This is so ignorant. There's also a population and land mass disparity or did you just conveniently leave that out?

Actually it's your post that's ignorant.
NYC's population (8.6M) is 3 x's Toronto (2.8M) however they have 7 x's the number of LEO's.
That's the point kugel2 is making to a member who compared NYC's screening and perimeter security on NYE vs. TPS having nowhere near the same level of manpower.
Toronto's homicide rate is sky rocketing while it's an understatement to say NYC's is decreasing. They've gone from "murder capital" of the country to one of the safest large cities in the world. In fact Toronto's murder rate eclipsed NYC in 2018.
(Btw k2, whopping error/typo on the NYPD budget lol. It's approx $6B).
I'm apologizing for nothing. You, on the other hand, can't tell me how many cops you would need to execute your plan to contain 2 million people. I won't even go into where you thought they might get all the metal detectors.... If you can't answer the question to your post, then stand down. You'll just embarrass yourself further.
Doesn’t mean he doesn’t like blunts...turn to 2:00 min of this video...takes this cigar like its natural.
NY city, 790 sq. km, Toronto 609 sq km. On the day in question, the relevant part is to contain 2 million people with available resources in an area that was referred to as similar to Times Square with a similar crowd density. Toronto has 5000 officers to draw from ( they all don't work 24/7, not all are in uniform, about 1/3 are in investigative units). And khufu still won't say how many cops he thinks should have been used for his rings of security for 2 million people.
At least Gangsta rap is understandable
The new generation with crap like Mumble Rap is bordering on absurd
The police believe the white guy with the short brown hair is the shooter.
The three black guys that were arrested had weapons but they were not used.
I’m glad they were arrested and hopefully the white guy on the loose is caught soon.
I stand corrected LB, what I mistakenly quoted was the budget for the whole city, but obviously you got what I was trying to say. Thanks for setting it straight.
At around the same time 3 men and a boy were stabbed in or around the Eaton Centre. You're safe unless you happen to get mow down by a rental van on Yonge Street or shot in the face on a patio on the Danforth or standing in line at Shoppers and are stabbed to death at the checkout.
Farther back you're lucky you're not Jane Creba or in the Eaton Centre when Husband shot dead two people and wounded others.
As typical, this piece of news gets swept under the table.
I thought Torontonians (and other Raptor fans who came in) managed the day well. Waiting in a crowd for hours longer than expected and people still kept pretty positive.
I was on the Danforth that night (but a further east). But I remember all the police cars and ambulances and people panicking. A close relative was at the van incident and saw two bodies.
I was happy watching the Raptors parade at a pub.
Finally Dart comes up with something brilliant. The only safe place is in your home and even then someone can break in. Don't go to work cause someone can go postal.
Yes, it's universally acknowledged that a pub is the safest place on the face of the earth. Maybe even the galaxy.
The Parade was amazing. It was only messed up around Nathan Philips Square.
Take it from someone who actually went.

As I mentioned to Miss Croft earlier, this shit can happen anytime anywhere. It's a reality for a few years now.
There seems to be no new news in the past 3 days. Who is that white man with the gun? Will he ever be caught? Who are the 4 gunshot victims?
So we are supposed to accept this and somehow feel better whenever it happens here?
Myself, i would want to stay away from any big crowds these days. its sad , but no big city seems to be safe anymore.
