'Brass ... buried it'
Two top lawyers who have repeatedly called for a public inquiry into alleged corruption in the Toronto Police Service say the emergence of two whistle-blowers from the drug squad task force strengthens their demand.
"It supports the suggestion we have made, and not happily, not with any glee or joy, that there is a systemic problem," said Peter Biro, who has filed several civil court suits against Toronto Police for clients who have alleged police corruption and abuse.

Police may be liable for drive
VICTORIA Police have been warned it may be responsible for an off-duty officer driving a bus, whose passengers have been accused of assaulting and racially taunting a Jewish man.
A letter from the Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission to the alleged victim, Menachem Vorchheimer, states the officer, Terry Moore, may have had a de facto responsibility to decide the bus's route and to control passengers.
It also states that the "Victoria Police may be vicariously liable for the involvement of Terry Moore in this matter".
Mr Vorchheimer has launched a civil action through the commission against Victoria Police and the officer involved.
The matter has been referred to conciliation.
Mr Moore, who was off duty, was driving the mini-bus carrying the country footballers home from a trip to the races when the incident occurred.
He is also the subject of an Office of Police Integrity probe after an investigation by the ethical standards department.
Mr Vorchheimer said he believed police officers were role models and had a moral responsibility to take action.
"He (Terry Moore) is a senior constable. He has been around for a while," he said.
"Officers have to be cognisant of the law."
Criminal charges have been laid against three footballers from Ocean Grove over the attack in Caulfield last October.
