[OT] Police podcast creates serious controversy over hate crime allegations

A podcast by a Toronto Police Service minority outreach group has raised some serious controversy. The Toronto police have a number of outreach groups to reach out to assorted minority groups in the city and one of them, staffed by Muslim police officers, has made two rather controversial assertions:
1. The describing pro-Palestinian demonstrations as being essentially pro-Hamas demonstrations is a hate crime.
2. Muslims who had not been terribly observant of their religion who saw these demonstrations frequently reverted to more strict observance of Islam.
Brian Lilley and crew react to that in this video:

Although the police chief has apologized for those remarks and the podcast expressing these views has been taken down, there are calls for the resignation of the chief and of mayor Olivia Chow.
