Beware of the Toronto Police Department: Cherry Beach Express is a song about the notorious 52 Division of the Toronto Police force. They have long been believed to routinely take prisoners and suspects to a deserted, industrial waste land called Cherry Beach and beat the crap out of them. There was at least one major law suit where a Cherry Beach Express victim was awared a six figure settlement against the Toronto goons who took him on the Cherry Beach Express. The Toronto Police force has also had a steady stream of corruption problems, accusations and officers charged for various criminal offences. The force has serious ethical and criminal problems and needs to be cleaned out from top to bottom. Following are the lyrics to a song about the practice which got a lot of airplay on Toronto radio in 1984. Needless to say the Police tried to ban the song. One wonders how many members of the Pukka Orchestra ended up riding the Cherry Beach Express. Police in Saskatchewan have been dumping undesireables in mid winter out side town where they can freeze to death. No doubt other police forces have their own versions of the Cherry Beach Express. Is this is a factor in the huge number of false convictions occurring in Canada?
1984 Cherry Beach Express (Solid Gold) The Pukka Orchestra (a Hindu term meaning "first rate", "permanent", "genuine") was formed in Toronto during 1979 and released a humorous independent single "Rubber Girl" in 1981. They signed to Solid Gold Records shortly after with their self-titled debut in 1984 |
