Cops’ moral revival
East-end sweep targeting “outsiders” masks homeless crackdown
Stop waxing that moustache and untie that damsel from the train tracks. According to a recent press release from the Toronto police, it’s going to be a “tough summer for bad guys.”
That’s thanks, they say, to Project Revival, code name of an arrest-fest targeting so-called “quality of life issues” that most recently swept through east downtown.
Spearheaded by the 51 Division Community Police Liaison Committee, the six-week crackdown in the Dundas-Sherbourne area that ended April 1 seems to reflect the impatience some residents feel with the concentrated results of poverty in their neighbourhood.
