Toronto police say an internal investigation is underway after a video circulating on social media appeared to show an officer giving a citizen the middle finger over an argument about alleged illegal parking last week.
In the video, which has been viewed more than 425,000 times on TikTok, two Toronto police officers are seen ordering Starbucks in the area of Front and Berkeley streets near the city’s Distillery District on Friday afternoon.
The exchange continues for several minutes and the officers eventually get back in their cruiser. The video then shows one of them giving the citizen the middle finger from the passenger seat of the cruiser.
The individual who took the video later told CP24 that he doesn’t believe the officer knew they were being filmed as by that point he had put away the body camera he was using previously. The footage, he said, came from a pair of glasses with a built-in camera.
Damn life must be hard with such a low cognitive potential. My condolences.
Sounds like that sits in your pocket waiting to be used for opportunistic situations. You used the term “cognitive” inappropriately and applied the whole thing out of context anyway. Not to mention “cognitive potential” obviously makes no scientific sense, despite what you may have learned from BuzzFeed articles and Facebook IQ quizzes.
If you’re going to attempt a cognition insult, avoid being ironic with it.
Or…
There. Now you sound just that little bit smarterer. Next step is to look up what “cognition” and “cognitive functions” are so you know the difference and which one to use when. Now you can pull that zinger out of your pocket at advantageous times for true big brain bang bang.
