First World problems

After criticism over plans to switch the force’s frontline fleet from white to dark grey, Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders unveiled a new prototype Monday that retains the grey base but adds white doors.
Last November, following a backlash, city council passed a motion asking the Toronto Police Services Board to retain the current color scheme of its patrol cars “pending further view.” The motion said “stealth grey” was too militaristic and sent the wrong message to the public. Safety experts were also critical of grey for not being “on the visibility pyramid of paint color.”
Just paint rainbows on the car and be done with it.
The board, which includes Mayor John Tory, also asked that community consultations be undertaken and requested that if a new design was warranted, it “reflect diversity, inclusiveness and mutual respect.”
You must have a heart of stone to not laugh at that.
