Open Letter to Toronto

With regards to the Fantino takedown of a suspect at the
CNE on Sunday August 22nd, there was in important detail left out of some
reporting. The apprehension of the violently resisting suspect included not
only another officer, but also members of the public. One of the civilians who
assisted the police happened to be ‘Baron Marcus ' lead singer of Toronto
gothic surf band “ Vampire Beach Babes ”.
“It was
quite uncanny, I had just shaken Mr. Fantino's hand, having told him how I have
appreciated his character and contributions to the force when suddenly there
was a violent struggle nearby” says the 6'4” bleach blond VBB
front man.
“Mr. Fantino bolted to the officers assistance
without hesitation and I followed. I don't like to interfere with police
business, but with the suspect kicking like a mule, I was concerned that he was
going to hurt himself or someone else. I simply secured the suspects left arm
and shoulder, which permitted Mr. Fantino and the other officer to secure the
suspect more efficiently".
“I don't think that people
generally appreciate how difficult it can be to subdue a person without hurting
them, particularly one that was resisting so violently. I was really impressed
with Mr. Fantino - who was in dress uniform at the time – I mean here is a
guy at the top who has never lost the passion to serve his community, even on
the gritty street level. As an entertainer I have seen a lot of things, rock
‘n' roll can be a little rough and tumble, but I must say I was really
impressed.”
‘Baron Marcus' of the Vampire Beach Babes was
personally thanked by Mr. Fantino and stands on file as witness to the
apprehension of the suspect.
