But hugging? This is a new one.
During a pandemic, proximity is considered by some the same as carrying a loaded gun. It has landed popular Peel Regional Police Sgt. Paul Brown in hot water.
“Upon learning of the incident, I immediately directed that the sergeant be suspended and commenced an Internal Affairs investigation,” Peel Chief Nishan Duraiappah said in a news release Friday. “Peel Regional Police are committed to ensuring the safety of our members and the public. Our officers will enforce municipal and provincial regulations as required.”
EXCLUSIVE Uniformed Peel Police sergeant is all hugs with supporters of HUF gym before and after one of their group members pursued me. No masks. He offers me a hug, too. I decline. City ordered gym closed; they refuse. @PeelPolice@globalnews#Mississaugapic.twitter.com/B5qqvQasRg— ����á�� ��’�������� (@ConsumerSOS) April 16, 2021
