Councillor wants army to fight gangs
Mayor and police chief dismiss call
Call in the army — again!



The latest plea comes from Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti, who wants Canadian Forces soldiers commandeered to rid Toronto’s troubled neighbourhoods of gangs.



Mammoliti says the military would be able to swoop in to curb gang violence, like the shootout that erupted in broad daylight this week in the Jane St. and Sheppard Ave. area.



In some areas, residents are afraid to open their doors and talk to police. And police lack the tools to fight gangs, he said, suggesting that gangsters could be deemed terrorists.



"If the feds can justify that (designation), perhaps there could be some law that could take them off the streets."



Mayor David Miller dismissed the suggestion this time, while Police Chief Bill Blair said Mammoliti’s comments did a "disservice" to police and citizens alike.



"I don’t think anybody particularly takes Councillor Mammoliti’s call for the army seriously. I hope not," Miller told reporters yesterday.

**as a people we should collectively be writing hella letters to this councillor at jane and sheppard!!
He should be kicked out of office due to his 'extreme' views!!

that's a terrible idea! how could somebody actually suggest using their armed forces to fight their own people on their own land? it would be like M.O.V.E. in Philly but way worse - instead of a bomb dropped on a residential building, an army in a residential neighborhood!? he can't possibly think that wouldn't cause more violence than there is already.
