Iranian immigrant family in Toronto beaten severely and their place of work destroyed - by 7 members of the Toronto PD. This happened because they run a bar in the middle of the annual Gay Pride celebrations. When the writer fell into shock and called an ambulance the next day, members of those officers' division obstructed response so that no ambulance was sent for a full seven and a half hours.

I'm still a bit confused here. What does the fact that his bar was in the Pride area matter? From the article, it seems as if it was the fact that the bar was -- just for one freaking day -- full of gay people was enough to trash the place?

He lives (and works) in the middle of the gay village. He's had problems with these specific cops before, during Pride celebrations.
