Facing mounting criticism for an alleged tolerance of a series of road-closing anti-Israel protests, Toronto police members have sparked renewed outrage thanks to a video showing them delivering coffee to said protestors.
Posted to social media platform ‘X’ at 2 p.m. on Saturday by Toronto lawyer and online commentator Caryma Sa’d, the video shows a Toronto police constable — his face concealed behind a black neck gaiter — delivering a cardboard urn of Tim Hortons coffee and a stack of cups — to anti-Israel protestors occupying the closed Avenue Road bridge over Highway 401.
The bridge, located within Toronto’s largest Jewish area, was the site of numerous demonstrations by anti-Israel activists.
That prompted Toronto police to close the bridge during the protests, prompting criticism of police kowtowing to protestors over enforcing the law.
Toronto police tweeted at 1:16 p.m. on Saturday that the bridge would again be closed, and that officers would be on the scene to “keep demonstrators and passing traffic safe.”
