Here are some reviews of Bad Cop, No Donut!

"I'm disgusted that this kind of hate mongering would be directed at our police officers," Fantino said yesterday.

Toronto Star - Feb 23, 2005

Le chef Fantino se dit dgot et juge que l'mission ne fait rien de moins que de l'incitation la haine contre la police de Toronto. La direction de l'Universit Ryerson a pour sa part refus de donner suite la demande du chef Fantino.

CBC - Feb 23, 2005

The city's police chief is pressuring Ryerson University to ban a program on its campus radio station that airs negative stories about police.

Calgary Sun (CP) - Feb 24, 2005

Fantino called it a "hate-mongering" program, but Ron Anicich, the show's volunteer host and producer, stands by the content of Bad Cop, No Donut! which airs Thursday mornings on CKLN 88.1-FM, a Ryerson campus radio station.

Toronto Star - Feb 24, 2005

Bad Cop No Donut, for those who aren't aware, is an excellent weekly digest of nationwide accounts of Police Brutality, from lawsuit settlements and legal decisions, to off duty officer conduct and corruption, to taser use, deadly force, and stories yet to be told.

Santa Cruz Indymedia - Feb 24, 2005

Kristin Schwartz, CKLN's news director, said there is nothing wrong with the show's content. "These are the people who are entrusted with the safety and security of the community and in cases where they violate that, it is a matter of public concern." Ron Anicich, Bad Cop, No Donut! host, said he is only reporting the truth about police abuse.

Eyeopener - Mar 01, 2005

The chief urged Ryerson to do "the right thing" and get rid of the show. CKLN has stood its ground and said it won't be changing the show's content.

Eyeopener - Mar 01, 2005

The weekly Ryerson University radio show, Bad Cop, No Donut!, reports on negative stories about police and the Toronto police chief, Julian Fantino, wants to see an end to it. Im not telling anybody anything that hasnt been in the newspaper already, says Ron Anicich, the shows host, producer and self-described anarchist.

London Times - Mar 01, 2005

His attitude was evident last week when he threw a fit over a Ryerson radio show called Bad Cop, No Donut. The host, Ron Anicich, reads headlines of police abuses from around North America -- standard-issue leftist college dissent. But Fantino went ballistic. "I'm disgusted that this kind of hate-mongering would be directed at our police officers," he said, as if cops were a distinct group deserving of Charter protection.

eye - Mar 03, 2005

In response to complaints from Chief Julian Fantino of the Toronto Police Department in Canada, the host of the local radio show Bad Cop, No Donut! will change his offensive e-mail address, but the show will continue to air anti-law enforcement sentiments.

Police Magazine - Mar 04, 2005

Some people are asking questions as to whether the arrest has to do with the fact that the police are angry with CKLN for their show Bad Cop, No Donut! that has been critical of the police.

Rabble - Mar 8, 2005

Anicich is unfazed by Fantinos remarks. We are not worried about the future of the show. The fact that Fantino is interested in this shows we are doing something right. Otherwise, they wouldnt be attacking us in the media.

The Charlatan - Mar 10, 2005

The wrong way to react, however, is to criticize the station, its host, and by implication its listeners -- who I'm assuming are predominantly young people -- as Fantino did. His criticism lends substance only to the implicit notion that "the man," or the authority figure, is out to get Anicich's audience.

Ottawa Sun - Mar 16, 2005

L.A. newsmedia (including LAVoice) have avoided covering this one to date, but today a Toronto radio show called Bad Cop, No Donut reports that an LAPD officer has been recommended for termination because he was having sex with strippers while on duty.

L.A.Voice - July 7, 2005

One radio show that has blown me away is Bad Cop, No Donut which weekly chronicles the police abuse in North America. It is staggering and makes me wonder what's up with our system of criminal justice based on a para-military model that leads to such consistent and pervasive abuse.

David G. Markham , psychotherapist, Brockport, New York - July 27, 2005
