TO cops seize bike from homeless man-who paid for it
Toronto cops seized a bicycle that belonged to a homeless man because they figured that he couldn't own a shiny red bike like that.
The victim, who was pepper-sprayed over the incident, apparently saved for two months of panhandling to buy it, his one possession other than his clothes. And they stole his lock. But they must have had good reasons, right? He's probably caused trouble before, bothering people for money, maybe he has some priors, who knows? With the information in the article, though, these cops should probably be embarrassed if not ashamed or even reprimanded. They assaulted the guy and stole his bike, for God's sake.
How sad.
