Toronto police officials say the force's professional standards unit is
investigating after an officer was caught on camera flipping off a member of the
public in a video circulating on social media.

In the video, which is undated and at an unspecified location, the person taping
is seen arguing with two officers about parking in a loading zone in a marked
police vehicle.

Before driving off, one of the officers can be seen giving a middle finger to
the person taping the interaction.

Police confirmed Tuesday the force's professional standards unit is now
investigating.

"We can't speak to the specifics of the incident captured in the circulating
video, but we acknowledge that the officer's response was not appropriate,"
Const. Laurie McCann said in an email.


The video was shared on social media this week. (Canadacopwatch/TikTok)
