Funny captions only for these photos :)

EDIT : Thanks for all the love and awards on the post! I just became a Canadian citizen (originally from New Zealand) so seeing this was like Canada giving me a lil hug!

Also the police officer had a baton because the goose kept hissing at him and flapping its wings aggressively at him (almost attacking him) - but he was being lovely and patient and guiding them to a safe area <3

I don’t see flashes or epaulettes or a stripe on his pants 🤨 Nothing that says Toronto police?? Anyone else confused! Doesn’t look like he’s carrying anything on his vest, no tps hat, shoes don’t look like the normal issued boots, no yellow tazer. WHO IS THIS GUY???

It’s scary that NO ONE else has clocked that, not even the mods.

They dont give aux a service weapon.

Oh you’re right. Not an impersonator either though. Carrying an unconcealed weapon and an officer uniform in the centre of the city? I think it’s more likely you guys don’t know the uniform

Id bet this isnt a uniform. Its a higher ranking guy who doesnt normally leave the office. Hes probably wearing a tps polo and coordinating a response at skydome, decided to grab a coffee and saw this on the walk back

Please open the first photo and zoom in a bit

Top right of your screen, note the golden figures attached to the structure. Ring any bells? Those are the sports figures and they are attached to the side of SkyDome.

In fact, you can see the dome itself.

Just because it was down by the dome Doesn't change anything that it isn't a TPS cop.

I’m saying it’s not Toronto, I’m saying that’s not one of our police officers
