That's some conclusion to draw from people spotting this as abuse of power. Being able to keep your private life out of your job, especially one as a cop, is part of discipline - so he can keep his feelings in check, or move on. As for knowing cops, heh, well I know two of them. Both really buy into the "we are all stands between us and barbarity" (while the cops here beat up some guy because he looked like a suspect, heh). Pretty sure all Toronto cops aren't wannabe paramilitaries, but they don't do much to convince me.
