Toronto police says its professional standards unit is investigating after a police-branded Instagram account posted a photo of two cops with an ardent anti-mask campaigner. The photo in question was posted over the weekend by the TPS neighbourhood watch account for 51 Division. He also hosts outdoor parties at Cherry Beach that flout physical distancing rules, where it appears this photo was taken. They also tagged the Instagram account Sky shares with his wife, which routinely posts false information about the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as anti-vaccination information and a host of debunked conspiracy theories. (Evan Mitsui/CBC)Connie Osborne, acting manager of media relations for Toronto police, did not respond to a series of questions about the post, citing the ongoing professional standards review.
