LOT OF CRIME....that....is common sense.

    When I decided to start to discuss crime on this Radio station blog, I said crime is manufactured for it is a business with a whole lot of money inside it. And a kid that gets shot is a victim. Make sure your kid is not that victim.

    Today’s announcement from the Police Chief refers.

    Indeed that is a partly solution but so is the one you have written. Fighting crime must be a society issue and I am using a term society to mean all of us. But to reach that level we must also reach a level that in this city of Toronto we are all equal than making the entire black race a second class. Today, little Shyanne Charles has been laid to rest so I am going to respond comfortably, so that you understand how this city has become so intolerant to blacks.

    In our entire culture as blacks when someone dies we do not discuss that individual or family, for that is a time of grieving. Shyanne’ s family has been grieving and will continue to grieve for as long as they live but we as parents are also grieving. I have never seen a black community so hit hard as the death of this kid. But Jerry Agar as a man that is not a parent decided to use the two weeks this poor girl has been in the fridge to attack everything called a black family. As these parents were grieving, he reminded them why Shyanne Charles was shot, she was born by a poor mother, who is a scam of welfare, who got pregnant when she was a teenager, never went to school, lived In TCHC, did drugs, became a drunkard, has a satellite on a house with a new car when her bills are being paid by tax payers. And she dated gang bangers. In all two weeks that have passed, Jerry Agar has said absolutely nothing to comfort this grieving family. Sometimes one would question why his pounding on these families do not have an end. And don’t misunderstand me, we have a good discussion we need to hold regarding our selves, but the timing of CFRB to see this little girl still lying in a hospital fridge, and start to explain to us why she is dead, was an insult to all blacks in this city.

    But as Shyanne Charles was in a fridge, a second shooting happened in Aurora Colorado, where James Holmes went with a gun in a theater killing 12 and wounding 58. That same morning, Jerry Agar interviewed Jessica Ghawi’s brother and the interview is on the website. What is strange is that Jerry Agar decided to comfort the family of the deceased, and yet when you look closely, the family of Jessica Ghawi and Shyanne Charles are the same, both did not do the crime but both were in a wrong place at a wrong time and they got shot. But one was white and another was black. And that is the point Jerry Agar targeted, the color of the victims.

    In his interview to Jessica Ghawi’s relative, Jerry Agar failed to remind him, that the death of Jessica Ghawi is a fault of white people that fail to bring up their children right. He failed to remind him that all mass murderers are white all way from Columbine to Oklahoma city to Ecole Polytechnique Montreal to Norway to Colorado to you name it. And these white kids are murdering more than ten at a single shot. He forgot to tell him that we have a problem in the white society and the white society must all stand up and fight this for I need to go into a theater and get out without being shot. And yes many of the whites are failures in marriages and that is not wrong to discuss, if whites had stable families we would not become victims of such high numbers of mass murderers from white kids. And what we need is not to talk to the white kids what we need is not to find out these problems early and we attack them, what we need is to make sure that we up hold the death sentence and to make sure that every white kid that commits such a crime gets shot. And whenever we get a chance to arrest them we bolt the doors. And we are going to do this for we are trying and very rightly so, to save the whites from their white kids that are mass murderers. What has happened in Aurora is a white on white crime.

    All that in the above paragraph was forgotten by Jerry Agar when he was interviewing the relative of Jessica Ghawi, and yet all of it including what I have decided to leave out for I don’t want to tire you, has been repeated over and over on CFRB after the death of Shyanne Charles, word for word for she is a black kid. As you are reading writing, we have started to get questions from Philippines for Joshua Yassay was Pilipino, and jerry Agar has educated them that produce killers. I have lived in this city for forty years or so, and I don’t know this city let a country to be racist, but God has to prepare us that we take a second look before we buy into the story of Jerry Agar who believes that whites and blacks should be treated very differently in this city. This path has nothing good to create to our city but destruction. Many American cities have fallen into racially motivated wars because they decide to walk the path Jerry Agar has introduced in this city. Let us not destroy this city by building racial tensions please.

    Shyanne Charles find peace in the hands of the Lord for he is very fair.
