Just FYI, he's actually suing about the animated series that shot up shortly after this video was released.

counterpoint; you're a dumb troll

hippies wouldn't care if you smoked weed.

hippies > officer bubbles.

Hippies may not care if you smoke weed but they care if you eat meat, cut down trees, disrupt any kind of natural dwelling including hornets nests etc. No joke... my hippie neighbor gave me a "talking to" for killing a nest of bees under my steps that were stinging people by citing that it was disrupting the natural order of things... meanwhile they trap and kill squirrels because the squirrels dig up their precious garden. Go figure.

If you ever had to co-exist with people are die hard hippies, they are worse than any cop with a bug up their ass.

Being somewhat preachy, hypocritical and probably smelling bad sure is a lot worse than being the ruling class' hired thugs, dispatched to deprive citizens of their rights of assembly!

Die-hard hippies talk your ear off; bad cops beat the shit out of you. I think I'll take the hippies any day.

I know I would rather be beaten then talked to by someone who believes they are morally superior that isn't a Christian..

Maybe not, but when you're a cop you need to maintain a relationship with the people you're policing, and when you're surrounded by cameras you should realize that you are basically representing all cops. Maybe she was a loopy bubble blowing hippy, but I don't think it's unreasonable to ask nicely first.

wat?

A lot of the protesters at the G8 this year had phone numbers written on their body so they could contact legal counsel if they were arrested, since the SOP in previous G8 security was to confiscate pretty much everything but the clothes on your back when you were detained.

Naturally, the cops claimed this was evidence of conspiracy to commit something or other and used it as an excuse to arrest some people they wanted to arrest (when they didn't just arrest everyone with no excuse whatsoever, which they did a lot of).

Having thought about it, all the cops I've interacted with fall only into those two categories.

Same here.

This video is a pretty good example of that dynamic, actually.

I kind of feel bad for Blonde Female Friendlycop as she keeps shooting glances at her colleague throughout while not being able to really countermand his behavior lest she 'present an image of weakness' or some such rot.

Reasonable professional? Is that a Canadian thing?

giggle.

You could poke someone's eye out with those bubbles.

Psst. Look 2 posts up. And then 2 posts above that. And then look a bit higher up again. In fact... I'm going to go ahead & suggest that you're full of shit.

Well judging from the lack of other dupe police this was one that most people missed, myself included.

Also only one person in this video is being an insufferable asshole. The other is being mildly annoying at worst. Why anyone feels the need to defend this asshat or claim she had it coming is beyond me.

And see Stanley's post for why he's my nominee for Dick of the Year Award.

I certainly wouldn't defend this guy's behavior, especially now that he's shitting his diaper over YouTube comments or whatever.

If he's a ten on the asshole scale, I'd give her a solid five for instigating a very small man in the most hilariously inept way possible. Also, if I'm not mistaken, this is the video where there's a cut before she's arrested, right? So you don't really know why she's arrested, but you're made to assume it's because she blew some bubbles? This video will take legitimately all day to load out where I am, so I'm not going to back any of this up with a viewing.

Also, two posts above mine was a joke about a gun. And two jokes above that was a joke about white women. I don't get it.

He wants Youtube to give him information of its posters because he wants to sue them, too?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
